Frequently Asked Questions

  • What does 10-free nail polish mean?

    10-free nail polish excludes ten harmful chemicals commonly found in traditional formulas, including formaldehyde, toluene, and DBP. This makes it safer for sensitive skin and reduces exposure to toxins. At Arlington VIP Spa, we use 10-free, vegan formulas that deliver the same shine and durability as conventional polish.
  • How does a vegan manicure differ from a regular one?

    A vegan manicure uses cruelty-free, non-toxic products free from animal-derived ingredients and harsh chemicals. The application process and results are identical to traditional manicures, but it's gentler on skin and nails. At Arlington VIP Spa, our technicians are trained in clean-product application for healthier nail care.
  • When should you schedule a facial in Arlington's climate?

    Arlington's humid summers and dry winters can stress skin, making seasonal facials helpful for hydration and protection. Many clients book monthly during seasonal transitions or after high-stress work periods. At Arlington VIP Spa, we customize treatments based on local weather conditions and individual skin needs.
  • What's the benefit of microdermabrasion for dull skin?

    Microdermabrasion deeply exfoliates dead skin cells, revealing smoother, brighter skin underneath and improving texture. It's especially effective for Arlington clients dealing with dullness from urban exposure and commuting. At Arlington VIP Spa, we use equipment-assisted methods for visible, measurable results.
  • How often should you get a pedicure?

    Most clients benefit from pedicures every three to four weeks to maintain nail health and prevent dryness or cracking. Busy professionals in Arlington often schedule monthly visits for consistent upkeep. At Arlington VIP Spa, we tailor treatments to seasonal skin needs and local climate conditions.
  • Is threading better than waxing for eyebrows?

    Threading is a chemical-free, precise method that's gentler on sensitive skin and creates clean, natural brow lines. It's ideal for clients with skin sensitivities or those seeking sharper definition. At Arlington VIP Spa, our technicians use traditional threading techniques for accuracy and minimal redness.
  • What's included in a men's facial service?

    Men's facials focus on deep cleansing, hydration, and treating clogged pores or rough skin from active routines. Techniques are tailored to male skin, which tends to be thicker and oilier. At Arlington VIP Spa, we create comfortable, private experiences designed specifically for men's grooming needs.
  • How does dermaplaning improve skin texture?

    Dermaplaning uses a surgical blade to gently remove dead skin and fine facial hair, leaving skin smooth and radiant. It enhances product absorption and creates a flawless makeup base. At Arlington VIP Spa, dermaplaning is part of our advanced skin care offerings for visible skin improvement.
  • Can nail care services help strengthen weak nails?

    Yes, regular nail shaping, cuticle care, and restorative treatments protect nail strength and prevent damage. Gentle tools and proper technique support healthier growth over time. At Arlington VIP Spa, our technicians focus on promoting long-term nail health with consistent maintenance.
  • What's the biggest mistake people make with waxing?

    Skipping pre- and post-care guidance often leads to irritation, ingrown hairs, or poor results. Proper preparation and aftercare reduce discomfort and extend smoothness. At Arlington VIP Spa, we provide clients with personalized care instructions to maximize comfort and longevity of waxing services.
  • Why choose a spa wellness package over single services?

    Wellness packages combine multiple treatments into a time-efficient, relaxing experience that addresses appearance and stress relief in one visit. They're ideal for special occasions or busy professionals seeking comprehensive self-care. At Arlington VIP Spa, we customize bundles based on client goals and schedules.
  • Do non-toxic nail products last as long as regular polish?

    Yes, 10-free and non-toxic polishes provide the same durability, shine, and wear time as traditional formulas without harmful chemicals. Proper application and curing ensure long-lasting results. At Arlington VIP Spa, our vegan polish options are eco-friendly and perform just as well as classic products.
