Why Dermaplaning at Gild Beauty Bar is a Game-Changer

There are so many beauty services that can help clear, smooth, and accentuate your skin; but there are few that are as impactful as Dermaplaning! At Gild Beauty Bar, we offer the smoothest skin in Northern California through our facial and body waxing services AND through our Facial Dermaplaning service! I want to deep dive into something exciting with you today—something that can truly elevate your skincare game: Dermaplaning. 

You might be wondering, “Is there really a difference between dermaplaning at a studio like Gild and doing it at home?” The answer to that is ABSOLUTELY —and I’m here to tell you why our studio experience isn’t just better, it’s truly unmatched!

Sterilization & Safety: Our Top Priority

First and foremost, safety is our highest priority. When you come into Gild, every tool and surface is meticulously sterilized following the strictest health protocols. Our dermaplaning tools are single-use or professionally sterilized, ensuring a germ-free environment. At-home dermaplaning kits, while convenient, can’t replicate this level of safety and may carry risks of infection if not used correctly. When you trust the experts at Gild, you’re investing in your health, peace of mind, and beautiful skin.

The Art of Precision & Technique

Dermaplaning isn’t just about scraping your face with a blade—it’s an art. Our licensed and certified Dermaplaning Artists are highly trained specifically for this service. They understand the anatomy of the skin, the right angle, and the perfect pressure to remove dead skin and fine vellus hair without causing irritation or damage. In a professional setting like Gild, every stroke is precise, controlled, and tailored to your unique skin type. 

On the other hand, at-home tools often lack the sharpness and professional calibration needed for such accuracy. Without the proper training, you might not get the full benefits or, worse, could risk irritating your skin or causing micro-cuts. Our artists are also trained to evaluate your skin’s condition and modify the treatment as needed, ensuring maximum results with minimized risks.

An Experience Like No Other

Let’s talk about how you feel during and after a dermaplaning session at Gild. The moment you walk into our relaxing space—immersed in an environment curated for peace, laughter, and genuine care—you immediately let go of stress. Our culture here at Gild is all about creating a safe haven for women like you to indulge in self-love and beauty.

The touch of our professional treatments—the soothing facial, the gentle glide of the blade, the calming ambiance—makes the entire experience not just about skincare, but wellness for your mind and spirit. Plus, our results are proven: gleaming, smooth skin that’s ready to glow—whether you’re heading to a special event or just want that fresh-faced, confident feel every day.

Top 3 Things to Never Do Before Your Brazilian Wax at Gild Beauty Bar in Redding, CA

At Gild Beauty Bar, we always strive to create a professional, relaxing environment where our clients feel comfortable and pampered. If you're preparing for your first—or tenth—Brazilian wax, knowing what to avoid can make your experience smoother and more comfortable. Here are three important things to keep in mind to ensure the best results and a pain-free session.

Don't Wax or Shave Right Before Your Appointment

It may sound counterintuitive, but it’s best to avoid waxing or shaving 24 to 48 hours prior to your appointment. Overly recent hair removal can cause irritation and sensitivity, making the waxing process uncomfortable. Allow the hair to grow to about a quarter-inch, which is the ideal length for effective waxing without discomfort.

Don't Use Tanning Products or Sun Exposure  

Avoid tanning, whether from the sun or self-tanners, at least 48 hours before your service. Skin that is sunburned or tanned can be more sensitive and prone to irritation during waxing. Protect your skin by staying out of direct sunlight and skipping tanning lotions, allowing your skin to stay smooth, calm, and ready for waxing.

Don't Use Heavy Lotions, Oils, or Moisturizers on Your Skin

Prior to your appointment, refrain from applying heavy creams or oils on the bikini area. These substances can interfere with the wax's ability to grip the hair properly, leading to less effective removal and increased discomfort. Stick to wearing loose, breathable clothing on the day of your appointment and keep your skin clean and dry.

GlyMed Plus offers tailored peel options that cater to aging skin concerns while being gentle yet effective, helping you enjoy noticeable improvements without lengthy downtime.

Our Skincare Experts also use PCA Skin for Lasting Results

In addition to GlyMed, we also incorporate PCA Skin products and treatments into our skincare routines. PCA Skin is well-known for its innovative formulas that target signs of aging, deep hydration, and skin renewal—all crucial factors for maintaining a youthful appearance.

PCA’s professional-grade peels help:
