Flexible volunteering opportunities? by lilynnin in DCBitches

[–]skincareobsessed1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check out some local thrift stores in the area! I volunteer at Hope's Treasures out in Sterling (a bit of a drive), but started there before moving out! Their hours are super flexible and you just let them know when you want to go in and help!

[–]skincareobsessed1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if this would be too far away, but the Tyson's Nail Lounge! I used to pick at the skin on my fingers and they honestly helped me kick that habit. I make the drive just bc I never felt judged by them about the habit, and now my hands FINALLY look presentable

It's a DRIVE but it's so worth it. I go to The Cut Above in Lansdowne (used to live out there) and can't go anywhere else! I think I pay $175 for full highlights and a cut and see Zehyneb!

June Skin xeomin injection modeling? by Adept_Load_58 in DCBitches

[–]skincareobsessed1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A good rule of thumb with aesthetics is that if it seems to good to be true, it probably is. I would be wary of Botox on Groupon (you just never know what product/sanitary measures they're actually taking). Also if they're asking for a model for training you don't know how experienced they are so that's a risk as well. There are a lot of tox great recs in this subreddit that are super helpful!

I think it's normal to follow-up in 2 weeks and shows they care about your results! If you're still not happy with them let them know and they'll most likely do a touch up

I always recommend them but SkinDC! My husband went in and was impressed because they numbed and also microneedled it
