A quiet room for the skin you shave
Whisker is a two-esthetician skin studio in downtown Littleton, taking new clients. Come on a shave day, lie back in a dim room and leave with a routine short enough to keep. Anyone who likes a quiet room is welcome.
Your first visit
A first visit, in order
About an hour, door to door. Nobody asks you to shave first, or to explain yourself.
Book your visit
Pick a service and a time on the booking page, or call. Say how often you shave and what you use. A first visit takes a deposit that goes toward it.
When you arrive
Suite B is at street level, off the courtyard on Main Street, with parking behind the building. Come five minutes early, shaved that morning or not.
What to expect
A short conversation, then a look at your skin under the lamp. The facial follows: a warm towel, cleansing, a mask and a face and neck massage, at your pace.
Afterward
Your esthetician writes your routine on one card, in three steps. Book the next visit at the desk, or whenever suits you.

Your routine
Your routine, in three steps
The card you take home says this, with your own products on it.
Wash gently
Cool or lukewarm water, a mild wash, and pat dry.
Moisturize while damp
Moisturizer within a minute of washing, especially after you shave.
Protect in the morning
A moisturizer with sunscreen. The sun is strong here, even in winter.
Dry air
What dry air does to a shaved face
Colorado air holds very little water, and every shave takes off a little more of the skin's surface. With the heat on in winter, shaved skin can feel tight by noon. We ask when it feels worst, then plan the visit and the routine around that.

Questions
Short answers before you book
What happens at a first visit?
A short conversation about how often you shave and what you use, then a look at your skin under the lamp. A facial follows, planned around what you said. Plan on an hour. You leave with your routine on one card.
Do I need to shave before I come?
No. Come as you are, shaved that morning or not. Tell us at booking how often you shave and with what, and we'll plan around it.
How long does a visit take?
The skin check alone is 20 minutes. Facials are 30, 45 or 60 minutes, and a first visit with both is 60. Every service on the menu lists its own time.
Do I need a skin check first?
Yes, once, before your first facial. It's how we learn your skin and your routine. If you come back after a long gap, we start with a short check-in.
Is Whisker only for men?
The menu starts with shaved skin because that is who it was planned around. Anyone who likes a quiet room and a short, plain visit is welcome.
