11 Virtual Beauty Treatments You Can Schedule Right Now

There’s no more appropriate time to treat yourself to a little pampering than the months leading up to your wedding. However, if you’re a bride- or groom-to-be during the coronavirus pandemic, chances are, your go-to salons, spas and other treatment centers are closed due to shelter-in-place regulations for the foreseeable future.

The good news: Companies across the U.S. are going above and beyond to offer their clients opportunities to indulge in self-care from the comfort of their home. They’re being known as virtual beauty treatments and they’re becoming increasingly popular in all areas—skin care, makeup, hair care, nail care and more. That means whether you’re looking for a little rejuvenation, a glow up, or a full-fledged transformation, you don’t have to wait until the pandemic is a thing of the past. This is especially helpful for brides and grooms who are getting married in the next few weeks or months or are hosting a virtual wedding.

To help point you in the right direction, we’re sharing some top-notch virtual beauty treatments being offered right now.

Treatment: Virtual brow shaping

Desperate to have your eyebrows cleaned up? You can—right from home. All you have to do is submit a clear photo of your eyebrows along with the results you’re looking to achieve for your big day. Then, during the virtual beauty consultation, a brow expert from Browtiste will discuss your brow growth patterns and give you specific instructions on how to properly tweeze and trim your brows. Last, but not least, they recommend products specifically for your brows needs.
