LASH LIFT AFTERCARE: Once done keep your lashes dry for 12-24hours. After that time window you can apply mascara adn wash lashes with warm water and tear free cleanser. Lash lifts last about 6-8weeks and sometimes 10weeks! it will grow out over time. Use Vitamin e oil,castor oil or our DUO Serum to ensure lashes grow, hydrated and feel smoother. 

LASH EXTENSIONS PRECARE: Please arrive with no makeup and remove contacts before we start the service. If you have mascara it takes away time from our appoinment. We will go over looks and inspo pictures to get your desired results. 

LASH EXTENSIONS AFTERCARE: Cleanse lashes daily 
to help lashes stay healthy and last longer. Avoid lash mites and blepharitis and demotex by using a lash cleanser not just a face wash that is not meant for lash extensions.

Waxing PRE CARE: Please AVOID getting waxed if you're using or on Accutane, Benzoyl Peroxide (ProActive
,Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA)(BHA)(Glycolic Lactic),Oral Antibiotics, Topical Antibiotics, Salicylic Acid, Retinol Cream, Bleaching Lightening Cream, Niaciamide Products (la roche posay), Topical acne creams prescribed to you,Some Cerave Products (Exfoliants)
If used the past 48-72 hours or even a week. Please refrain from use for a week and use gentle cleansers that don't contain these ingredients. It will cause irritation and skin lifting to the skin which could darken or scar the area that was waxed especially brow waxing. 

BROW LAMINATION: AVOID PRODUCTS ABOVE THAT ARE MENTIONED IN THE WAXING category. Brow lamination is also a mild exfoliant to the skin and if we wax,laminate and you use those products at home it will definitely cause skin lifting from 3x of exfolianting your skin. If you have makeup I have makeup remover. 

BROW LAMINATION AFTERCARE: Avoid getting them wet from sweat,water and sun exposure for 24hours to ensure longevity and not to weaken the lamination. Brow hair will grow out 6-8weeks and return back to normal. Brow lamination maintence would be ideal if your brow hairs grow fast around the surrounding shape. You can book a brow wax to make your lamination look brand new! Sometimes excess hair looses the laminate look. Use Vitamin e oil,castor oil, conditioner, olaplex #3 or a brow conditioner like our DUO Serum to ensure hairs are hydrated and feel smoother. 

BROW TINTS & BROW STAINS PRECARE: I prep your skin to ensure longetivity when i apply the tint or stain. Which ever brow tint service you choose it will always dye your brow hairs. 

BROW TINTS & BROW STAINS AFTERCARE: Avoid water,oils,cleansers,sweat and makeup remover, exfoliants from skin care, chemical peels,microderm or anything that could cause pigment to fade quicker. Usually clients love the look of day 3. It's best to leave a bit darker so dye and stain can last longer on brows and skin. If water and sun exposure is introduced the stain will fade much quicker. The dye on the actually brow hair will last around 4-6weeks. If you rub on the area that is stained it will start to fade sooner as well. Keep brows dry until it fades off the skin around 1-2weeks. These brow appoinments are perfect for someone wanting a makeup look without putting brow makeup on or for someone considering a cosmetic tattoo without the commitment of getting something forever.
