Before and After Care
-
Before your Lash Extension Appointment
Clean Your Lashes – Ensure your lashes are free of makeup, oils, and mascara before your appointment. Clean lashes allow for better adhesion of the extensions.
Avoid Waterproof Mascara – Refrain from using waterproof mascara 2-3 days prior to your appointment. It can make your lashes harder to clean and could affect the bond of the extensions.
Come Makeup-Free – Arrive at your appointment with a clean face, free from eye makeup or products around your eyes. This helps your technician work more efficiently and ensures the extensions last longer.
Remove Contact Lenses – If you wear contact lenses, be sure to remove them before your appointment. This is to ensure comfort and safety during the lash extension application.
Plan for a Relaxed Session – Lash extension appointments take time, so be prepared to lie back and relax during the process. Bring a pair of headphones or something to help you unwind.After your Lash Extension Appointment
Avoid Water for the First 24 Hours – For the first 24 hours after your appointment, avoid getting your lashes wet. This includes swimming, showering, or exposing your lashes to steam.
Don’t Rub Your Eyes – Avoid rubbing, pulling, or tugging at your lashes. This can cause them to fall out prematurely and damage your natural lashes.
Be Gentle with Your Lashes – When washing your face, avoid rubbing the eye area. Use a gentle cleanser and opt for a lash extension-safe cleanser to maintain their longevity.
No Oil-Based Products – Avoid oil-based makeup removers, cleansers, and creams as they can weaken the bond of the extensions and cause them to fall off sooner.
Brush Your Lashes Daily – Use a clean spoolie to gently comb through your lashes each day to keep them looking neat and separated. This helps prevent tangling and keeps them looking fresh.
Sleep on Your Back – If possible, sleep on your back to avoid putting pressure on your lashes. You can also use a silk pillowcase to reduce friction on your lashes while you sleep.
Avoid Heat and Steam – Avoid excessive heat or steam (such as saunas or hot showers) for the first 48 hours after application. This helps the adhesive fully cure.
Don’t Use Mascara – Mascara is not necessary with lash extensions. If you do use mascara, make sure it is water-based and designed for use with extensions. Avoid waterproof mascara.
Refill Appointments – Lash extensions naturally shed as your natural lashes grow. To keep your lashes looking full and beautiful, we recommend a refill every 2-3 weeks, depending on your lash growth cycle and how well you follow aftercare instructions.
Be Mindful of Makeup – If you wear eye makeup, be sure to use a lash extension-safe remover. Avoid any products that contain oils or alcohol, which can break down the adhesive.Additional Tips
Stay Hydrated – Drinking plenty of water helps maintain healthy lashes and promotes hair growth, including your natural lashes.
Avoid Lash Curling Tools – Do not use eyelash curlers on your extensions. The extensions are pre-curled, and using a curler can damage them.By following these simple before and aftercare steps, you’ll ensure that your lash extensions stay beautiful, last longer, and maintain their natural, glamorous look!

Before Your Keratin Lash Lift Appointment
Avoid Mascara – Refrain from wearing mascara for at least 24 hours before your appointment. This ensures that your lashes are clean and ready for the treatment.
Clean Lashes – Make sure your lashes are free from makeup, oils, and other products before the appointment. Clean lashes allow the keratin solution to adhere properly.
Arrive Makeup-Free – Arrive with a clean face, free of eye makeup or creams around the eye area. This helps the process go smoothly and ensures the best results.
Avoid Eye Creams or Oils – For best results, avoid using eye creams or oils on your lashes and the surrounding area for 24 hours prior to the treatment. These can interfere with the bonding process.
Be Prepared to Relax – The procedure typically takes 45-60 minutes, so plan for a relaxed, comfortable session where you will need to keep your eyes closed.After your Keratin Lash Lift Appointment
Avoid Water for 24 Hours – Do not get your lashes wet for the first 24 hours after your treatment.
Don’t Apply Mascara Immediately – Wait at least 24 hours before applying mascara.
Avoid Rubbing or Pulling Your Lashes – Be gentle with your lashes. Avoid rubbing, pulling, or tugging on them as this can cause them to break or fall out prematurely.
No Oil-Based Products – Avoid using oil-based makeup removers, cleansers, or products around your lashes for at least 48 hours. These can weaken the lift and affect the longevity of the treatment.
Brush Your Lashes – Use a clean spoolie to gently comb through your lashes daily. This will help keep them looking neat, separated, and lifted.
Avoid Heat and Steam – For the first 48 hours, avoid exposing your lashes to heat, steam, or excessive humidity (e.g., hot showers, saunas, or hot tubs). This allows the keratin solution to fully set.Additional Tips
Use a Lash Serum – Consider using a lash serum to keep your natural lashes healthy and strong. This can also help maintain the lift longer.
Limit Eyelash Curling – Avoid using eyelash curlers on your lashes. The lift is designed to create a natural curl, and using curlers can weaken or break the lash extensions.
Refills and Touch-Ups – Keratin lash lifts last for about 6-8 weeks. As your natural lashes shed and grow, the lift will gradually fade. We recommend scheduling a touch-up appointment every 6-8 weeks to maintain the lifted look. -
Before Your Brow Wax, Tint / Dye Appointment
Cleanse Your Brows – Make sure your brows are free from makeup, oils, and lotions before your appointment. Clean brows allow for better results and ensure the tint, dye, or wax adheres properly.
Don’t Apply Moisturizers or Oils – Do not apply any oils, creams, or moisturizers to the area before your appointment. These products can create a barrier on your skin, making it difficult for the wax or tint to adhere properly.
Avoid Sun Exposure – Try not to sunbathe 24 hours before your appointment. Sunburned or overly sensitive skin can cause irritation during the waxing process.
Let Your Brows Grow – If you want a more defined shape, try to let your brows grow out a bit before your appointment, especially for waxing.
Retinol and Exfoliating Products – If you use retinol, exfoliating acids, or other active ingredients, avoid using them on your brow area 5-7 days before your appointment. These products can make your skin more sensitive, which can increase the likelihood of irritation and the skin lifting during waxing.After your Brow Wax, Tint / Dye Appointment
Avoid Water and Sweat for 24 Hours – After your brow waxing, tinting, or dyeing session, avoid getting the area wet for the first 24 hours.
No Makeup on Brows for 24 Hours – Avoid applying makeup, including brow pencil or gel, on the brow area for at least 24 hours after your treatment to allow the tint or dye to fully set.
Avoid Touching or Rubbing Your Brows – After waxing, avoid touching or rubbing your brows as this can cause irritation or disrupt the shape.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals and Exfoliants – For the first 48 hours, refrain from using exfoliants or any harsh skincare products around the brow area, as this could fade the tint or dye and irritate the skin.
Keep the Area Moisturized – After waxing, use a gentle moisturizer to keep the skin around your brows hydrated and prevent irritation. You can also apply a soothing gel like aloe vera.
Avoid Sun Exposure – For at least 48 hours after the treatment, avoid direct sun exposure. The skin around your brows will be more sensitive after waxing, and excessive sun can cause irritation or fading of the tint/dye.
Be Gentle When Cleansing – When washing your face, avoid scrubbing the brow area. Use a gentle cleanser and be careful around the brows to avoid disturbing the shape or fading the color.
Don't Use Oil-Based Products – If you’re using any skincare or makeup products near your brows, make sure they’re not oil-based, as oil can cause the tint or dye to fade more quickly. Avoid Chemical Peels – If you plan on getting a chemical peel or any facial treatments, wait at least 48 hours after brow waxing or tinting. Harsh treatments can interfere with the tint and cause skin irritation.
Tint and Dye Care – The tint or dye usually lasts around 3-6 weeks, depending on your hair growth cycle and aftercare. To maintain a longer-lasting result, avoid excessive exfoliation and keep your brows moisturized.
Touch-Up Appointments – If you want to keep your brows looking fresh and defined, schedule a touch-up appointment every 4-6 weeks for waxing, tinting, or dyeing.Additional Tips
Stay Hydrated – Drinking plenty of water helps keep your skin healthy, and this can help prolong the life of your brow tint or dye.
Gentle Brow Brushing – If your brows need to be shaped between appointments, use a clean spoolie to brush them into place. Avoid plucking or tweezing between sessions to maintain the best shape and results. -
Before Your Spray Tan Appointment
Exfoliate – Exfoliate your skin 24 hours before your appointment to remove dead skin cells and ensure an even tan. Focus on areas that tend to be drier, such as elbows, knees, and ankles.
Shave or Wax – If you plan to shave or wax, do so at least 24 hours before your spray tan to avoid irritation. Shaving immediately before your appointment can cause your skin to be too sensitive.
Avoid Moisturising – Do not apply moisturiser, oils, or deodorants on the day of your appointment. These can create a barrier on your skin, preventing the spray tan from developing properly.
Wear Loose, Dark Clothing – After your spray tan, wear loose-fitting, dark-colored clothes to avoid staining and to prevent the tan from rubbing off. Tight clothing can cause streaking.
Remove Makeup and Jewelry – Make sure to remove any makeup, lotions, deodorants, or jewelry before your appointment. These products can interfere with the tanning solution and affect the results.After your Spray Tan Appointment
Avoid Water for 2-8 Hours – For the first 2-8 hours after your spray tan, avoid getting your skin wet. This includes showering, swimming, or sweating excessively. Water can cause the tan to streak or fade unevenly.
Don’t Rub or Scratch Your Skin – After your tan, avoid rubbing or scratching your skin. This can cause the tan to come off unevenly or patchy.
Shower Carefully – When you do shower after the recommended waiting period, use lukewarm water and a gentle, sulfate-free body wash. Avoid scrubbing your skin with a loofah or exfoliator, as this can strip the tan.
Pat Dry After Showering – After showering, gently pat your skin dry with a towel instead of rubbing it. This helps preserve the tan and avoid streaking.
Moisturise Regularly – Keep your skin hydrated by applying a moisturiser daily. Dry skin will cause the tan to fade more quickly, so moisturizing helps extend the life of your tan.
Avoid Exfoliating – Try to avoid exfoliating your skin for at least 5-7 days after your spray tan. Exfoliation can cause the tan to fade faster by removing the top layer of skin.
Avoid Hot Showers and Sweating – Avoid hot showers, saunas, and excessive sweating for 24-48 hours after your spray tan. Heat and sweat can cause the tan to fade unevenly.
Wear Sunscreen – While spray tans provide a sun-kissed glow, they do not protect against UV rays. Be sure to wear sunscreen if you are exposed to the sun.
Top Up Your Tan – For a consistent glow, consider scheduling a touch-up every 7-10 days, depending on how your skin naturally sheds.
Avoid Tight Clothing – Tight clothing can rub against your skin and affect the evenness of your tan. Stick to loose, comfortable clothing for the first few hours after your spray tan.
