  • Avoid contact with water.

  • Be gentle with the treated area; no rubbing!

  • Avoid sleeping on your brows.

  • No brow makeup.

  • Avoid hot temperatures and moisture. No sauna, steam baths, jacuzzi, hot yoga, etc.

  • No other facial beauty treatments.

BROW HENNA

First 24 hours post treatment:

  • Avoid contact with water.

  • Be gentle with the treated area; no rubbing!

  • No brow makeup.

  • Avoid hot temperatures and moisture. No sauna, steam baths, jacuzzi, hot yoga, etc.

BROW/LASH TINT

First 24 hours post treatment:

  • Be gentle with the treated area; no rubbing!

  • Avoid washing the treated area.

  • Avoid hot temperatures and moisture. No sauna, steam baths, jacuzzi, hot yoga, etc.

  • No brow makeup.


Within first 24 hours and beyond:

  • Avoid excessive exposure to the sun/UV lights. (The effects of the tint will start to diminish within 2-3 weeks as hair grows out and the tint color fades. Excessive exposure to sunlight/UV light can make the tint color fade faster.)

  • Avoid oil-based and exfoliating skin care products around the treated area. A gentle facial cleanser or eye makeup remover is recommended.

LASH LIFT

First 24 hours post treatment:

  • Do not get your lashes wet.

  • Avoid hot temperatures and moisture. No sauna, steam baths, jacuzzi, hot yoga, swimming, etc.

  • No eye makeup.

  • No other facial beauty treatments.

 

Within first 24 hours and beyond:

  • Be gentle with your lashes; no rubbing!

  • Avoid waterproof mascara.

  • Use of sauna/steam is possible after 24 hours, but may weaken the effect of the lift.

WAXING

First 24 hours post treatment:

  • No hot baths or showers (cool to lukewarm water only.)

  • Avoid hot temperatures and moisture. No sauna, steam baths, jacuzzi, hot yoga, etc.

  • Avoid sweaty exercise - sweat can clog your hair follicles.

  • No tanning (sunbathing, sun beds and fake tans included.)

  • No scratching, and no touching the treated area with unwashed hands.

  • Avoid applying deodorant or anything perfumed or make-up to the waxed area.

  • No other facial beauty treatments.

  • Avoid retinoids/vitamin A until redness has subsided.

 

We recommend avoiding tweezing in-between appointments. This allows the growth cycle of your hairs to be more consistent.

 

Please note: some slight soreness, small bumps and redness are common and perfectly normal temporary reactions, particularly if this is your first wax. These symptoms should subside over the next 24-48 hours. If you experience persistent redness or irritation or if you have any questions, please reach out to us.

THREADING

  • No hot baths or showers (cool to lukewarm water only.)

  • Avoid hot temperatures and moisture. No sauna, steam baths, jacuzzi, hot yoga, etc.

  • Avoid sweaty exercise - sweat can clog your hair follicles.

  • No tanning (sunbathing, sun beds and fake tans included.)

  • No scratching, and no touching the treated area with unwashed hands.

  • Avoid applying deodorant or anything perfumed or make-up to the waxed area.

  • No other facial beauty treatments.

MAKEUP

First 4 hours post application:

  • Be aware of allergic reactions – in the event of this remove with damp cotton wool and apply a soothing lotion such as calamine lotion.

  • To re-apply lipstick, do this with a lip brush, apply lip gloss, and blot.

  •  Avoid activities such as swimming, saunas, steam rooms, and other hot environments.

  • Avoid touching the face.

  • Use a spray fixative or setting powder to make the products on the face last longer.

  • Use blotting sheets/paper that soaks up excess oil on the skin without ruining makeup.

  • Removal of products – use eye make up remover and cleanser.

  • Try to cleanse, tone, and moisturize your face twice a day using products suitable for your skin type.

  • Give your skin a day of ‘rest’ so it can return to its normal pH and prevent the chance of break-out and stress of the skin!

MICROBLADING

Day of Microblading:

 

  1. Avoid Touching: Do not touch the treated area with your fingers or any other objects. This can introduce bacteria and impede the healing process.

  2. Keep it Clean: Gently clean the area with a mild, fragrance-free cleanser and lukewarm water. Use a cotton pad to pat it dry.

  3. Apply Healing Ointment: After cleaning, apply a thin layer of the provided healing ointment with a clean cotton swab. Avoid over-applying, as this can suffocate the skin.

 

First Week (Days 1-7):

  1. No Water Exposure: Avoid getting the treated area wet during the first week. This includes keeping it dry in the shower and when washing your face.

  2. No Makeup: Refrain from using makeup on or around the treated area for at least a week. This includes foundation, eyeshadow, and any other cosmetics.

  3. No Sun Exposure: Avoid direct sunlight and tanning beds during the healing process. Sun can fade the pigmentation.

  4. No Sweating: Minimize physical exertion, sweating, and hot environments as they can affect the healing process.

  5. No Scratching or Peeling: Resist the urge to scratch or pick at the treated area as this can cause damage and lead to uneven healing.

  6. Avoid Saunas and Swimming Pools: Stay away from saunas, swimming pools, and bodies of water to prevent infection.

 

Second Week (Days 8-14):

  1. Gradual Resumption: You can gradually resume your normal activities, but continue to avoid intense exercise and sun exposure.

  2. Gentle Cleansing: You may start using a gentle facial cleanser, but avoid any exfoliating products in the treated area.

  3. Sun Protection: Once healed, always apply sunscreen to the microbladed area when exposed to the sun to preserve the color.

 

Long-Term Care:

  1. Avoid Chemical Peels and Laser Treatments: Inform any future skincare professionals about your microblading, as certain treatments can affect the pigment.

  2. Touch-Up Appointment: Schedule and attend your recommended touch-up appointment as advised by your microblading technician. This will help maintain the color and shape.

  3. Maintain with Proper Skincare: As part of your daily skincare routine, use a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer and avoid harsh skincare products around the eyebrows.

  4. Be Patient: Understand that the color will fade slightly during the healing process, and the final results will be visible after the touch-up appointment.

**Emergency: In the event of any unusual redness, swelling, infection, or allergic reaction, contact your microblading technician or a medical professional immediately.
