Before and After Care

---

Proper prep ensures the best results and helps your lash lift last longer.

• ✅ Remove contact lenses before your appointment. Bring glasses if needed — your eyes must remain closed for the entire procedure.
   
• ✅ Avoid applying any eye makeup, mascara, eyeliner, or eyelash serums before your appointment.
   
• ✅ Gently cleanse your eyes and lashes — arrive with clean, makeup-free lashes.
   

• ❌ Do not use waterproof mascara or lash serums for at least 48 hours prior.
   
• ❌ No oil-based products on or around the eye area for 24–48 hours before.
   
• ❌ No caffeine on the day of your appointment — it can cause eye fluttering during the service.
   
• ❌ Do not curl your lashes before your lash lift — we need them in their natural state.
   
• ❌ No lash tinting, perming, or other treatments within 2 weeks before your appointment.
   

• Are pregnant or breastfeeding.
   
• Have eye infections, allergies, or extremely sensitive eyes.
   
• Have had recent eye surgery, LASIK, or procedures near the eye.
   
• Are using prescription lash serums (e.g., Latisse) — they can affect lift results.
   

Proper aftercare is crucial to maintain the lift and health of your lashes. Treat your lashes gently!

• ✅ Keep lashes completely dry for at least 4 hours, preferably 24 hours.
   
• ✅ Avoid touching, rubbing, or sleeping on your face.
   
• ✅ Brush lashes gently with a clean spoolie if needed.
   

• ❌ No steam, sweat, or tears on the lashes.
   
• ❌ No mascara. No Lash growth serums.
   
• ❌ No lash curlers or rubbing your eyes.
   
• ❌ No oil-based products (cleansers, makeup removers, creams) near the lashes.
   
• ❌ No facials, saunas, steam rooms, or intense workouts.
   

• ✅ Use a lash-safe conditioner or nourishing serum to maintain lash health and to prolong the longevity of the lashlift.
   
• ✅ Gently cleanse the eye area daily with oil-free micellar water or lash cleanser.
   
• ✅ Brush lashes daily with a clean spoolie to keep them neat and lifted.
   
• ❌ Avoid waterproof mascara — it can weaken the lift over time.
   

• Lash lifts typically last 6–8 weeks, depending on your lash cycle.
   
• You can repeat the treatment once 70% of the previous lift has grown out.
   
• Avoid over-processing by waiting at least 6 weeks between appointments.
   

• Everyone’s lash growth cycle is different — some clients may see quicker turnover.
   
• Proper aftercare = longer-lasting lift and healthier lashes.
   
• If you experience irritation, redness, or any adverse reaction, contact us immediately.

Brow lamination helps you achieve fuller, fluffier, and more symmetrical brows — with results lasting up to 4–6 weeks. Proper preparation and aftercare are key to getting the best results and maintaining brow health.

To ensure a safe and effective lamination process, please follow the instructions below:

• ✅ Arrive with clean skin — no makeup on or around the brow area.
   
• ✅ Gently exfoliate the brow area 24–48 hours before (optional) to remove dry skin.
   
• ✅ Avoid applying oils, heavy creams, or serums to the brow area.
   

• ❌ No retinol, retinoids, AHAs/BHAs (glycolic, salicylic, lactic acid), or exfoliating acids near the brow area for at least 5–7 days before your appointment.
   
• ❌ Do not wax, thread, tweeze, or tint the brows for at least 5 days before.
   
• ❌ No Botox, dermal fillers, or other facial treatments in the brow area for 2 weeks before.
   
• ❌ Avoid sunburns or tanning the face prior to your appointment.
   
• ❌ Do not use brow growth serums (like Latisse) for at least 3 days prior.
   

• Are pregnant or breastfeeding (lamination can be done with caution).
   
• Have sensitive skin, eczema, psoriasis, or open cuts near the brow area.
   
• Have had a recent allergic reaction or irritation from brow products.
   

Your brows need gentle care in the first 24–48 hours to lock in their shape and prevent dryness or irritation.

• ✅ Keep your brows dry — no water, steam, sweat, or makeup near the brows.
   
• ✅ Gently comb your brows into place daily with a clean spoolie.
   
• ✅ Apply a nourishing oil or serum ( brow conditioner, or a product we provide) daily to keep brows soft and hydrated.
   

• ❌ No washing or wetting the brow area.
   
• ❌ No heavy creams, makeup, or oils directly on the brows.
   
• ❌ No sweating, steam rooms, saunas, hot showers, or swimming.
   
• ❌ No exfoliants, AHAs/BHAs, retinols, or active skincare near brows.
   
• ❌ No brow pencils, powders, or gels — keep them product-free.
   

• ✅ Brush your brows daily to keep them lifted and styled.
   
• ✅ Keep applying your nourishing aftercare oil or serum to prevent dryness.
   
• ✅ Avoid over-tweezing or waxing between appointments.
   
• ✅ Rebook every 4–6 weeks to maintain results without overprocessing.
   

• Lamination softens the brow hairs — they can become dry if not moisturized.
   
• If irritation, redness, or flaking occurs, stop using all products and contact us.
   
• Results last about 4–6 weeks depending on your hair growth cycle and aftercare routine. 

Proper preparation is essential for pigment retention, healing, and optimal results. Please follow these guidelines carefully:

✅ 7–14 DAYS BEFORE

* ❌ No Retinol/Retinoids (Tretinoin, Retin-A, Differin, etc.)
These thin the skin and can cause excessive bleeding or pigment fading.

* ❌ No chemical peels, laser, glycolic acids, or facials
Avoid any anti-aging or resurfacing treatments on or near the brow area.

* ❌ No Botox, dermal fillers, or facial injections
Avoid for 4 weeks before and 2 weeks after your appointment.

* ❌ No waxing, tweezing, tinting, electrolysis, or threading
Do not touch the brow area for at least 7 days prior.

* ❌ No tanning or sunburns on the face.

* ❌ No exfoliation within 48 hours of your appointment.

✅ 3–5 DAYS BEFORE

* ✅ Wash your hair before the procedure — you will need to avoid wetting the brows after.

* ✅ Start hydrating — drink water and moisturize skin (but not the brow area directly).

* ❌ Stop taking supplements that thin the blood, such as:

    * Fish Oil

    * Vitamin E

    * Niacin

    * Ginkgo Biloba

✅ 24–48 HOURS BEFORE

* ❌ No alcohol (causes blood thinning and excessive bleeding).

* ❌ No caffeine (can increase sensitivity and bleeding).

* ❌ No exercise (raises body temp and heart rate).

* ❌ No ibuprofen, aspirin, Advil, or other blood thinners
Only Tylenol is permitted if you need pain relief.

* ❌ Avoid scheduling during your menstrual cycle, as sensitivity is heightened.

📸 Come Prepared

* ✅ Bring photo references of brows you love.

* ✅ Be ready to discuss your brow goals in detail.

* ✅ Come with a clean face, free of makeup and skincare on the brow area.

* ✅ Ensure you're well-rested and have eaten a light meal before your appointment.

💆‍♀️ AFTERCARE INSTRUCTIONS

Proper aftercare is critical for your healing process and results.

✅ Immediately After Your Appointment

* Redness and swelling are normal.

* Your brows will appear darker and more defined for the first 3–7 days.

* A light scabbing or flaking phase will occur — do not pick or scratch.

🧼 Day 1–7: Brow Care Routine

* Gently blot the brow area with a clean, slightly damp tissue or cotton round every 30 minutes for the first  couple hours, blot dry.  

* Cleanse brows once daily using a gentle, fragrance-free cleanser (if instructed, Cetaphyl works great)

* Apply a thin layer of the recommended healing ointment if provided (only as advised).

💡 Long-Term Aftercare Tips

* Once healed, always apply SPF to your brows to prevent fading.

* Healing varies by skin type — please follow the healing timeline provided.

📍 IMPORTANT NOTES

* Failure to follow pre- and post-care instructions may result in pigment loss or poor retention.

* Your brows may heal unevenly after the first session. This is normal. A touch-up is scheduled for final detailing.

* Notify your artist if you experience any signs of infection: pus, excessive redness, or prolonged swelling.

Lip Blushing is a semi-permanent cosmetic tattoo that enhances the natural shape and color of your lips. To ensure the best results, proper preparation and aftercare are essential.

Your lips need to be soft, hydrated, and healthy prior to your appointment to ensure smooth healing and maximum pigment retention.

• ✅ Drink plenty of water and avoid dry, chapped lips.
   
• ✅ Gently exfoliate lips 1–2 days before the appointment using a soft toothbrush or lip scrub.
   
• ✅ Begin taking your prescribed antiviral medication (like Valtrex or Acyclovir) if you're prone to cold sores.
  → Start 5–7 days before and continue 5–7 days after your appointment.
   

One week before:

Healing time varies, but most clients fully heal within 7–10 days, with color softening and settling in over 4–6 weeks.

• Lips may be swollen, tender, and vibrant in color — this is normal.
   
• Apply the provided aftercare ointment as directed.
   
• Keep lips clean, dry, and moisturized.
   
• Use a straw for drinks and blot food contact with a napkin.
   

• Lips will begin to flake or peel — do not pick or peel the skin.
   
• Color may appear lighter, patchy, or “disappear” temporarily during healing.
   
• Continue applying your aftercare ointment several times daily to keep lips soft and protected.
   

• ❌ No makeup, lipstick, lip gloss, or tinted balms.
   
• ❌ No spicy, acidic, or salty foods that may irritate.

• Use SPF on your lips to protect pigment from fading due to sun exposure.
   
• Stay hydrated and moisturize lips daily to maintain softness and pigment.
   

If you are prone to cold sores or herpes simplex virus (HSV-1):

• This procedure can trigger an outbreak, which can severely affect healing.
