Before & Aftercare Advice For the Best Results and Long-Lasting Beauty Manicure Before Your Appointment: Please arrive with clean hands and remove any old polish if possible. Avoid applying hand cream or oils just before your appointment. Let us know of any allergies, sensitivities, or broken skin. After Your Appointment: Apply cuticle oil daily to maintain hydration. Wear gloves when doing household chores or using cleaning products. Moisturise hands regularly for soft, healthy skin. Avoid biting or using nails as tools to prevent damage. Gel Nails Before Your Appointment: Come with bare nails if possible or let us know if removal is needed. Avoid filing or cutting nails beforehand so we can shape them professionally. Notify us if you’ve experienced lifting, sensitivity, or breakage. After Your Appointment: Moisturise daily and apply cuticle oil to keep nails nourished. Avoid picking, peeling, or forcing gel off—return for professional removal. Be mindful of hot baths or saunas in the first 24 hours. Book regular maintenance every 2–3 weeks for best results. Builder Gel Before Your Appointment: Avoid removing old product at home—this can damage your natural nails. Let us know of any past lifting, sensitivity, or concerns. Come with clean, unpolished nails if possible. After Your Appointment: Builder gel is strong, but care is still essential—treat nails gently. Use cuticle oil daily to promote nail health and prevent lifting. Protect your nails from harsh chemicals with gloves. Book infills every 3–4 weeks to maintain structure and durability.

Lash lift and tint

Section contentFirst 24-48 Hours (Most Important) Avoid water, steam, sweat, and moisture (no swimming, saunas, or hot showers directly on your face). No eye makeup, creams, or oils on or near your lashes. Don’t rub or touch your lashes. Sleep on your back if possible to avoid pressure or bending the lashes. Ongoing Care (After 48 Hours) Use a lash conditioner or nourishing oil (like castor oil) to keep lashes healthy. Brush them daily with a clean spoolie to keep them separated and lifted. Avoid waterproof mascara—it’s hard to remove and can weaken the lift. Be gentle when cleansing your face, especially around the eye area. No lash curlers! Your lashes are already curled—curlers can damage them.
