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.

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.


Eye brow wax and tint

Before Care: Avoid Retinol or AHA products: Stop using any exfoliants, retinoids, or acne treatments (like salicylic acid) on the brow area at least 3-5 days prior.

No sun or tanning beds: Avoid sun exposure or tanning 24-48 hours before your appointment to reduce sensitivity.

Clean brows: Come with clean, makeup-free brows.

No tweezing: Let your brows grow out for at least 2 weeks before waxing for best shaping.

Allergy check: If it’s your first tint, ask for a patch test 24-48 hours ahead to check for allergies.

After Care: Avoid touching: Don’t touch or rub the area for a few hours to avoid irritation or infection.

No heat or sweat: Skip saunas, hot showers, and workouts for 24 hours post-treatment.

No makeup or skincare: Avoid applying makeup or skincare (especially oil-based) to the brow area for at least 24 hours.

Stay out of the sun: Protect brows from sun exposure to preserve tint and prevent irritation.

Avoid exfoliating the area: For longer-lasting tint, don’t scrub or use exfoliants on your brows.

Moisturize: Use a gentle moisturizer or brow oil after 24 hours to keep the area hydrated.Add your aftercare info...

A patch test is done before treatments like brow tinting, lash tinting, or lash extensions to make sure you're not allergic to the products.

Why it's important: Protects your skin and eyes – the area around your eyes is very sensitive.

Checks for allergies – some products can cause itching, redness, or swelling.

Keeps you safe – even if you’ve had it done before, you could still react to something new.

It's required by salons – most places ask for a patch test 24–48 hours before treatment.

How it works: A small amount of the product is put on your skin (usually behind your ear or on your arm).

Wait 24–48 hours.

If there's no reaction, it’s safe to go ahead.

Facial Treatment – Client Before & Aftercare Instructions

To ensure you get the best results from your facial and keep your skin healthy and glowing, please follow these simple before and aftercare guidelines:

Before your facial:

Avoid exfoliation for at least 48 hours prior to your appointment to prevent over-sensitizing the skin.

Skip retinoids and active ingredients (e.g., retinol, AHA/BHA acids) for 3–5 days before your facial.

Hold off on waxing or other facial treatments for at least 5–7 days before your appointment.

Stay hydrated – drinking water helps your skin respond better to the treatment.

Arrive with clean skin, if possible, free of makeup and heavy skincare products.

Let us know if you’re pregnant, on any medications, or have allergies or skin sensitivities.

After your facial:

Avoid heavy makeup for at least 24 hours to let your skin breathe and absorb treatment benefits.

Skip exfoliation and active ingredients (like retinol, acids, or acne treatments) for 3–5 days post-facial.

Avoid direct sun exposure and always use SPF – your skin may be more sensitive to UV rays.

Do not pick or touch your face, as your pores may still be open and vulnerable to bacteria.

Avoid heat and sweating (e.g., saunas, hot yoga, intense workouts) for 24 hours after treatment.

Keep your skin hydrated by drinking plenty of water and using a gentle moisturizer daily.

Following these guidelines helps maximize the benefits of your facial and keeps your skin looking radiant and refreshed. If you have any questions or experience unusual reactions, don’t hesitate to contact us.
