Waxing

Keep your skin smooth, calm & glowing

Your skin may be slightly sensitive after waxing — this is completely normal. Proper aftercare will help prevent irritation, breakouts, and ingrown hairs.

🌸 FIRST 24–48 HOURS

Your pores are open and skin is more sensitive. Avoid:

  • Hot baths or showers
  • Saunas, steam rooms, or hot tubs
  • Swimming pools
  • Direct sun exposure or tanning beds
  • Heavy sweating or intense workouts
  • Tight clothing on freshly waxed areas
  • Fragranced lotions, deodorants, or perfumes
  • Makeup on waxed facial areas

Keep the area clean and cool.

🧴 SOOTHING & HYDRATION

  • Apply a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer.
  • Use aloe vera or a calming gel if redness occurs.
  • Avoid oil-heavy products for the first 24 hours.
  • Wear loose, breathable fabrics (especially after Brazilian or bikini waxing).

Redness should subside within a few hours.

🪒 INGROWN HAIR PREVENTION

Start gentle exfoliation 48 hours after your wax:

  • Use a mild exfoliating scrub 2–3 times per week
  • Or use a chemical exfoliant (like salicylic or glycolic acid) if recommended
  • Keep skin moisturized daily

Consistent exfoliation + hydration = smoother regrowth.

🚫 DO NOT

  • Scratch or pick at the area
  • Shave between waxes
  • Apply self-tanner immediately after waxing
  • Use retinol or strong active skincare on facial wax areas for 3–5 days

💋 BRAZILIAN / BIKINI WAX TIP

  • Avoid intimacy for 24 hours this will ensure you avoid friction to the area. 😉
  • Wear cotton underwear.
  • Skip tight leggings the same day if possible.

⏳ HOW LONG WILL RESULTS LAST?

Most clients stay smooth for 3–6 weeks, depending on hair growth cycles. For best results, book every 4–6 weeks consistently.

✨ PRO TIP FOR YOUR NEXT APPOINTMENT

  • Gently exfoliate 24 hours before your appointment
  • Make sure hair is about the length of a grain of rice
  • Avoid caffeine right before your wax if you’re sensitive

BIAB & Gel Nails

Thank you for choosing us for your nails! Proper aftercare will help maintain your manicure, protect your natural nails, and extend the life of your gel or BIAB application.

The First 24 Hours

Although gel and BIAB are fully cured before you leave, your nails still need care.

  • Avoid excessive heat (saunas, hot tubs, steam).
  • Avoid harsh chemicals or cleaning products without gloves.
  • Be mindful of pressure on the nails.

Daily Nail Care

Keep Nails Hydrated

  • Apply cuticle oil at least once daily (twice is ideal).
  • Massage oil into cuticles and surrounding skin.
  • Use hand cream regularly.

Hydrated nails = longer retention and healthier growth.

Protect Your Nails

  • Wear gloves when cleaning, washing dishes, or using chemicals.
  • Avoid using your nails as tools (opening cans, scraping labels, etc.).
  • Be gentle when typing or tapping on hard surfaces.

BIAB (Builder in a Bottle) Specific Care

  • BIAB adds strength, but your natural nails are still underneath.
  • Avoid picking or peeling the product.
  • If lifting occurs, do not pull it off — book a repair appointment.
  • Regular infills every 2–3 weeks are recommended.

Gel Polish Specific Care

  • Avoid picking or peeling polish.
  • Do not file the surface at home.
  • Book removal professionally to prevent damage.

Maintenance Schedule

  • Gel Polish: Reapply or remove every 2–3 weeks.
  • BIAB Infills: Every 2–3 weeks.
  • Full Removal: Always done professionally.

What to Avoid

  • ❌ Picking or peeling product
  • ❌ Biting nails
  • ❌ Excessive exposure to acetone
  • ❌ DIY removal

Improper removal is the main cause of nail damage.

Important

If you notice lifting, cracking, or discomfort, please contact us as soon as possible to prevent further damage.

Thank you for choosing us! Consistent aftercare keeps your nails strong, healthy, and looking beautiful between appointments.

Spray tan

Get the most out of your glow!

Your spray tan develops over the next 1-4 hours. Proper aftercare is the key to a flawless, long-lasting result.

🕒 BEFORE YOUR FIRST RINSE

  • Avoid water, sweating, or tight clothing while your tan develops.
  • Wear loose, dark clothing.
  • Do not apply lotion, deodorant, or perfume.
  • If you get wet, gently pat dry — do NOT rub.

🚿 YOUR FIRST RINSE (1-4 Hours After Appointment)

  • Rinse with lukewarm water only.
  • No soap, body wash, or shaving.
  • You’ll see bronzer rinsing off — this is normal!
  • Rinse until the water runs clear.
  • Pat dry gently with a towel.
  • Your tan will continue to deepen for 24 hours.

🧴 DAILY CARE (TO EXTEND YOUR TAN)

  • Moisturize morning & night with an oil-free lotion.
  • Use gentle, sulfate-free body wash.
  • Take quick, lukewarm showers.
  • Pat dry — avoid rubbing.
  • Wear loose clothing when possible.

🚫 AVOID THE FOLLOWING

  • Long baths, hot tubs, or swimming pools
  • Heavy sweating for the first 24 hours
  • Exfoliating, scrubs, or loofahs
  • Shaving too frequently
  • Products containing retinol or alpha hydroxy acids
  • Oil-based products (they break down your tan faster)

🪒 SHAVING TIP

Wait at least 24 hours before shaving. Use a clean razor and light pressure.

💧 KEEP YOUR TAN EVEN

If your skin feels dry, your tan will fade unevenly. Hydration is everything — inside and out!

⏳ HOW LONG WILL MY TAN LAST?

With proper care, your spray tan should last 7–10 days. For best results, book your next appointment 8–12 days after your current tan.

✨ PRO TIP

Before your next appointment:

  • Exfoliate 24 hours prior
  • Shave 24 hours prior
  • Avoid lotions, oils, deodorant, and makeup the day of your tan

Lash Lift and Brow Lamination

Thank you for trusting us with your lash lift and brow lamination! Proper aftercare is essential to maintain your results and protect the health of your natural hairs. Please follow the instructions below carefully.

The First 24–48 Hours (CRITICAL PERIOD)

During this time, your hairs are still setting into their new shape.

Avoid the Following:

  • ❌ Getting lashes or brows wet
  • ❌ Steam (showers, saunas, hot tubs, facials)
  • ❌ Sweating heavily
  • ❌ Makeup on lashes or brows
  • ❌ Oil-based products
  • ❌ Touching, rubbing, or sleeping face-down
  • ❌ Applying pressure to the area

Keeping the area dry ensures optimal results and longevity.

After 48 Hours

You may resume your normal routine with these guidelines:

Lash Lift Care

  • Be gentle when cleansing your face.
  • Avoid waterproof mascara.
  • Use oil-free makeup removers.
  • Do not use mechanical lash curlers.
  • Brush lashes daily with a clean spoolie.

Brow Lamination Care

  • Brush brows daily into your desired shape.
  • Apply a nourishing brow serum or conditioning oil (after 48 hours).
  • Avoid harsh exfoliants around the brow area.
  • Do not over-wash the brows.

Long-Term Care Tips

  • Use a lash and brow conditioner 3–4 times per week.
  • Avoid excessive heat exposure.
  • Schedule your next appointment every:
    • 6–8 weeks for lash lifts
    • 6–8 weeks for brow lamination

Over-processing too soon can damage the hair.

What to Expect

  • Lashes may appear slightly darker if a tint was applied.
  • Brows may feel slightly stiff at first — this will soften after the first wash.
  • Natural lash and brow shedding is normal.

Important

If you experience irritation, redness, swelling, or discomfort lasting more than 24 hours, please contact us immediately.

Thank you for choosing us! Proper aftercare helps maintain beautiful, long-lasting results.

Lash Extensions

Thank you for choosing us for your lash extensions! Proper aftercare is essential to maintain the health of your natural lashes and extend the life of your lash set. Please follow the guidelines below to keep your lashes looking full and beautiful.

The First 24 Hours (Very Important!)

  • Avoid getting your lashes wet (no showers directly on lashes, swimming, or steam).
  • Avoid saunas, hot tubs, and excessive sweating.
  • Do not touch, rub, or brush excessively.
  • Avoid makeup on or around the eyes.
  • Do not use oil-based products near your lashes.

This allows the adhesive to fully cure and bond properly.

Daily Lash Care

Clean Your Lashes

  • Gently cleanse your lashes daily with a lash extension-safe, oil-free cleanser.
  • Use a soft lash cleansing brush.
  • Rinse with lukewarm water.
  • Pat dry gently with a lint-free towel.
  • Brush lashes with a clean spoolie once dry.

Clean lashes = better retention.

Avoid Oil-Based Products

  • Do not use oil-based makeup, removers, or skincare around the eyes.
  • Oil breaks down the adhesive and causes premature shedding.

Be Gentle

  • Do not rub, pull, or pick at your extensions.
  • Never attempt to remove extensions yourself.
  • Avoid sleeping face-down.
  • Consider using a silk or satin pillowcase to reduce friction.

Makeup Tips

  • Avoid waterproof mascara.
  • If wearing eyeliner, use oil-free formulas only.
  • Avoid using mechanical lash curlers (extensions are already curled!).

Lash Fills & Maintenance

  • Schedule a refill every 2–3 weeks to maintain fullness.
  • Natural lashes shed daily, so fills are necessary.
  • Arrive to appointments with clean lashes (no makeup).

Important Reminders

  • Shedding is normal — your natural lashes grow and shed in cycles.
  • Poor aftercare can reduce retention.
  • If you experience redness, irritation, or discomfort, contact us immediately.
