Instructions

Aftercare 
Instructions

Before receiving a lash extension service, it's important to follow specific protocols to ensure the safety and success of the procedure. These protocols help protect your eye health and ensure the extensions adhere properly.

​

Patch Test:

  • If you have a history of allergies or sensitivities to lash extension adhesive, request a patch test. A patch test involves applying a small amount of adhesive to your skin to check for adverse reactions.

​

​Remove makeup:

  • On the day of your appointment, arrive with clean, makeup-free eyelashes and eyelids. Remove all traces of mascara, eyeliner, and eyeshadow using a gentle, oil-free makeup remover.

​

Shower & Wash Hair:​

  • Take a shower before your appointment, as you should avoid getting your lash extensions wet for the first 24-48 hours after application.

  • Washing your hair before the appointment will help you avoid getting water on your lashes during the initial curing period.

​

Avoid Caffeine & Alcohol

  • Try to avoid caffeine and alcohol on the day of your appointment, as they can make your eyes flutter or twitch, making it more challenging for the technician to apply the extensions accurately.

​

Relax & Keep Your Eyes Closed

  • During the procedure, relax in a comfortable position with your eyes closed.

  • Avoid fidgeting or moving your eyes too much, as this can affect the outcome.

​

Following these protocols before and during your lash extension appointment will help ensure a safe and satisfying experience. Remember to communicate openly with your technician about any concerns or preferences you have for the best possible results.

​

Proper aftercare for lash extensions is crucial to maintain their appearance, longevity, and the health of your natural lashes. Here are some essential aftercare tips to follow after receiving lash extensions:

​

​

  1. Avoid Water and Steam for 24-48 Hours:

    • Do not wet your lashes for the first 24-48 hours after getting lash extensions. This allows the adhesive to cure properly.

  2. Use Oil-Free Cleansers:

    • Use a gentle, oil-free makeup remover or lash extension cleanser to clean your lashes daily. Avoid using oil-based cleansers, as they can weaken the adhesive bond.

  3. Gently Clean Your Lashes:

    • Use a clean, soft-bristle brush or a disposable mascara wand to gently comb through your lashes daily to prevent tangling.

  4. Avoid Rubbing or Pulling:

    • Do not rub, pull, or twist your lash extensions, as this can damage both the extensions and your natural lashes.

  5. Be Cautious with Makeup:

    • Use oil-free makeup products and avoid waterproof mascara, as the removal process can weaken the adhesive.

    • If you use eyeshadow or eyeliner, choose powder-based products and apply them carefully to avoid the lash line.

  6. Sleep on Your Back:

    • Try to sleep on your back or with a silk or satin pillowcase to minimize friction and lash damage.

  7. Avoid Saunas and Steam Rooms:

    • Steer clear of saunas, steam rooms, and hot yoga for the first 48 hours, as the heat and steam can weaken the adhesive.

  8. Skip Oil-Based Products:

    • Avoid using oil-based skincare products around your eyes, as they can break down the adhesive.

  9. Don't Use an Eyelash Curler:

    • Refrain from using eyelash curlers, as they can damage the extensions and your natural lashes.

  10. Regular Lash Fills:

    • To maintain your lash extensions, schedule regular fills every 2-3 weeks, depending on your lash growth cycle and personal preference.

  11. Be Gentle During Removal:

    • When it's time to have your lash extensions removed, have it done professionally to prevent damage to your natural lashes.

  12. Be Mindful of Allergies or Irritations:

    • If you experience any signs of irritation, redness, swelling, or itching, contact your lash technician or a healthcare professional promptly.

  13. Hydrate and Nourish Your Lashes:

    • Consider using a lash serum or conditioner to promote the health of your natural lashes and help them grow.

 

Remember that proper aftercare is essential for preserving the look and integrity of your lash extensions. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to reach out to your lash technician for guidance and advice specific to your situation.

Brow
Lamination
Protocol

Before and after a brow lamination procedure, there are important steps to follow to ensure the best results and maintain the appearance and health of your eyebrows. Brow lamination is a treatment that helps shape and set your eyebrows, making them appear fuller and more defined. Here's what you should do:

Before Brow Lamination:

  1. Research and Choose a Qualified Technician:

    • Look for a licensed and experienced brow lamination technician who specializes in this procedure.

    • Read reviews and ask for recommendations if needed.

  2. Consultation:

    • Schedule a consultation with the technician to discuss your desired brow shape and style.

    • Communicate any concerns or specific requests you may have.

  3. Avoid Tweezing or Waxing:

    • Refrain from tweezing, waxing, or threading your eyebrows for at least two weeks before the procedure.

    • This allows your technician to work with as much hair as possible to achieve the desired shape.

  4. Arrive with Clean Skin:

    • Ensure your eyebrow area is clean and makeup-free before the appointment.

    • Remove any traces of makeup using a gentle, oil-free makeup remover.

  5. Skip Oily Products:

    • Avoid applying oil-based skincare products or makeup to your eyebrows in the days leading up to your appointment.

    • Oil can interfere with the lamination process.

  6. Patch Test:

    • If you have sensitive skin or a history of allergies, request a patch test before the treatment.

    • This helps ensure you won't have an adverse reaction to the lamination products.

 

After Brow Lamination:

​

  1. Avoid Getting Them Wet:

    • For the first 24-48 hours after the procedure, avoid getting your brows wet or exposing them to steam.

    • This allows the lamination solution to set properly.

  2. Skip Brow Makeup:

    • Refrain from using brow makeup, including pencils, powders, or gels, for at least 24-48 hours after the procedure.

    • Allow your brows to settle into their new shape naturally.

  3. Use Provided Aftercare Products:

    • Your technician may provide you with specific aftercare products, such as a brow serum or nourishing oil.

    • Follow their recommendations for product usage and aftercare.

  4. Brush and Maintain:

    • Use a spoolie brush to groom and style your laminated brows daily.

    • Brush them upward and outward to maintain the desired shape.

  5. Avoid Rubbing or Touching:

    • Be gentle with your brows and avoid rubbing or touching them excessively.

    • This will help maintain the lamination effect and prevent premature fading.

  6. Schedule Touch-Ups:

    • Brow lamination typically lasts 4-6 weeks.

    • Consider scheduling touch-up appointments as needed to maintain the shape and style.

  7. Avoid Sun and Chlorine:

    • Protect your laminated brows from prolonged sun exposure and chlorinated water, as these can cause the lamination to fade more quickly.

​

By following these before and aftercare guidelines, you can achieve the best results from your brow lamination procedure and enjoy defined, well-groomed eyebrows. Always consult with your technician for any specific instructions or recommendations tailored to your individual needs.
