Eyelash Extension Aftercare
1. Please no exercise, hot yoga, sauna, or anything similar within first 24 hours after your appointment.
2. Remember to clean your lashes with a foaming cleanser daily, that is oil free. If you would like to purchase the cleanser I use on clients then let me know.
3. Please do not pick or pull at your lashes as the are delicate.
4. Remember to brush through your lash extensions morning, night, and after you shower (ensuring you dry your lashes prior to brushing). I provide a spoolie after each appointment for you to use.
5. Do not put mascara on your eyelash extensions, this will prevent you from being able to get infills.
6. Avoid oil based products. Oily products will cause the lash adhesive to break down and affect your lash retention.
Eyelash Extension Infills
The recommended infill period is 2-3 weeks. If you wish to upkeep you lash extensions and have regular infill appointments then anything over the 3-4 week mark may require a full set.
The length of time since your last appointment and condition of your lashes determine the amount of infill lashes needed.
Pricing for infills will be determined when you come in for your appointment, as everyone's lash cycle is different. How you care for your extensions will also affect this.
In order to extend the longevity of your extensions, make sure you are following the after care recommendations.

Please read through the following information, to ensure you get the best possible results for your brows and follow all aftercare steps correctly.

What to expect after your Cosmetic Tattoo appointment
Your brows will be healing for at least six weeks. The first two week are the most critical healing period. Directly after your appointment your brows will be bold and dark, it is normal to experience swelling, redness and a bit of weeping. The weeping is your body‘s natural reaction. The swelling and redness will go away after 24-48 hours.
Your tattoo will eventually flake, and scab and the colour will start to look a lot lighter. Do Not Panic as this is just a result of the damage and dead skin cells being pushed out. The colour will come back after 10-14 days.
After Care Steps (Please note, steps 1-3 are for Day 1)
-
Wipe your brows firmly every 15 minutes for the first hour after your appointment with a baby wipe from your aftercare pack.
-
Once the hour has passed, for the rest of the day, you will need to wipe your brows with a baby wipe and apply Vaseline hourly. When applying Vaseline, coat the brow with a thin layer with one end of your cotton tip, then with the other end run back through to remove the excess Vaseline.
-
Before going to bed, apply a thin layer of Vaseline to ensure they stay moist and cover with glad wrap to protect your brows while you sleep (this is only necessary for the first night).
-
The following few days you will need to wipe your brows and apply Vaseline 4 times per day. E.g. morning, lunch, dinner & before bed.
-
When you feel your eyebrows starting to harden, this means the scab has started forming (approx day 2-4). Stop using your wipes at this stage as it can pull out the scab which pulls out the pigment. Only apply Vaseline four times daily for the remaining two weeks.
-
After the two-weeks period you only need to apply Vaseline every night before bed until your follow up appointment.
Please remember it takes a full six weeks for your brows to heal. Your brows may feel healed but do continue to follow all our aftercare steps.
During the first weeks - PLEASE DO NOT
-
Get your brows wet. (With water 1 week, with chlorine and salt water 2 weeks). No swimming, facial cleansers, or makeup removers on the area.
-
Do any activities that cause excessive sweating. This will push out the pigment in your tattoo.
-
Expose your brows to the sun. Wear sunglasses and hats when outdoors. Once your brows are heeled ALWAYS apply sunscreen when exposed to the sun.
-
Use any brow products. Makeup can be worn but please avoid your new tattoo. Eyebrow tinting is advised no earlier than four weeks after your appointment.
Depending on your skin type, lifestyle and how well you take care of your tattoo, the pigment can last anywhere from six to twenty-four months. After six months as the tattoo fades the colour can look different due to the tone and colour of your skin, Therefore, we recommend booking an annual colour boost to refresh the colour each year. We also recommend using Bio Oil once a week to ensure your skin does not scar and applying sunscreen on the area everyday. (Sun and salt water are your biggest concerns; wear sunscreen and apply a little Vaseline before swimming.)
