before & aftercare for eyelash extensions
how to arrive for your appointment
Arriving with eyes free of makeup means less clean up and more time for lash application! Please make sure to remove all makeup before your appointment with an oil-free makeup remover for optimal bonding. It would be best to discontinue the use of mascara a few days before your appointment. Mascara leaves a residue on your lashes that will stop the glue from bonding & cause your extensions to fall off prematurely.

aftercare for eyelash extensions
​
PLEASE AVOID-​
-
exposure to heat (steam, sauna, hot yoga)
-
friction
-
application of eye & eyelash cosmetics
-
all oil-based products
-
sleeping on your face/lashes
-
receiving chemical treatments (such as eyelash tinting or perming)
-
receiving irritating eye-area treatments (such as strong chemical peels, skin-resurfacing procedures, or laser treatments.)
Make sure to cleanse your lashes daily using an oil-free cleanser. Avoiding cleansing will cause a buildup of oils & bacteria, this can cause a breakdown of the glue & a buildup of potentially harmful bacteria.
Although the lash adhesive has cured by now, persistent exposure to moisture, steam, heat, incompatible cosmetics, & friction from rubbing or sleeping may impact the durability of the adhesive bond. Therefore excessive exposure to heat, steam, sauna, and friction should be avoided entirely.
For the best retention please avoid-
-
all products in your skincare and makeup routine that are waterproof and/or contain mineral oil & propylene glycol
(double check your eye creams, cleansers, & serums)
-
mechanical lash curlers
-

faqs for waxing
​DOES WAXING HURT?
-
Yes, but it is quick & tolerable. The first time usually feels the most intense but it gets easier with consistensy. Most clients are surprised by how fast it is compared to shaving every few days.
​
​DO I NEED TO TRIM BEFORE A WAX?
-
No, please don't. If the hair is too long, I'll trim it for you. If it's too short, waxing won't work properly.
​
​HOW LONG SHOULD MY HAIR BE?
-
About the length of a grain of rice(1/4 inch).
​
CAN I SHAVE BETWEEN WAXES?
-
​Try not to. Shaving interrupts the growth cycle and makes your next wax less effective. Stick to waxing every 3-6 weeks for best results
​
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I WAX?
-
​Every 3 to 6 weeks depending on personal preference. Consistency leads to finer, softer regrowth & less discomfort.
CAN I WAX WHILE PREGNANT?
-
Yes, many pregnant clients get waxed all the way thru their pregnancy. Your skin might be more sensitive but the service is safe. Always check with your doctor if you have concerns.
WILL WAXING MAKE MY HAIR GROW BACK THICKER?
-
No. Over time, waxing tends to produce softer, finer hair growth.
CAN I WORK OUT AFTER A WAX?
-
No. Wait at least 24 hours. Your pores will open & sweat & friction will cause irritation & bumps.
IS WAXING SAFE FOR SENSITIVE SKIN?
-
Yes, with the right professional & aftercare. Some redness & bumps are normal for 24 hours but ongoing irritation is not.
​
CAN I WAX IF I'M SUNBURNED?
-
No. Wait until your skin is fully healed.
​
WHAT IF I GET BUMPS AFTER WAXING?
-
Small bumps & redness are normal & usually go away within 24 hours. Exfoliation & hydration help prevent ingrown hairs.
​
CAN I WAX IF I'M TAKING ACNE MEDS OR RETIN-A?
-
No. Some medications make the skin too fragile for waxing. Always disclose your meds to your service provider, safety first!
​
WHAT IF I GET INGROWN HAIRS?
-
They're normal, especially for course or curly hair. Exfoliate, hydrate, & use an ingrown serum regularly. Don't pick! Consistent waxing reduces them over time.
