  • The use of growth serums on the eyebrows must be discontinued at least ONE MONTH before treatment

  • For optimal results, avoid exposing the area to direct sunlight for THIRTY DAYS before or after to prevent sunburn. Wear a hat when outdoors. Once healed use SPF daily to protect and retain color.

  • DO NOT rub, pick or scratch the area while healing. You will be provided aftercare and instructions to use during your healing process

ALL FIRST TIME SEMI-PERMANENT COSMETIC PROCEDURES ARE MULTI-SESSION PROCESSES. An initial application is incomplete until after a follow-up appointment, which must be scheduled approximately 4-6 weeks after initial appointment. WHILE YOUR SKIN HEALS, BE PREPARED FOR THE AREA TATTOOED TO BE SIGNIFICANTLY LARGER, SHARPER, BRIGHTER, OR DARKER THAN WHAT IS EXPECTED FOR THE FINAL OUTCOME. This is a normal and expected result of the application and healing process. The healing process will take a number of days to complete, depending on how quickly the outer layer of your skin exfoliates and new skin regrows to take its place.

LASH EXTENSIONS

Failure to adhere to these instructions may cause extensions to fall off prematurely and could cause damage to natural lashes:

  • Please arrive to all appointments with clean, make-up free lashes

  • During the appointment, your eyes will be closed and covered. OPENING EYES DURING THE APPOINTMENT IS DANGEROUS and can cause redness and irritation.

  • If you wear contacts, please leave them out for the appointment and for 24 HOURS after each lash appointment.

  • DO NOT use oil based products around the eye area

  • DO NOT  use mascara on the lash extensions

  • DO NOT get the eye area wet for 24 hours after each lash appointment

  • NO tinting or perming of the eyelash extensions (including lash curlers)

  • DO NOT pull or rub my eyelash extensions

  • Please use a disposable lash wand to brush your lashes DAILY

  • For the best retention, you should wash your lashes with lash bath every night to avoid makeup, dirt, and oils from sitting on the lash line.

  • To maintain eyelash extensions, you should schedule fill appointments every 2-3 weeks as recommended by your lash artist
