PREPARING FOR YOUR APPOINTMENT​​
EYELINER Preparation 

• Do not get the lashes tinted within 5 days of treatment.

• Do get the lashes tinted 1 week prior if this is something that concerns you, as you will be advised not to wear mascara for the week following.

• No lash extensions at the time of your appointment: Lash extensions may be applied 4 weeks after your touch-up session.

• Do not use lash-enhancing serums for at least 30 days before treatment (ideally 3 months).

• If you wear contact lenses ensure they are removed and bring your glasses.

• Avoid wearing eye makeup at the time of your appointment.

• Please call for further advice if you have experienced recent infection or irritation of the eyes.

• Have ice packs available post treatment as this can help with swelling.
   

LIPS Preparation

• If you have a history of cold sores, it is essential to see your healthcare professional at least 4 days before your appointment and request preventative treatment.

• Avoid laser hair removal on or near the area 2 weeks prior.

• Scars on the area may retain pigment differently or heal patchy but hydration is key.

• Ensure the lip area is not sun or wind burnt, chapped or too dry. Dry lips will heal patchy and are more difficult to tattoo.

• Gently exfoliate the area for up to 3 days prior, ensure the skin is well nourished. Ideally exfoliate after a hot shower when the dry skin has softened.

• If you have Angular Cheilitis (dry corners of the mouth) please advise your Artist before booking an appointment.

• If you get lip filler or Botox, please ensure this is done at least 4 weeks prior to your appointment.
   

BROWS Preparation

• Have your brows waxed/tidied a week or two before treatment if possible - do not tint unless this is a regular treatment for you.

• Do not wax or tint the brows within 3 days of treatment.

• No tinting until 4 weeks after your session, when they are fully healed.

• Gently exfoliate the area for up to 3 days prior, ensure the skin is well nourished.

• Do not use any brow-enhancing serums for at least 30 days before treatment.

• Keep an open mind about the different techniques: after a thorough consultation your artist will advise the most suitable option for your skin type and lifestyle.

• You will be advised not to wet your brows for 7 days following treatment, so we recommend washing your hair the night before.

• Come mid menstrual cycle, if possible - it can be more painful otherwise.

• If you get Botox, please ensure this is done at least 4 weeks prior to your appointment.

• Have ice packs available post treatment as this can help with swelling.
