Permanent Makeup After Care
First hour
Pat dry with a clean paper towel or tissue if they start to ooze or leak.
Morning & Night
Use a gentle antibacterial soap to cleanse your brows morning & night. Then tone ( witch hazel or rose water toner NO ALCOHOL) and set with a thin layer of the balm given or Aquaphore. Anytime they feel itchy, irritated, or tight apply more balm. Keep repeating these steps until brows are no longer tender and scabbing. Usually a duration of 10-14 days. If healing is taking longer be patient and keep repeating the healing steps.
Your brows will go through several healing phases because it’s an open wound. The scabbing is normal DO NOT pick the scabs off because it’ll take the pigment with it and/or cause possible scarring!
Things to Avoid While the Brows Heal
Avoid direct sunlight and tanning beds for 2 weeks. Avoid steam, hot tubs, pools, and the ocean. Avoid having the shower head directly hit the brows during a shower. Avoid putting makeup, oils, and lotions/creams near the brows for 5 days after procedure. Avoid facials, brow/lash lift or tint, exfoliants, electrolysis, and Chemical peels 7 days after procedure. **DO NOT use any acids like AHA/BHAs , glycolic, salicylic, or lactic.** Avoid sweating and intense workouts for the first 5 days.If you do sweat gently cleanse with antibacterial soap and water, pat dry, and put the healing balm on.

Lash Lift Pre Care & After Care
If you wear contacts please wear your glasses the day of your service. Your eyes must be free of any infections. If you have seasonal allergies and it affects your eyes, consult with your doctor about taking a Benadryl/ allergy medicine prior to your appointment. Your eyes must be free of any wounds and irritations. You can not be pregnant and make sure you’re not allergic to any dyes, henna, or tinting solutions.
You want to use a lash oil or serum 48 hours after treatment . After 48 hours start using the oil/serum 2-3x a week. This is important because the more hydrated the hair the better the results and keeps the lashes from getting dried out. Book a Lash Lift every 9-10 weeks to avoid any over processing of the hairs. Avoid wetting the lashes for 24 hours. If you’re a swimmer wait 36-48 hours before getting into a chlorine pool. If wanting to wear mascara, avoiding waterproof is best because its difficult to remove.
If just tinting just wait 24 hours for the tint to really take before applying water, steam, or makeup. Other than that there is no after care instructions. But keep in mind oil will fade tint faster.

Brow Lamination/Tint Pre Care
Brow Lamination works best for long, corse, unruly/curly, and thick brow hair. If you have very little to no hair this may not be for you.
For the best results please grow out your brows and do not maintain them much for at least 3-4 weeks.
Things you should avoid before a brow lamination

No retinol/retin-A skincare products used 7 days prior.

Avoid glycolic stronger than 2% used in the brow area 48 hours before.
Avoid deep exfoliation for 24 hours on the brow area.
Avoid facials of any kind 48 hours prior.
Can not be pregnant
Brow Lamination/Tint After Care
Avoid wetting the brows for 24 hours if you have normal to dry skin. If you have oily skin wait 48-72 hours for the lamination and/or tint to really take. If you’re a swimmer wait 36-48 hours before getting into a chlorine pool. You want to use a brow oil or serum 72 hours after treatment . After 72 hours start using the oil/serum 1-2x a week. This is important because the more hydrated the hair the better the results and keeps the brows from getting dried out. Book a lamination every 8-10 weeks to avoid any over processing of the hairs.
Brow Tint is a temporary dye that stains the skin and brow hairs. This service is great for sparse brows or those that want a more filled in look. The tint lasts 7 to 10 days on the skin and up to 6 weeks on the hair. Results vary person to person depending on skin type, skincare, and lifestyle. Those with more oily skin will fade faster than normal/dry skin types.
Vajacial Pre Care
Things you should do before a vajacial.
fresh wax of up to 7 days.
Bikini area must be free of any rashes, burns, and open wounds.
Avoid glycolic stronger than 2% used in the bikini area 48 hours before.
Avoid deep exfoliation for 24 hours on the bikini area.
Avoid bleaching agents 48 hours on the bikini area.
Safe for pregnant and nursing women.
Vajacial After Care
You want to use an ingrown bikini oil /serum every day 1-2x. This is important because the more hydrated the skin the better the results. We also want to keep avoiding anymore ingrowns and bumps so being consistent with an oil/serum will reassure that. Exfoliating the area will prevent anymore build up of dead skin, natural oils, and ingrowns as well. Wait at least 3 days after a Vajacial to exfoliate. Make sure you’re using a mineral oil free and non-comedogenic body wash as well. Sorry babes Dove isn’t the best for waxed skin because it leaves a film on the skin, which leads to build up and clogging.
Book a Vajacial every 4-8 weeks to get the most optimal results. It takes time to see a difference because everyones skin, ingrowns, and skin concerns all differ. Most noticeable changes won’t be seen until the 2nd-3rd Vajacial so staying consistent is key!

Waxing Pre Care
If your new to waxing or it’s been a while here’s what you can do to prepare for your next appointment:
Grow your hair out for at least 3-4 weeks or until the hair is as long as a 1/4 of an inch (rice grain size).
Avoid scheduling during your menstrual cycle; you can be more sensitive during this time.
Exfoliate gently 24 hours before.
Wear loose clothing. The comfier the better for after your wax. This pertains to body waxing services like bikini, underarms, and legs.
Area being waxed must be free of any irritation, rashes, and burns.
Must not be on any antibiotics for at least 10 days prior of appointment.
Must be off any oral acne medication for at least 6 months minimum.
Must stop using any topical acne medication for at least 10 days prior of appointment.
Must stop using Retinol or Retin-A skincare at least 7-10 days prior of appointment.
If pregnant and haven’t been consistent for at least 6 months, please get cleared by your doctor.
Stop using any AHA and BHA acids stronger than 2% 48 hours prior of appointment if applied to area that is on/near wanting to be waxed.
Smoke at your own risk; Marijuana can heighten sensitivity. Don’t smoke right before your appointment.
Waxing After Care
You want to use an ingrown bikini oil /serum every day 1-2x. This is important because the more hydrated the skin the better the results. We also want to keep avoiding anymore ingrowns and bumps so being consistent with an oil/serum will reassure that.
Exfoliating the area will prevent anymore build up of dead skin, natural oils, and ingrowns as well. Wait at least 3 days after a wax to exfoliate. Different exfoliations include, but not limited too: Sugar scrubs, dry brushing, and chemical exfoliants. Sugar scrubs are a mechanical way to exfoliate due to it being gritty. Dry Brushing is also a mechanical exfoliation technique because of the abrasive gentle bristles. Chemical exfoliants like glycolic or salicylic sit on the skin and gently dissolve the top dead layer. You want to exfoliate at least 3x a week. Most of my clients find doing every other day works best for them. Doing too much can harm your skin and make it irritated, so make sure you figure out your skins exfoliating routine.
You also want to start using a mineral oil free and non-comedogenic body wash as well. Sorry babes Dove isn’t the best for waxed skin because it leaves a film on the skin, which leads to build up and clogging.
Staying consistent with your waxes will lead to softer hair growth, thinner hair growth, and less hair growth. Which eventually will lead to no hair growth. Booking every 3-6 weeks ensures you’re staying on a schedule and not tempted to shave. Shaving in between can irritate your skin extremely and you’ll be starting the process from scratch. Everyones hair thickness differs. Most noticeable changes won’t be seen until the 2nd-3rd wax.
For 24 hours after…
Avoid touching the area
Do not exfoliate the area
Do not exercise or swim
No sex
Keep the area clean and dry
Avoid exposing the waxed area to sun/UV light
Avoid lotion, deodorants, makeup, and
soaps can cause irritation.
3 Days After…
The skin will begin to close over the hair follicles. Exfoliation will help the new hairs from becoming ingrowned.
Gently exfoliate the area every other day or every 2 days. Be careful not to over exfoliate and irritate your skin.
After each exfoliation, use a moisturizing ingrown oil/serum 1-2x a day.
Plan your next waxing session every 3-6 weeks .
Proper aftercare & Consistency can ensure a more comfortable follow up, as well as weaker hair.
