Pre + Post Care
What is Pre + Post Care?
Essentially, it involves giving clients specific guidelines on what to do to prepare their skin, eyelashes and/or eyebrows before a treatment and how to care for it/them afterwards to achieve the best outcome.
-
Before your facial:
Avoid shaving or waxing in the area to be treated
Avoid sun exposure
Discontinue any retinol or forms of heavy exfoliants from your skincare regimen at least 7 days prior to your appointment.
After your facial:
Avoid shaving or waxing the area for 30 days.
Avoid direct sun exposure for a week following the treatment.
Avoid sweating, hot tubs, saunas & hot showers for 48 hours following the treatment.
Avoid exfoliation for 48 hours after your treatment (unless directed otherwise)
Avoid touching your face.
Drink plenty of water.
Schedule your next facial 4 weeks out.
-
Before your spray tan:
Exfoliate no more than 24 hours prior.
Avoid applying lotions, perfumes or serums as these will act as a barrier and can result in a splotchy tan.
Remove any jewelry to prevent unwanted tan lines
Dress according to the tan lines you DO want: bikini lines, wearing the right undergarments, etc. (disposable undergarments are available if desired.)
After your spray tan:
Wear baggy clothing, avoid waist bands or skin tight clothing until final rinse.
Refrain from laying on any blankets or surfaces for 1 hour following the spray tan service.
Rinse after 4-8 hours, depending on desired depth. The longer it’s left on, the darker it will be.
Rinse with your hands and warm water ONLY. Do not use any shampoos, body soap, exfoliating cloths or shave during the initial rinse.
Exfoliate 2-3x a week following the spray tan for an even fade over time.
Moisturize daily to avoid dark patches and dry skin.
-
Before your eyebrow lamination:
Don’t shave, trim or wax your eyebrows.
Do not use retinol, or any products containing AHAs/BHAs at least 72 hours prior.
Avoid excessive sun exposure.
After your eyebrow lamination/tint:
Avoid wetting the area for 24 hours following the treatment.
Avoid sleeping on your face to prevent curling of the hair.
Don’t touch or move your eyebrows from the desired position for 24 hours.
Brush your brows frequently.
Applying brow gel will help to maintain your eyebrow lamination.
-
Before your eyelash lift:
Please remove any eye makeup: concealer, eyeshadow, mascara, leftover glue residue from strip lashes.
After your eyelash lift:
Avoid wetting the area for 24 hours following the treatment.
Avoid sleeping on your face to prevent excess curling of the hair.
Brush/spoolie your eyelashes frequently
Applying a lash health serum (ex: Grande Lash) will help to maintain your eyelash lift and overall health.
