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.
