Pre-Sunless Tan appointment

– Do not use lotion, gel, wax, shaving cream or other oil-based products as they could leave residues on the skin and prevent the solution from developing correctly.
– Do not wear makeup, cream, sunscreen, perfume or deodorant the day of the appointment.

– The application can be done with or without undergarments or bathing suit.

Pay attention to rough areas like feet ankles, elbows, armpits, knuckles, collarbones, etc.

– Do not exfoliate the skin for the duration of the result. When the tan starts to fade, exfoliate the skin again in order to remove the old tan residues.

Microblading

This procedure operates with the use of a manual tool: a micro pen, a blade 6-12 very fine needles, and pigment. The technique performed for Microblading is carefully entering the skin with the blade to create fine strokes and depositing the pigment into place. The goal is to create a pattern in the direction of the natural growth of the eyebrow, or create a realistic pattern of choice.

Techniques include: feathered strokes, clean fine collected lines, or boldness/density.

Day One (Day of treatment)
Wait 1-2 hours and let the wounds weep lymph. After 2 hours you must wipe off the lymph with a moistened cotton pad, then apply a thin layer of the post care balm with a cotton swab. At night wash the treated area with warm water and soap provided. Wash your hands with a disinfectant soap before washing your eyebrows and/or applying the post-care cream. NOTE: Too much balm will cause the pigment to scab. The post care balm will last you through your initial treatment and touch-up so keep it safe!

Day Two to Nine
At night GENTLY wash the treated area with warm water and soap provided. Wash your hands with a disinfectant soap before washing your eyebrows and/or applying the post- care cream.

The following must be avoided during all nine days post-microblading procedure:
• Sweating – it is recommended not to sweat for the first 10 days after the procedure. Sweat is salt and can prematurely fade the treated area.
• Practicing sports
• Swimming
• Hot sauna, hot bath, or Jacuzzi
• Sun tanning or salon tanning – absolutely NO SUN, sweating, or tanning prior to the procedure or after the procedure for 2 weeks. Do not have a tan/sunburn on your face prior to your procedure. The tan will exfoliate taking color with it as it fades.
• Any laser or chemical treatments or peelings, and/or any creams containing Retin-A or Glycolic Acid on the face or neck
• Picking, peeling, or scratching of the micro-pigmented area in order to avoid scarring of the area or removal of the pigment
• Smoking
• Drinking alcohol in excess, as it may lead to slow healing of wounds
• Touching of the eyebrow area except for when rinsing and applying the post-care cream with a cotton swab.

Lash Extensions

We offer Classic, Hybrid & Volume Lash Extensions.

​Classic Lashing is a technique in which a single extension is applied to one, isolated natural lash. Classic lashes are perfect for adding length and some fullness to your natural lash line.

​The Hybrid technique is a combination of two different lash application techniques. It is a mix of classic and volume to give a more natural but dense look.

Volume lashes are a technique where you hand make a fan of two to eight extensions that are very lightweight to make a dense, dark lash line. One volume fan ends up being lighter than a classic lash so it is safe for your natural lash.

Do not get the brows wet, or around any steam/moisture for 14 days also do not sleep, itch, or touch the brows. Use a fresh pillow case. Do not rub, scrub, or pick the brows of any flaking/scabbing. This will result in uneven or -faded results. Flaking & scabbing can be normal, everyone heals differently. It’s important to leave the brows alone & use recommended ointment once per day.

Never use your finger to apply the ointment, always use a cotton swab. No facials, botox, chemical treatments, or microdermabrasion. Avoid swimming, lakes, hot tubs, saunas, and steam rooms for the next 10 days. Do not use Salicylic Acid, Benzoyl Peroxide, Scrubs, or any type of retinoid.
