Preparing for your Brow Appointment:
​
If you are considering having a Brow Tint or Lash Tint and have never done so, we recommend having a test patch 24 hours prior to your appointment to avoid any reactions.
​
Avoid using self- tanning products on your face prior to your appointment as this will alter your Brow tint colour.
​
We recommend Lightly exfoliating your brows the day before your appointment to remove any dead flaky skin to allow brow colour staining power.
​
Avoid trimming and tweezing your brows in-between your brow service as this will interfere with your brow growth cycle and shape.

POST Brow service TIPS
​
-
Use Aloe Vera or hydrocortisone as a topical application during healing process. If your skin has lifted with wax we recommend using paw paw ointment to aid with the healing process.
-
Keep the Waxed or Threaded area clean, do not use harsh cleansers, tanning products, or creams for 24-48hrs post brow service.
-
Avoid touching or using makeup for a couple of hours after waxed or threaded area to prevent bacteria clogging pores.
-
Do not exfoliate for 2-3 days post-waxing/threading and then exfoliate regularly to avoid ingrown hairs.
-
Avoid using harsh cleansers to your brows as this will prematurely reduce tint retention.
-
No peels or dermabrasion 24 hrs
-
No hot tubs, hot showers, or baths for 24-48hrs
-
Avoid chlorine for 4hrs post-waxing
