brow care

​

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. 

​

DO NOT

​

  • Sunbathe or use tanning beds up to 24 hours before

  • Workout up to 1 hour before

  • Receive Peel (Glycol AHA, BHA etc) or dermabrasion 24hrs prior

  • NOT recommend waxing if you are using the following:

  • *Please note that tweezing or threading  is available if unable to get waxing. 

  • RetinaA/Renova/Retinol is a medication for anti-aging. We require 30 days of non-use.

  • RoAccutane is used to treat acne. It belongs to a group of medicines called retinoids, like Vitamin A. We require 90 days of non-use.

  • Differen topical is used for the treatment of acne. – We require 14 days of non-use. 

  • Metro-Gel is a topical medication used for rosacea. We require 14 days of non -use

 

Other factors that may affect your waxing or threading experience:

​

  • Antibiotics- May lift skin and make it extremely red

  • Menstrual cycle

  • Allergies, lack of sleep, caffeine, alcohol

​

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
