Do you have any pre-waxing tips?
Do not shave or wax for at least 3 to 4 weeks prior to your treatment.
For Brazilian and bikini waxes, please trim any long hair to minimize discomfort. Hair should be no more than 1/2″ or less than 1/4″ of growth.
Female clients may have heightened sensitivity during the week prior to or during menstruation.
Limit your caffeine intake the day of your waxing service. Caffeine stimulates the nervous system and increases sensitivity.
What should I not do before my wax?
Don’t use Retin-A/Renova for at least 30 days.
Don’t use Accutane for at least one year.
Don’t use peels (glycolic, AHA, etcetera) or dermabrasion on the area for at least 24 hours.
Don’t consume excessive amounts of alcohol or sunbathe for at least 48 hours.
Don’t use self-tanners, exfoliants or moisturizers the day of the service – they can cause irritations to the sensitive hair follicles that are open after waxing.
What should I do after my wax?
Minimize skin irritation by applying aloe vera or hydrocortisone cream to the treated area.
You may wash the waxed area, but refrain from using harsh cleansers or creams for 24 – 48 hours.
Stay away from hot tubs, hot showers, hot baths, sunbathing and tanning for at least 24 – 48 hours.
Prevent ingrown hairs by avoiding exfoliation for 2 – 3 days and then exfoliating the area regularly.
Avoid shaving in between waxing treatments.
Do you have any pre-eyelash extensions tips?
Arrive with no makeup, this will allow me to have the entire session to lash you. If I have to remove any of your makeup it will cut into the time that I have with you. LASH EXTENSIONS WILL NOT STICK TO DIRTY LASHES.
Do not have any caffeine you will be required to lay still.
Do not curl your lashes or wear mascara the day before and the day of your appointment.
Your eyes MUST remain closed for the duration of the service so please use the bathroom, eat, or send any text messages beforehand. I love catching up and getting to know my clients through conversation, but if your eyes flutter when you talk please consider using this time to take a nap or listen to headphones to avoid adhesive fumes being exposed to your eyes. Please let me know immediately if you are experiencing pain or discomfort during your service. Lash extensions should be pain free and you should hardly be able to feel anything at all. Don’t feel bad if you fall asleep - I want you to be as comfortable as possible and it actually makes my job a lot easier!
How long will my eyelash extensions last?
Your new lashes will last between 2 to 4 weeks depending on your skincare routine and natural lash life cycle.

How do I take care of my new lashes?
Do not go tanning for 24 hours after application.
Use an oil-free eye makeup remover. (This includes eye makeup, moisturizers, face wash, makeup remover, etc.)
Do not rub, pick or pull your eyes.
Do not use an eyelash curler.
Try to avoid exposure to heat, steam, sauna and friction.
Avoid receiving chemical treatments, such as eyelash tinting or perming.
