IMPORTANT PRE & POST INFO ABOUT YOUR BROW LAMINATION:

Brow lamination is LOW maintenance not NO maintenance. Brow lamination is a chemical process to break down your hair bond to manipulate your brow hairs into a feathery fluffed up shape. Just like we need to take care of our hair and our skin, our treated brows are no different.

Brow Lamination Pre treatment care

• Clear your schedule for the 24hrs after your appointment - your brows are going to look BIG & BOLD! Don't worry, they will settle after the 24hr mark.
• Please thoroughly exfoliate through your brows before your appointment and make sure there is no residual product in and around your brow.
• Please arrive to your appointment with clean eyebrows, free of cosmetics.
• It is recommended to wash your hair prior to your appointment. Washing your hair within 24hr after your treatment is not advised as it is imperative your brows stay dry for 24hrs.

Brow Lamination Post treatment care

• Leave your brows be for the first 24hrs. Brushing your brows in any direction other than in which they're set may cause an undesirable shape.
• Don’t get your brows wet for 24hrs. This includes saunas/sweating at the gym/swimming.
• Do not apply cosmetics directly on brows for at least 24hrs.
• Set brows when wet and style into shape
• Use a brow/lash serum daily, we recommend the Elleeplex aftercare serum. This contains keratin, collagen & vitamins to promote healthy hairs. We have this available in salon for $45
• Condition brows in the shower with standard hair conditioner & whenever you do a hair mask, don’t forget your brows.
• Brush daily with care
• Use an oil based makeup remover gently to remove makeup.

Before your treatment:

Please arrive 5 mins before your appointment time so we can ask you some questions about your skin

Please advise us prior to treatment if you:

• have any allergies or are on any skin medications
• have any medical conditions
• have had any other skin treatments in the past 2 weeks
• have had any facial waxing 48 hours prior to the treatment

We can not provide your treatment if you:

• have been sunburnt in the last 2 weeks
• have had botox or filler in the past 2 weeks
• have any skin or viral infections

AFTERCARE

• No makeup or face tanning 12 hours after treatment (if possible) for best results
• Be extra cautious in the sun, make sure to reapply sunscreen throughout the day or wear a hat if in direct sun light
• No exfoliating for 5-7 days after treatment
• Use a consistent and tailored skin care routine to maintain results of microdermabrasion
• Keep skin hydrated. Your skin will absorb more product than usual and penetrate deeper than what you're used to

If you are unsure please ask your therapist what prescribed skin care would be best for your skin to use between your facial treatments
We advise follow up treatments every 4-6 weeks depending on your skin type.

IMPORTANT PRE & POST INFO ABOUT YOUR LASH LIFT:

Lash Lift's are LOW maintenance not NO maintenance. Lifting your lashes is a chemical process to break down your hair bond to manipulate your lashes to set them into the desired curled shape. Just like we need to take care of our hair and our skin, our treated lashes are no different.

Pre Treatment
- Eyelash Extensions need to be removed at least 3 days to 1 week prior to appointment
- For best results do not use waterproof mascara or curl your lashes 5 days prior to your treatment
- No eye makeup the day of your appointment. For example, mascara, eye shadow, eyeliner etc
- Remove any eye makeup with oil free makeup remover the day prior.
- It’s recommended to wash your hair prior to your appointment because you may not wet your lashes for 24 hours after

Post Treatment
- No water and mascara on the lashes for 24 hours after the treatment.
- No steam, no heavy exercising that would cause excessive sweating, no hair washing (at home) for 48 hours after etc.
- No lash serums, lash extensions, eye creams for 24 hours.
- Use a lash serum daily to nourish & hydrate your lashes. We recommend the Elleeplex aftercare serum. This contains keratin, collagen & vitamins to promote healthy hairs. We have this available in salon for $35
- Use oil free make up remover wipes to wash your face.

Before the Procedure

It all starts with a good canvas! The eyebrow area must be healthy, strong, non-sensitive, and non-irritated. Here’s how to get your skin ready for the procedure:

• Do not pick/tweeze/wax/perform electrolysis one week prior to the procedure.
• Do not tan two weeks prior to the service, or have a sunburned face.
• Do not have any type of facial 2 weeks prior to the procedure.
• Do not work out the day of the procedure.
• Do not have botox 3-4 weeks prior to the procedure.
• Do not take Fish Oil or Vitamin E one week prior to the procedure (they are natural blood thinners).
• Do not wax or tint your eyebrows 3 days prior to the procedure.

In order to avoid excessive bleeding and poor colour deposit:

• Do not drink alcohol 24-48 hours before the procedure.
• Do not consume coffee before your procedure.
• Do not take Aspirin or Ibuprofen for pain relief (these also thin the blood) at least 48-72 hours prior to the procedure. (Tylenol or acetaminophen's okay!)
• Do wash your hair the night before or the morning of your treatment as you need to take extra care not to get your brows wet for several days.

The Day of the Procedure

• Gently blot the area with a clean tissue to absorb excess lymphatic fluids. Do this every 5 minutes for the full day until the oozing has stopped. Removing this fluid prevents hardening of the lymphatic fluids.

After the Procedure

Days 1-7

Apply a rice grain amount of aftercare ointment with a cotton bud and spread it across the treated area. Be sure not to over-apply, as this will suffocate your skin and delay healing. The ointment should be barely noticeable on the skin. NEVER put the ointment on a wet or damp tattoo.

Important Reminders:

• Use a fresh pillowcase while you sleep.
• Let any scabbing or dry skin naturally fall away. Picking can cause scarring or loss of colour.
• No facials, botox, chemical treatments or microdermabrasion for 4 weeks.
• Avoid hot, sweaty exercise for one week.
• Avoid direct sun exposure or sun tanning for 4 weeks. Wear a hat when outdoors.
• Avoid long, hot showers for the first 10 days.
• Avoid sleeping on your face for the first 10 days.
• Avoid face-down swimming, sauna’s, and hot tubs for the first 10 days.
• Avoid topical makeup and sunscreen on the area.
• DO NOT rub, pick or scratch the treated area.

Important note about showering:

Limit your showers to 5 minutes so that you do not create too much steam. Keep your face/procedure area out of the water while you wash your body.

Healing Stages
Day 1: Brows will look textured, slightly more dramatic in appearance than normal. They will be tender, slightly swollen and you may even experience some minor bleeding.
Day 2: Brows will appear quite dark, bold and thick and can look reddish in colour.
Day 3-4: The pain and tenderness will start to subside. They will still look dark and thick.
Day 5: The brows are getting itchy and a thick layer of scabbing may form and the fine hair strokes that were created may be hidden. (Do not pick the scab)
Day 5-7: This is the scary time period when the scabbing will begin to peel away from the skin.
Day 7-10: The scabs will probably have flaked off or be flaking off on their own by this point. The brows may seem way too light or even grey and missing spots.
Day 14-28: Healing is almost complete. The colour and definition of the hair strokes will return at this point. The colour will begin to even out and look more natural and brow like.

Brow Tattooing typically lasts 9-18 months depending on your skin type and your after care.

*Complimentary touch up treatments expire 10 weeks after your initial tattoo appointment.
