Waxing Aftercare

Please read these after care notes carefully and follow our recommendations. We take great care in our salon to protect you from infection, and in addition to our normal salon hygiene routines we have applied a soothing antiseptic lotion after your treatment.

It is important to you to remember to take extra care of the waxed area, especially within the first 24 hours. When a large number of hairs have been removed the area will be vulnerable, and legs for example can easily pick up an infection if not cared for.

Avoid sunbathing, sunbed treatments, and very hot baths for 48 hours as the waxed areas will be extra sensitive to heat. Avoid friction from nylon material or tight clothing.

Avoid using perfumed body lotions or creams. We recommended that you use our soothing antiseptic after wax lotion daily for 3 or 4 days after treatment to minimise any risk. Always wash your hands before applying the lotion. If you experience permanent redness or discomfort consult your doctor

Tanning Pre & After Care Advice.

Wax or Shave at least 24 hours before Spray Tan

After Care

Continue to wear Dark Clothing or nothing if possible until you wash off the tan. Tight Clothing such as Bra, leggings, jeans, fitted tops, boots and jewellery will rub and cause patches, lines and streaking.
Do Not touch the skin until the tan is washed off as it can transfer to your hands and make them orange
Avoid Water and Exercise and apply talc to any areas prone to sweating especially in hot weather
Do Not wear Make-up, Moisturisers, perfumes or deodorants until your first shower
Do Not sit on leather or light coloured furniture without covering it first.
Do Not Shower for 2 Hours or 30 mins for Accelerated Tan, wash twice, the tan will continue to develop after washing.
Do Not use soap products with a PH Balance of 5.5 or higher, such as Dove products as it will fade your Tan
After showering, avoid Glycolic Acids or Sodium Sulphate that are in moisturisers and hair removal creams, if you need to shave do it lightly without scraping the skin
Avoid Hot Showers, baths, saunas, swimming pools as your tan will fade more quickly.
Do Not rub your skin after bathing, it’s better to pat dry or dry naturally and apply a Tan Extender
In the Sun always wear a Sun protection Factor of 15 or more.
After 3-5 days the dead skin cells will build up, you should gently exfoliate and apply a Tan Extender which will prolong the length or your tan and help your tan fade more evenly.

Eyelashes grow between 7mm and 9mm in length, growing for 30 days and resting for 60 days. After this they start to naturally fall out, and a new growth cycle begins.

Eyelash extensions are a semi-permanent solution to fuller, gorgeous, and sexier lashes. The permanence is dependent on the client following strict after-care advice at home. To keep your eyelash extensions looking fresh we recommend an Infill Appointment every 2-3 weeks, any longer and a full set will be required

Infill Appointments
