PRE CARE
It all starts with a good canvas! The procedure 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 before the procedure
• Do not tan two weeks prior or have sunburned face/skin
• Do not have any type of facial 2 weeks prior to treatment
• Do not work out the day of the procedure.
• Do not have botox 3 weeks prior
• Do not take Fish Oil or Vitamin E one week prior (natural blood thinners)
• Do not wax or tint your eyebrows 3 days before the procedure.
In order to avoid excessive bleeding and poor colour deposit:
• Do not drink alcohol 24 - 48 hours before your tattoo
• Do not consume coffee or any caffeine before your procedure
• Do not take an aspirin or ibuprofen for pain relief (this thins the blood)
POST CARE / AFTERCARE
• Use a fresh pillowcase
• Let any scabbing or dry skin naturally exfoliate 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 tanning for 4 weeks after the procedure.
• Wear a hat when outdoors.
• Avoid heavy sweating and long hot showers for the first 10 days.
• Avoid sleeping on your face for the first 10 days
• Avoid swimming, lakes, hot tubs for the first 10 days
• Avoid topical makeup including sunscreen on the area
• DO NOT rub, pick or scratch the treated area.

Remember, with the proper prep and aftercare routine you will have much better results with your tattoo procedure.
Important note about showering:
Limit your showers to 5 minutes so you do not create too much steam. Keep your face/procedure area out of the water while you wash your body, then, at the end of your shower, wash your hair. Your face, or procedure area, should only be getting wet at the very last end of the shower. Avoid excessive rinsing and hot water on the treated area.
Pre-Appointment Checklist
To ensure the best possible lash retention and a comfortable appointment, please review the following before arriving.
✓ Before Your Appointment
☐ Arrive 5 minutes early to allow time to find parking and settle in.
☐ Remove all eye makeup, including mascara, eyeliner, eyeshadow, and concealer around the eyes.
☐ Arrive with clean lashes free of makeup, oils, sunscreen, moisturizer, or residue.
☐ Do not wear contact lenses. Please wear glasses instead. If you must wear contacts, you will be asked to remove them before your appointment.
☐ Avoid using oil-based skincare or makeup removers around the eyes for 24 hours before your appointment.
☐ Avoid curling your natural lashes on the day of your appointment.
☐ If you are feeling unwell or have an eye infection, cold, flu, or pink eye, please contact us to reschedule.
☐ Inform your technician of any changes to your health, medications, pregnancy status, allergies, or recent eye procedures.
☐ Please silence your cell phone before your appointment to help you relax and allow your technician to work safely.
☐ Wear comfortable clothing, as you will be lying down with your eyes closed for up to 2–3 hours.
☐ Avoid caffeine or energy drinks for at least 2 hours before your appointment, as they can make it harder to keep your eyes still and may increase twitching.
☐ Please use the washroom before your appointment begins.
☐ If this is your first visit, complete your consultation and consent forms before arriving (if provided electronically).
For Existing Lash Clients
☐ Arrive with clean lashes.
☐ Remove all eye makeup before your appointment.
☐ Please have at least 40–50% of your lash extensions remaining to qualify for a fill. Less than this may require booking a new full set.
☐ Do not attempt to remove loose extensions yourself.
During Your Appointment
To ensure the best results:
• Keep your eyes closed throughout the appointment.
• Minimize talking and facial movements.
• Relax and enjoy your lash nap!
Lash Aftercare
• Avoid water and steam: Completely avoid water and steam for the first 24-48 hours post-application to prevent bond weakening.
• UV lashes are fully cured immediately after the appointment. No need to avoid water and steam.
• Clean your lashes every day using a lash extension cleanser or oil-free foaming cleanser.
• Use a soft lash cleansing brush to gently cleanse along the lash line.
• Rinse thoroughly with water and gently pat dry.
• Brush your lashes daily with a clean spoolie to keep them neat.
Avoid
• Pulling, rubbing, or picking at your lash extensions.
• Sleeping face-down whenever possible.
• Waterproof mascara or mechanical eyelash curlers.
• Oil-based makeup removers directly on the lash line, as they may affect retention over time and leave residue.
Maintenance
• Book a fill every 2–3 weeks to maintain a full look.
• Expect to naturally lose 2–5 lashes per eye per day as part of your normal lash growth cycle.
• If You Experience Irritation
Makeup Tips
Remove eye makeup gently every day.
Keep eyeliner and heavy creams away from the lash line.
