Aftercare

I'll do my very best to ensure you leave your treatment with results that last, however, it’s important that you do your best to follow aftercare in-between treatments too. Following your treatment, you'll receive an email with my top tips for aftercare and you can find this guidance below. Please read and follow this as I can't guarantee longevity when aftercare hasn’t been followed.

Nails

Within 24 hours of a nail treatment:

• avoid exposure to heat (eg sunbeds, saunas, hot tubs, etc)

Aftercare following a nail treatment:

• avoid leaving your nails in water for long periods of time
  
• avoid picking, peeling and biting your nails
• avoid using your nails like tools - they are not indestructible
• do apply cuticle oil regularly - this is so important for longevity
  
• do wear gloves when cleaning & washing up, as well as when applying fake tan, tinted lotions & hair dye
  
• do wash your hands after using sun cream, insect repellents, etc.
  

For the best care the gel should be removed professionally. If you'd like to remove it yourself, let me know and I'll send you instructions.

Lashes & Brows

Within 24 hours of a lash or brow treatment:

• do not apply mascara/eye make-up
  
• do not receive any other eye treatments
  
• avoid getting your eye area wet and avoid swimming
  
• avoid exposure to heat (eg sunbeds, saunas, hot tubs)
