Lash & Brow tinting

Pre-treatment Advice

  • Do not wear mascara on the day of your treatment and ensure lashes are thoroughly cleansed of mascara or other make up prior to your appointment. Do not remove mascara with an oily make up remover prior to your appointment as this will prevent the treatment from being effective
  • Please ensure a patch test is carried out 48 hours prior to your appointment. Please ensure that you undergo another patch test if:
    – You have not had one for the past six months
    – You have had COVID since your last patch test
    – You have had a vaccine since your last patch test
  • Remove contact lenses before your appointment

Aftercare advice

  • If any redness or irritation occurs apply a damp cotton wool compress. If symptoms persist for more than 24 hours seek medical advice
  • Avoid eye make up for 12 hours.
  • Avoid touching or Rubbing the eyes immediately after treatment In the first 24 hours do not steam your face, use a steam bath, swim, use the sauna or sunbed, or wash your face with hot water as this can take the colour out
  • Use oil-free products (e.g make-up remover or mascara) around the eye area to prolong the colour
  • Avoid strong sunlight or UV light (if tinted) to maintain the colour
  • To keep your lashes and brows looking dark, return to the salon after 4 weeks to top up your tint
