We’re thrilled you’ve chosen us for your beauty and skincare needs. Whether you're coming in for lashes, a smooth wax, or a rejuvenating facial, we want to ensure you have the best possible experience. Here’s a guide to help you prepare for your upcoming appointments.

Lash Appointment Preparation
Eyelash extensions can transform your look, adding volume and length for a stunning appearance. To get the most out of your lash appointment, follow these steps:

1. Clean Lashes: Arrive with clean, makeup-free lashes. Avoid using mascara or any oil-based products for at least 24 hours prior to your appointment.

2. Avoid Caffeine: Limit your intake of caffeine on the day of your appointment. It can make you jittery and your eyes more sensitive.

3. Comfortable Clothing: Wear comfortable clothing as you'll be lying down for an extended period. Consider bringing a sweater or blanket if you tend to get cold easily.

4. Allergy Check: If you have sensitive skin or eyes, inform your esthetician beforehand to perform a patch test.

Wax Appointment Preparation
Waxing provides a smooth, long-lasting result by removing hair from the root. To ensure the best experience and results, follow these tips:

1. Exfoliate: Gently exfoliate the area to be waxed 24-48 hours before your appointment to remove dead skin cells and prevent ingrown hairs.

2. Clean Skin: Ensure the area is clean and free from lotions, oils, or creams.

3. Hair Length: Hair should be at least 1/4 inch long (about the length of a grain of rice) for effective waxing.

4. Pain Management: If you’re concerned about pain, consider taking an over-the-counter pain reliever about 30 minutes before your appointment. Avoid alcohol and caffeine as they can make your skin more sensitive.

5. Clothing: Wear loose-fitting clothing to your appointment to avoid irritation after waxing.

Facial Appointment Preparation
Facials are a fantastic way to rejuvenate your skin and address specific skincare concerns. To prepare for your facial, keep these tips in mind:

1. Avoid Exfoliation: Stop using any exfoliating products or treatments at least 48 hours before your appointment to prevent skin irritation.

2. No Makeup: Arrive with a clean, makeup-free face. This allows your esthetician to thoroughly assess your skin and apply treatments without any barriers.

3. Hydrate: Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your facial. Hydrated skin responds better to treatments.

4. Communicate: Be prepared to discuss your skincare routine, any products you’re currently using, and any concerns or goals you have for your skin.

5. Sun Protection: Avoid excessive sun exposure and tanning beds before your facial to prevent skin sensitivity.
