Please refer to the guidance below for nail treatments, LVL lash lifts, and brow lamination. Following the correct aftercare is essential to maintain results and protect the health of your nails, lashes, and brows.

WHAT SHOULD I DO?

We believe that nails are jewels, not tools.

  1. Use Cuticle Oil – Keep cuticles hydrated and nails healthy.

  2. Eat Nail-Friendly Foods – Support strong nails from the inside.

  3. Avoid Using Nails as Tools – Prevent breakage and damage.

  4. Maintenance – Keep up with regular fills, trims, and care.

  5. Wear Gloves for Household Tasks – Protect nails from harsh chemicals and water.

Lash Lift Aftercare – 6 Things to Avoid

  1. Keep lashes dry for 24 hours – avoid water, steam, saunas, swimming, and heavy exercise.

  2. Protect tinted lashes – avoid strong sunlight or UV for 24 hours; re-tint after 4 weeks if needed.

  3. Hands off – don’t rub or touch your eye area; be gentle when cleansing.

  4. Sleep carefully – avoid sleeping on your front or side so lashes set properly.

  5. No lash curlers – LVL lifts remove the need for them.

  6. Avoid oil-based products – use water-based makeup and removers only.

Brow Lamination Aftercare – What Not to Do

  1. Keep brows dry for 24 hours – avoid water immediately after treatment.

  2. Avoid heat & water – no sunbeds, saunas, steam rooms, or swimming for 48 hours.

  3. Hands off – don’t touch or rub your brows for 24 hours.

  4. Skip harsh products – no exfoliants, anti-ageing creams, or tanning products around brows for 3 days.

  5. Condition daily – apply your serum twice a day to maintain results.
