Your lashes are an investment — a little care goes a long way in keeping them full, fluttery, and lasting as long as possible.

Before Your Appointment
Come with clean lashes — skip mascara, eyeliner, and oil-based eye cream, and try to lay off the caffeine beforehand too. If you wear contacts, take them out before you arrive or bring your own case. (Forgot? No worries, I keep emergency cases and solution on hand — just easier on both of us if you're one step ahead.) Coming in for a fill? Try not to pick at your existing set in the days before.

Right After Your Appointment
Here's the fun part: I use UV-cured lash adhesive, which fully cures under the lamp before you even leave the chair. That means none of the usual 24–48 hour "no water" rule you may have heard about with traditional lash glue — go ahead and wash your face, work out, or get caught in the rain the same day. The one thing that doesn't change: oil is still lash enemy #1, cure method or not. Keep oil-based cleansers, makeup removers, and moisturizers away from your lash line.

Ongoing Care
Brush daily with a clean spoolie to keep your lashes separated. A lash bath (ask me about mine!) is the best way to keep both your lashes and lash line clean — daily is ideal. Sleep on your back if you can, or treat yourself to a silk pillowcase, to keep your set from getting crushed overnight. Skip mascara — it defeats the purpose and makes removal harder later. No eyelash curlers, heated or mechanical, and no hot tools (flat irons, curling wands, blow dryers) anywhere near your lashes — heat can reshape the curl, or in the worst case, singe or burn the lashes themselves. Book your fill every 2–3 weeks to keep your set full — wait too long and you'll likely need a full new set instead of a quick fill.

When to Reach Out
Losing a few lashes here and there is totally normal — that's just your natural lash cycle at work. But if you notice excessive itching, redness, or lashes falling out in clumps, message me so we can take a look.

A lift and tint gives your natural lashes a beautiful curl and depth of color — with the right care, that fresh-lash look lasts for weeks.

Before Your Appointment
Come with clean lashes — no mascara, eyeliner, or oil-based eye cream, and skip the caffeine beforehand. This service can't be done over lash extensions, so let me know if you're currently wearing a set. Wearing contacts? Take them out before you arrive or bring your own case — I keep emergency cases and solution on hand if you're ever caught without.

First 24 Hours
Keep your lashes completely dry for the first 24 hours — no water, steam, sweat, or crying, so the lift has time to fully set. Skip mascara, oil-based makeup removers, and both heated and mechanical eyelash curlers during this window. Heat and pressure can reshape that fresh curl, and heat especially can singe or burn the lashes if it gets too close.

Ongoing Care
You'll leave your appointment with a lash serum or conditioner to take home — use it as directed to keep your lashes healthy and help the results last. Sleep on your back if you can, to avoid flattening the curl overnight. Brush gently with a spoolie if lashes look tangled. The lift typically holds 6–8 weeks, with the tint fading a little faster, usually 2–4 weeks.

When to Reach Out
A little tightness right after is normal. But if you notice unusual redness, swelling, or itching beyond mild sensitivity, message me so we can take a look.

Lamination sets your brows into a fuller, more polished shape, and the tint adds depth — a little aftercare keeps both looking sharp.

Before Your Appointment
Come with clean brows — no makeup, brow gel, or pencil. If you use retinol or other exfoliating skincare, pause it on the brow area for a couple of days beforehand, since it can increase sensitivity to the tint. First time getting tinted with me? I may ask for a patch test 24–48 hours ahead, just to be safe. Try not to tweeze right before your appointment so I have full length to work with.

First 24 Hours
Keep the brow area dry — no water, steam, sweating, or makeup for the first 24 hours. Skip oil-based cleansers and skincare on the brows during this window too.

Ongoing Care
You'll go home with a brow serum or conditioner — use it as directed to keep your brows healthy and help the results last. Brush your brows into shape daily with a spoolie while they settle into their new pattern. Hold off on picking, tweezing, or waxing the brows for at least a few days after. Lamination generally holds 4–6 weeks, with the tint fading a bit faster.

When to Reach Out
Mild redness right after tinting is normal and fades quickly. If you notice unusual redness, swelling, or itching beyond that, message me so we can take a look.

The simplest rule to remember: treat your nails like jewels, not tools. They're meant to be admired, not used to open cans, peel stickers, or scrape things — that's where most damage and breaks actually come from.

Before Your Appointment
It's fine to arrive with existing polish or product on — just book the removal add-on ahead of time so there's room in your appointment for it. Skip heavy lotion or oil on your hands right beforehand, since it can affect adhesion. Let me know if your nails have been feeling weak or damaged lately so I can plan your service accordingly.

Ongoing Care
Protect your nails from excessive water exposure — dish duty, long baths, and swimming can dry out both the nail and the surrounding skin, and for gel especially, prolonged water exposure can cause lifting. Hydrate daily with moisturizer and/or cuticle oil, especially around the cuticles — this is the single best habit for healthy-looking nails between appointments. For gel sets, give your nails a little grace right after your appointment before diving into hot water or harsh cleaning products. For press-ons, always remove by soaking — never peel — to protect your natural nail underneath. If one pops off early, don't force it back on; just let me know. Book your fill or replacement on a regular schedule to keep your set looking its best.

When to Reach Out
A little wear between fills is normal. But if you notice lifting, unusual discoloration, or any sign of infection around the nail, message me so we can take a look.

Feet carry you through your whole day — a little upkeep between visits keeps them looking (and feeling) their best.

Before Your Appointment
Wear shoes that are easy to slip off, since you'll want them off for the service anyway. Skip heavy lotion on your feet right beforehand. If you're shaving or waxing your legs, do it at least 48 hours before your appointment — or wait and do it afterward instead, since the soak and hot towels leave your skin softened and easier to shave.

Ongoing Care
Since I use gel polish exclusively, it's fully cured under the lamp before you walk out — no smudging, no waiting around for polish to dry. Protect your feet from excessive water exposure where you can, since it dries out skin and nails just like it does on hands. Hydrate with moisturizer regularly, but keep heavy lotion from sitting directly between the toes, since that can encourage fungal issues. A little gentle at-home filing for calluses is fine, but avoid aggressive callus removal, which can lead to irritation or infection. Rebook every 4–6 weeks (or whatever timeline works for your feet) to stay ahead of regrowth and wear.

When to Reach Out
If you notice any unusual redness, swelling, or signs of infection around the nail or skin, message me so we can take a look.
