  • 1. For the next 24hrs gently dab off with a tissue any excess lymph fluid off the brows.

    2. Starting on Day 2, lightly dab with water to clean the brows twice a day.

    3. Starting on Day 3, healing ointment can be applied 2-3x a day. Amount used should be equivalent to “half a grain of rice”. Brows should not look greasy! Use a Q-Tip when applying.

    4. Do not put anything on the brows (No makeup, sunscreen, cleansers, soap, cream, lotion, oil, Etc..) until all the scabs fall off.

    5. Do not touch, scratch, or peel your brows. Allow scabs to fall off naturally and heal properly or scarring, infection, or color loss can occur.

    6. No working out, swimming, sauna, tanning, lash appointments, hot steamy showers, sun or excessive sweat exposure, skincare beauty treatments, chemical treatments, or waxing until all scabs fall off.

    7. No Covid 19 Vaccine While Healing.

    8. Do Not let water touch your eyebrows when showering.

    9. No AHA, Glycolic acid, lactic acid, Retin A products, Aloe Vera, exfoliants, or Vitamin E while healing, as they will fade the pigmentation.

    10. Avoid sleeping on your face while healing

    Failure to follow these instructions may result in pigment loss and/or infection.

  • Day 1-5

    Brows will look very dark the first week. THIS IS NORMAL. Peeling is a sign of healing! Itching and flaking may occur. No rubbing, tapping, or picking.

    Day 5-10

    Brows will scab and flake off. Let the scabs come off on their own!

    Day 10-15

    After days of scabbing and healing, the color will start to fade away. THIS IS NORMAL. Brows are expected to lighten 30-50% during healing process.

    Day 15-30

    After the healing process, the color will come back. There might be a few areas of no color or parts darker than others. THIS IS NORMAL.

    The entire healing process will take up to 4-6 weeks depending on your skin type, lifestyle, skin regeneration, age, etc.

    Ombre Powder brows are a two-step process and can last up to 1-3 years depending on your aftercare, age, skin type and lifestyle.

    A touch up appointment should be scheduled 6-12 weeks after your initial procedure, and it is suggested to do touch ups annually to maintain color.

    Remember that Ombré Powder is LOW Maintenance not NO Maintenance. You will still have to wax or tweeze any brow hairs that grow outside your shape.

    If you pick at or peel your scabs, you’ll lose pigment and cause scarring.

    UV rays from the sun can cause the ink to fade and damage your skin and/or tattoo.

    Once completely healed, always apply a layer of sunscreen SPF 30 to SPF 50 on your eyebrows when exposed to the sun.

Body Spray Tan 

    • 24/48 hoursbefore, exfoliate your entire body with an oil-free body scrub. Luffas do NOT count as exfoliation. Use an exfoliating wash. It is not recommended to exfoliate the day of, since your skin needs to rebuild its natural oils to achieve best results

    • 2-3 days prior to your tan be sure to use lots of moisturizer. Spray tans LOVE hydrated skin. Dry skin can lead to patchy, uneven fading

    • Make sure to wax or shave 24hrs prior to your session. Shaving or waxing too close to your appointment will affect the outcome of your tan

    • The day of your tan, take a basic shower several hours before your appointment. If your skin is wet and your pores are exposed, the spray tan will not stick to your skin properly

    • Arrive with clean, product-free skin. NO makeup, lotion, deodorant, perfumes, oils, or othe beauty products the day of your spray tan!! If putting on deodorant, use it very sparingly, as a harmless green tint can appear when solution and deodorant mix

    • Wear dark, loose fitted clothing and open toes sandals.. flips-flops if possible. No yoga pants, bras(unless using for tan line), or denim. Tanning solution will wash out of most fabric, but may stain nylons, Lycra, and silk. Cotton is recommended. While your tan is developing, you do not want clothing or footwear that will rub against the skin

      ◇ Complete all other beauty services before your appt such as your hair, nails, facials, any hair removal, and massages. I should be your last beauty appointment

  • ◦Stay completely dry(including sweat & excess moisture/humidity) while spray tan is processing, before your first rinse off

    ◦Avoid skin to skin touching so it doesn’t transfer to your palms

    ◦At rinse time, take a lukewarm shower, ensure the bronzer is completely rinsed off and your water is running clear. (How long you should wait to rinse is discussed during your appointment)

    ◦Avoid any exfoliants, scrubbing, hot water, and drying soap. Only use soap in important areas! This is just a rinse!

    ◦Avoid moisture for at least 24 hours, including work outs, saunas, and pools

    ◦Wear loose fitted clothing so your tan doesn’t rub off or look uneven. I recommend sweat pants and a tshirt. Also, avoid wearing leggings.

    ◦24hrs after your rinse, begin moisturizing at least twice a day with a non-fragrant and non-alcohol heavy lotion to help extend the life of your tan. (Avoid creams with fragrances & oils). Avoid moisturizers with AHA(Alpha Hydroxy Acid) and BHA(Beta Hydroxy Acid) as these ingredients promote exfoliation

    ◦Remove any makeup with a gentle cleanser and avoid scrubbing your face

    ◦It is recommended to wait at least 24-48 hours before shaving, because this is also a form of exfoliation

    ◦The spray tan will fade gradually after (7-10) days as the layer of dead skin cells is removed

    ◦When the tan begins to fade, it’s essential to exfoliate the skin in order to remove any reside. You may use a dry brush or exfoliating mitt

    ◦The life of your tan will depend on the frequency of your workouts, showers, and your skin’s exposure to chlorine and saltwater. If you plan on swimming, apply a thick layer of sunscreen lotion, as this puts a barrier between your spray tan and the water

    ◦Healthy, hydrated skin will retain the results of your sunless tanning session longer. Results will vary by individual

  • ◇ If you are wanting to tan again, start exfoliating on days 5-6. If you are wanting the tan to last, start exfoliating on days 11-12.

    ◇ After rinsing, clients will look as if they “lost” their tans. This is only because the bronzer has been removed, a tan will fully appear after 8 hours of initial application. Rinse-off time is very important

    ◇ A spray tan does not act as protection against sunburns. Even a natural tan is simply the body’s response to injury from UV rays indicating that damage to your skin had occurred. Tans do not provide any further protection against burning and do not act as a “Base Tan”. Always apply sunscreen over your spray tan, especially if your are going to be in the sun

    ◇ The best exfoliants are oil and fragrance free. Using a washcloth with hot water and a paraben free soap is also an excellent form of exfoliation

    ◇ Each week 25% of your skin is naturally exfoliated off, causing a spray tan to wear away. Having an even surface of fresh amino acids is key to having a long-lasting spray tan

    ◇ If you booked the spa, ask them to use cream instead of oils and be sure to rinse off in the showers to remove any excess from your skin asap

    • Oil based and high fragranced products

    • Dove, Olay, Nivea, or other heavy scented soaps

    • Soaking of any type(swimming, hot tubs, long showers, and heavy sweating can lighten the tan faster) Rinse & moisturize after going into any chlorinated pools or tubs

    • Anything that may contribute to dead skin cell exfoliation will cause the tan to fade(shaving, loofahs, dry brush)

FINE LINE / TINY TATTOOS

  • ◦While showering, gently exfoliate the area that will be tattooed. Apply lotion to the area to hydrate and soften your skin.

    ◦Avoid alcohol/drugs, blood thinning medication, and heavy training at least 48hrs prior to appt.

    ◦Be sure to drink lots of water during the week.

    ◦Come to your appointment with loose clothing in the area you will be tattooed.

  • ◦Leave the saniderm wrap on for the first 3 days. On the third day, remove the wrap

    ◦Always touch tattoo with clean hands only. Clean the tattoo with unscented antibacterial soap. Dry the tattoo by lightly tapping it with a clean paper towel or clean wash cloth. Apply a small amount of lubriderm moisturizer gently. Repeat for the next 11 days (or until scabbing is done) at least 3x a day or whenever needed

    ◦Skin takes about two weeks to fully heal. During this period do not be exposed to direct sunlight, go into the pool, ocean, sauna, shower in high temperature water, sweat, or pick/scratch scabs

    ◦Even after tattoo is healed apply moisturizer and sunscreen on the tattoo everyday to help maintain quality
