Do
Keep them dry for 24 hours
This lets the adhesive fully cure, securing each extension to your natural lash. If your artist finishes with a bonder, you may be able to skip this step.
The Care Guide
Aftercare
Lash extensions are a luxury, and they love a little care. Everything you need to keep your lashes, lifts, and brows living their best life lives right here.
Lash Extensions
Keep them living their best life.
A few simple habits make the difference between a set that fades fast and one that stays full and fluffy until your next fill.
Do
Wash your lashes daily
Cleanse at least once a day. If you wear makeup or produce excess oil, double cleanse (the first pass loosens makeup and oil, the second washes it away) to keep lashes free of buildup.
Avoid
Excessive heat
Heat from an open oven, grill, blow dryer, or straightener can singe your lashes. Steam from saunas, hot tubs, or the dishwasher can loosen the curl, leaving extensions looking flat.
Avoid
Picking or pulling
Picking can damage your natural lashes and the follicle, causing poor retention and lash loss. Try not to sleep on your face; a silk pillowcase or eye mask protects your lashes overnight.
Avoid
Oil, the enemy
Natural oils build up over time and break down adhesive. Always use oil-free face care, skip waterproof makeup, and wash your lashes daily to prevent buildup.
Avoid
Mascara
Mascara clumps extensions together, is hard to remove, and its ingredients can compromise the adhesive, causing premature loss. Prefer lash-safe makeup like our vivid black liquid eyeliner, and try bottom-lash tinting instead of mascara.
Avoid
Harsh grooming tools
Be cautious with eyelash curlers, blow dryers, and curling irons near your face. You can still style your hair, just use cooler settings and keep the heat away from your lashes.
Cleansing
Cleanse like you mean it.
Daily cleansing is the single biggest secret to long-lasting lashes. Our collagen lash shampoo gently lifts away makeup, oil, and buildup without compromising your extensions.
Double cleanse for best results (once to loosen, once to wash clean) then let your lashes air dry and fluff with a clean spoolie.
Lifts & Brows
Lash lifts & brow laminations.
Perming is not just for hair. We use gentle perming solutions to shape the perfect lashes and brows, quick results that last the life cycle of the hair, with minimal maintenance. A few things to keep in mind:
First 24 to 48 Hours
- Keep the area dry; water can cause the perm to drop.
- Avoid steam, saunas, and excessive heat, which can also cause it to fall out.
After 48 Hours
- Resume life as normal; mascara, lotions, and everything else are all fine again.
Maintenance
- Most clients repeat the service every 4 to 6 weeks; some go longer. Your result lasts until the treated hairs naturally shed.
Permanent Makeup
Powder, ombré & lip blush.
Permanent makeup deposits pigment just beneath the skin, whether you are wearing powder, ombré, combo, or nano brows, or a fresh lip blush. How you heal determines how true the color settles. A few things to keep in mind:
First 24 Hours
- Gently blot the area with a clean tissue to absorb lymph fluid as directed by your artist.
- Keep the area clean and dry otherwise.
- Skip makeup on the treated area until it has fully healed.
Days 1 to 7
- Follow your artist's cleansing and ointment routine exactly as instructed.
- Keep the area dry otherwise; no swimming, saunas, steam, or heavy sweating.
- Sleep on your back when you can to avoid rubbing the area overnight.
Do Not Pick or Peel
- Flaking and light scabbing are a normal part of healing.
- Picking or peeling pulls out pigment before it has settled and can scar, leaving patchy healed results.
Weeks 2 to 4
- Color looks dark at first, then lightens and can look patchy before it settles.
- Your true result shows around 4 to 6 weeks, once healing is complete.
Sun & Skincare
- Sun and tanning fade and distort pigment, so protect the area with SPF once healed.
- Keep retinol, AHAs, BHAs, vitamin C, and other exfoliants off the treated area.
Your Touch-Up
- A perfecting touch-up is typically scheduled 6 to 8 weeks after your initial appointment.
- Longevity varies with skin type, sun exposure, and how closely you follow aftercare.
Tattoos
Fresh ink, healed right.
A tattoo is an open wound for the first couple of weeks, and how you treat it decides how the lines and color settle. Custom tattoo work is offered at our Seminole studio. A few things to keep in mind:
First 24 Hours
- Leave the wrap on for as long as your artist advised, then wash gently with lukewarm water and a fragrance-free soap.
- Pat dry with a clean paper towel and let the tattoo breathe. No re-wrapping unless your artist told you to.
Days 1 to 14
- Wash twice a day and apply a thin layer of unscented moisturizer or the ointment your artist recommended.
- Peeling and itching are normal. Do not scratch, pick, or soak: no baths, pools, hot tubs, or ocean until it is fully healed.
Sun, Sweat & Clothing
- Keep it out of direct sun and away from tight or dirty clothing while it heals.
- Skip heavy workouts and sweating for the first few days.
After It Heals
- Sunscreen keeps the ink crisp for years.
- If anything looks off or you want a touch-up, call the Seminole studio. Touch-ups are booked separately.
