LASER HAIR REMOVAL
What is the aftercare for laser hair removal?
Avoid sun exposure, hot showers, and intense workouts for 24-48 hours. Use a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer/ aloe Vera if the skin feels sensitive, and avoid picking or scratching any treated areas. We’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions tailored to your treatment.

WAXING
How should I prepare for my waxing appointment?
Allow your hair to grow to at least 1/4 inch (about the length of a grain of rice) for the best results. Avoid sun exposure, exfoliate gently 24 hours before, and don’t use lotions or oils on the day of your appointment.
How should I care for my skin after waxing?
Avoid sun exposure, saunas, hot showers, and vigorous workouts for 24-48 hours post-waxing. Wear loose clothing to prevent irritation, and use a gentle, fragrance-free lotion we highly recommend Natures Aid is our top choice on the treated area to soothe cool and heal the skin.
BROWS

Arrive with clean, makeup-free brows, and avoid applying lotions or oils to the area. Exfoliating gently before the treatment can help the henna adhere better.
What aftercare is needed for brow henna and tinting?
Avoid washing the brow area, applying makeup, or using skincare products directly on the brows for 24 hours post-treatment. Limit sun exposure and avoid using exfoliating products on the brow area to extend results.
LASH LIFT
Can I wear mascara after a lash lift and tint?
Yes, but it’s recommended to wait 24 hours after the treatment before applying mascara. Many clients find they don’t need mascara, as the lift and tint enhance their lashes naturally.
What aftercare is needed for lash lifts and tints?
Avoid getting lashes wet, using mascara, or applying eye makeup for 24 hours. Avoid oil-based products around the eyes to extend the results, and try not to rub your eyes.

Bryght Brightening System
How should I prepare for my Bryght treatment?
Ensure the treatment area is clean and free from lotions, oils, or other skincare products. Avoid waxing or shaving the area 24-48 hours before treatment to minimize sensitivity.
What aftercare is required?
Avoid sun exposure, hot showers, and saunas for 24-48 hours after the treatment. Apply sunscreen to the treated area if exposed to sunlight, and avoid shaving or waxing for a few days to allow the skin to recover fully.
Can I combine Bryght with other treatments?
Yes, the Bryght Brightening System can be combined with other treatments, such as waxing or laser hair removal, for a complete skincare regimen. It’s best to schedule brightening sessions either before or several days after other treatments to minimize irritation.
Electrolysis
How should I prepare for my electrolysis appointment?
Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin in the treatment area. Avoid sun exposure, caffeine, and moisturizers on the day of your appointment. Avoid plucking, waxing, or tweezing the hair for a few weeks before treatment, as electrolysis requires visible hair in the follicle.
What aftercare is required for electrolysis?
Avoid sun exposure, heavy makeup, and skincare products on the treated area for 24-48 hours. Use a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer if needed, and avoid picking or scratching the skin.
Can I combine electrolysis with other hair removal methods?
It’s best to avoid plucking, waxing, or tweezing between sessions, as these methods disrupt the hair follicle. Snipping the hairs down is fine, as it doesn’t affect the follicle itself. We’ll guide you on the best approach for optimal results.
Can I wear makeup after an electrolysis session?
It’s best to avoid makeup and heavy skincare products on the treated area for 24-48 hours to allow the skin to heal and reduce the risk of irritation.
INTIMATE FACIALS
Should I wax or shave before a vajacial?
It’s best to have a vajacial 7-10 days after waxing or shaving to allow the skin to settle. Avoid shaving immediately before the treatment, as this can make the skin more sensitive.
How should I prepare for my vajacial?
Arrive fresh clean skin in the bikini area. Avoid shaving, waxing, or applying any products to the area on the day of your appointment to reduce sensitivity.
What aftercare is required after a vajacial?
Avoid tight clothing, exercise, hot tubs, and saunas for 24-48 hours after the treatment. Refrain from shaving or waxing for a few days, and use a gentle moisturizer to keep the area hydrated.
