CONTRAINDICATIONS + BEFORE YOU BOOK
Your comfort, skin health, and natural hair and lash integrity always come first.
Certain medications, skin conditions, recent procedures, or sensitivities may mean a service needs to be modified, postponed, or avoided altogether.
Please review the section that applies to your service before booking. If you’re unsure whether something you use, take, or have recently had done may affect your appointment, reach out before your visit.
LASH EXTENSIONS
Lash extensions may need to be postponed or avoided if you currently have:
An active eye infection, including conjunctivitis or a stye
Significant redness, swelling, inflammation, or irritation around the eyes
Open cuts, abrasions, burns, or active skin irritation near the treatment area
A known allergy or previous significant reaction to lash adhesive
Recent eye surgery that has not fully healed
Difficulty comfortably keeping your eyes closed for an extended period
Please contact me before booking if you have chronic watery eyes, blepharitis, significant skin sensitivity, a history of adhesive reactions, or are undergoing medical treatment that affects your skin, hair, or immune system.
A patch or sensitivity test may be recommended for new clients or anyone with a history of sensitivity. A negative patch test cannot guarantee that a future allergic reaction will not occur.
LASH LIFT + TINT
Lash lift and tint services may need to be postponed if you have:
An active eye infection or inflammation
Open or irritated skin around the eyes
Severely weakened, brittle, or overprocessed lashes
A positive patch or sensitivity test
A previous significant reaction to lash lift or tint products
Recent eye surgery that has not fully healed
Please let me know if you have very sensitive eyes, chronic watery eyes, lash loss, or a medical condition affecting your lashes.
Lash lifts are chemical services, and the condition of your natural lashes will always be assessed before proceeding.
BROW LAMINATION
Brow lamination may need to be postponed or avoided if the skin or brow hair is currently compromised.
Please do not book if you currently have:
Open wounds, cuts, burns, abrasions, or significant irritation around the brows
Active eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis, or another inflamed skin condition affecting the treatment area
An active skin or eye infection
Severely dry, brittle, damaged, or overprocessed brow hair
A positive patch or sensitivity test
A previous significant reaction to brow lamination or similar products
Recent microblading, cosmetic tattooing, or facial surgery that has not fully healed
Please contact me before booking if you:
Use prescription retinoids or strong active skincare around the brows
Use steroid or cortisone creams in the treatment area
Recently received Botox, filler, a peel, laser treatment, or another cosmetic procedure
Are undergoing chemotherapy, radiation, or another treatment affecting your skin or hair
Have alopecia, trichotillomania, or another condition affecting brow growth
Have a history of significant skin sensitivity
Brow lamination is a chemical service, so preserving the health and integrity of your natural brow hair will always take priority over the finished look
FACIAL WAXING
Facial skin can become significantly more sensitive from medications, active skincare, professional treatments, and environmental exposure.
Please do not wax if:
You are currently taking isotretinoin or have recently completed treatment and have not been cleared for waxing
The area is sunburned, actively peeling, bruised, inflamed, broken, or otherwise significantly irritated
You have open wounds, sores, or an active skin infection in the treatment area
Please contact me before your appointment if you:
Use prescription retinoids such as tretinoin, adapalene, or similar medications
Use retinol, AHAs, BHAs, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, strong acne treatments, or exfoliating products near the treatment area
Are currently taking antibiotics or medications that increase skin sensitivity
Recently had a chemical peel, microdermabrasion, dermaplaning, microneedling, laser treatment, or another resurfacing service
Recently received Botox, filler, cosmetic tattooing, or another procedure in the treatment area
Use steroid or cortisone products on the skin
Have eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, rosacea, or another active skin condition affecting the area
Are undergoing chemotherapy, radiation, or another treatment that may affect skin integrity or healing
If waxing is not appropriate that day, brow shaping may still be possible using tweezing or another method that is safer for the condition of your skin.
BODY + BRAZILIAN WAXING
Body waxing may need to be postponed if the treatment area has:
Sunburn
Open wounds, cuts, abrasions, or active skin irritation
Active infection
Significant inflammation or bruising
A recent procedure that has left the skin unusually sensitive or compromised
Please let me know if you are using prescription skincare or medications that affect skin sensitivity, healing, or bruising.
For Brazilian waxing, please also let me know about any active irritation, lesions, skin infections, or recent procedures affecting the treatment area before your appointment.
Your comfort and skin integrity are always the priority.
FACIALS + SKIN SERVICES
Certain skin treatments may need to be modified or postponed depending on the condition of your skin.
Please let me know before your appointment if you:
Are using prescription retinoids or strong active skincare
Are currently taking isotretinoin
Recently had a chemical peel, microneedling, laser treatment, dermaplaning, or another resurfacing procedure
Recently received Botox, filler, or cosmetic injections
Have active sunburn, open wounds, cold sores, or a skin infection
Are experiencing an active eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis, or rosacea flare
Are undergoing chemotherapy, radiation, or another medical treatment affecting the skin
Have known allergies or sensitivities to skincare ingredients
Your facial can often be adjusted based on what your skin needs that day. If a particular exfoliant, heat, steam, or active ingredient is not appropriate, the service will be modified rather than pushing the skin unnecessarily.
WHEN IN DOUBT, ASK
Not every condition or medication automatically means you cannot receive a service.
Sometimes we simply need to adjust the treatment, wait until the skin has healed, or choose a different technique.
If you’re unsure whether a medication, skincare product, recent treatment, allergy, or medical condition may affect your appointment, please contact me before booking.
I would always rather answer the question first than take a chance with your skin, eyes, lashes, or brows.
