Eyebrow and Eyeliner each have additional special
requirements before procedures can be preformed.
​
Please review these requirements here below:
​
Eyebrows:
-
Avoid tanning (sun, self-tanners, and tanning beds) for a minimum of 28 days before your appointment. Tanning masks your skin’s undertones. Your undertones are important to see clearly for colour selection. Failure to properly see and assess undertones can cause unwanted colour changes upon healing. There is also higher risk with tanned skin to hyper-pigment. Hyper-pigmentation is the body increasing melanin production which will create unwanted dark spots.
​
Eyeliner:
-
Remove all eyelash extensions prior to your appointment or contact us upon booking to allot extra time for removal prior to your eye service. A $25 fee will apply for eyelash extension removals.
-
Discontinue use of lash growth serums a minimum of 16 weeks prior to your appointment. Lash growth serums can cause increase capillary formation which can lead to unwanted pigment migration during or after the procedure. Plan to avoid lash growth serums until AFTER the secondary appointment healing period.
​
-
If you are currently on glaucoma medications, suffer from Sjögren's Syndrome or have had a blepharoplasty within the last 6 months you may not be a suitable candidate for eyeliner services. Please book a consultation if you have questions.
​
-
Shadow Eyeliner and occasionally Classic Eyeliner is contraindicated in eyelids with a high number of visible capillaries and/or thin eyelids.
​​
Corrective, Cover-up or "Other" Work:
​
-
Consultations are mandatory for corrective, cover-up, and other requested work prior to a procedure being booked.
