Facials - Prepare

  • Please refer to our guidance on how to prepare for a facial here.

  • Please refer to our guidance on how to prepare for a Hydrafacial here.

  • Please refer to our guidance on how to prepare for a chemical peel here.

  • Please refer to our guidance on how to prepare for microneedling here.

  • To protect your results and ensure your skin has time to settle, we’re unable to offer any facial treatments within 2 weeks of anti-wrinkle injections such as Botox.

    If you've had fillers, chemical peels, or more intensive skin procedures, including microneedling, microblading, facial threads, dermaplaning, laser resurfacing or laser hair removal, we ask that you wait at least 4 weeks before booking a facial.

    This allows your skin to heal fully and ensures we can carry out your treatment safely, without compromising your results or comfort.

  • We recommend choosing our Hey Mama facial which is especially designed to be pregnancy safe for expectant or postpartum mothers, supporting the changes hormonal skin goes though.

  • We’re unable to perform facials on skin affected by an active or healing cold sore. Even gentle facial massage can irritate the area, delay healing, or cause the virus to spread—both across your skin and to our equipment. For this reason, we ask that you wait until the scab has completely shed and the skin beneath has fully healed before booking.

    To keep treatments safe for you and our team, it’s essential that you let us know in advance if you have a cold sore. If it isn’t disclosed prior to your appointment, and we’re unable to proceed with treatment on the day, the full service charge will still apply.

Facials - Aftercare

  • Please refer to our guidance on facial aftercare here.

  • Please refer to our guidance on Hydrafacial aftercare here.

Aesthetics

  • 7 days before

    • Avoid blood-thinning supplements if you safely can (and they’re not prescribed), as they can increase bruising, e.g. fish oil/omega-3, vitamin E, ginkgo, ginseng, garlic supplements, turmeric.

    • Avoid other facial injectables or intensive skin treatments in the area unless planned with us (e.g. filler, threads, peels, microneedling, laser/IPL).

    24 hours before

    • Avoid alcohol if possible (it can increase bruising for some people).

    • Avoid anti-inflammatory painkillers such as ibuprofen/aspirin unless prescribed (paracetamol is usually the safer choice if you need it). Please don’t stop any prescribed medication, just let us know what you’re taking.

    On the day

    • Arrive with clean skin where possible (minimal makeup in the treatment area).

    Try not to book your appointment immediately before a major event. Small bumps/redness can happen at injection sites for a few hours.

    After Treatment

    • Stay upright for 4 hours post-treatment

    • Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours

    • Be gentle when cleansing your face during the first 24 hours

Brows & Lashes

  • Please note that a patch test is required at least 48 hours before any tinting service and no appointment is necessary for this. All patch tests are renewed with us every 6 months. However, in some cases, we can provide you with a waiver form to sign if you do not wish to have a patch test prior to your eyebrow treatment. The waiver is not available for lash tint treatments.

  • You will need to book a complimentary 10 minute consultation and patch test at least 48 hours before. We will not be able to carry out your treatment without a patch test being done. All patch tests are renewed with us every 6 months. Our goal is to keep you safe, although reactions are rare, they can happen.

  • We do not recommend brow lamination or lash lift for those who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Pregnancy causes a change in hormones that can leave you more prone to reactions after your treatment. Regular tinting services are usually safe for during pregnancy.

Waxing

  • To make the most of your wax, it's a good idea to prepare by gently exfoliating your skin with a body scrub or mitt 48 hours before your appointment and making sure you have clean, freshly washed skin, free from moisturisers or oils.

  • You'll get the best results if you let the hair grow to about 1 cm, or the length of an eyelash, so the wax can properly adhere to the hair.

  • You will need to wear a tampon for the duration of your treatment. Do keep in mind that the area may be sensitive and you may experience more discomfort than usual.

  • Yes, you can still have a wax. However, you may experience more skin sensitivity due to the hormonal changes your body is going through. Our waxing specialists will make you as comfortable as possible during the service and we can provide pillows if required for extra support.

  • As a precaution, we recommend waiting 48 hours between waxing and tanning due to potentially increased skin sensitivity

  • It's always best to consult your doctor before you book your appointment.For prescribed creams like Retin-A or Differin, we advise that you stop use 7 days prior to your wax reservation and to not resume use until 7 days after your wax service. We will not be able to wax you if you are taking Accutane or Roaccutane. It is essential that you inform us about the medications you're taking so we can provide you with a safe waxing experience.
