Your beauty journey starts here, with someone who truly cares

Come with clean lashes and no eye makeup, especially mascara and anything oily. If you wear contact lenses, switch to glasses for the day. Skip strong coffee right before, since it can make your eyes flutter. A full set takes about 2–3 hours, so plan to lie back, close your eyes and relax. Fills are shorter.

Each extension stays on until the natural lash it’s attached to sheds, usually within 4–6 weeks. Because lashes shed at different times, most clients book a fill every 2–3 weeks to keep the set looking full. That’s why we offer mini fills (5–8 days) as well as 1–2 week and 3 week fills.

Not when they’re applied correctly. Each extension is bonded to a single natural lash, and we choose a length and weight your own lashes can comfortably carry. Damage usually comes from sets that are too heavy, lashes glued together, or picking and pulling at them.

Keep them dry for the first 24 hours. After that, wash them daily with a lash-safe cleanser and brush them through. Avoid oil-based makeup removers and creams around the eyes, don’t use mascara or a lash curler, and try not to rub your eyes or sleep face-down.

Classic gives a clean, mascara-like look, volume is the fullest and fluffiest, and hybrid sits in between. If you’re not sure, book the style closest to what you like and we’ll talk it through at the start of your appointment.

Your chosen style, applied with an adhesive that sets instantly under a gentle LED light. The bond is strong right away, so it’s a good option if extensions haven’t lasted well for you before.

A lash lift usually lasts 6–8 weeks, and brow lamination around 4–6 weeks, as your natural hairs grow and are replaced. Results depend on your growth cycle and aftercare.

A lash lift curls and tints your own lashes, so there’s nothing added and no fills to keep up with. Extensions add length and fullness that your natural lashes don’t have. A lift suits you if you like your lashes and just want them to look done every day.

Keep your lashes or brows dry and avoid steam, saunas, heavy workouts and makeup on the area for the first 24–48 hours. After that, brush your brows into place each morning, and keep exfoliating acids and retinol away from them.

Most clients describe it as mild discomfort rather than pain. A numbing cream is applied before and during the procedure to keep you comfortable.

Permanent makeup usually lasts 1–3 years, depending on your skin, sun exposure and skincare. A second, perfecting session about 6–8 weeks after the first is a normal part of the process. It lets us refine the shape and colour once your skin has healed. After that, a colour refresh every year or two keeps it looking fresh.

For the first week the colour looks darker and bolder than the final result. It then flakes and can look patchy or too light for a while before it settles. Your true colour shows after about 4–6 weeks. During healing, avoid picking, sun, saunas, swimming and heavy sweating.

Powder brows are softly shaded, like brow powder, and suit most skin types including oily skin. Microblading uses fine, hand-drawn hair strokes. Nano strokes are made with a machine and give the finest, most hair-like strokes. We’ll recommend the best option for your skin and the look you want.

Yes, but talk to your doctor first. They may suggest taking an antiviral before and after your appointment, because the procedure can trigger an outbreak, and that can affect how the colour heals.

We don’t do permanent makeup during pregnancy or while breastfeeding, for anyone under 18, or within a year of taking Accutane (isotretinoin). If you take blood thinners, have diabetes, a skin condition in the area, a healing disorder or any other medical condition, please mention it when you book and check with your doctor first.
