'before' and 'after' care

A patch test may be required 48 hours prior to several of our treatments performed at The Willow Room.  A patch test involves putting a small amount of the mixed dye / lash glue / solution / wax onto the skin, either on the inside of your elbow or behind the ear. This is to ensure that you are not allergic to any of the ingredients used in our products.  If you have had a patch test at another salon you will still need a repeat test, as different brands may cause a different reaction.  Please call to arrange a patch test otherwise unfortunately we will not be able to perform your treatment.

 

After your treatment, it's so important to make sure you follow the correct aftercare advice to achieve longevity from your treatment, and also to ensure that you don't encounter any post-treatment issues.  Always ask your therapist if you have any questions or concerns.

​

You will need a patch test of both the tint and the neutraliser at least 48 hours before having an eyelash or eyebrow tint.

​

After your tinting treatment:

  • Avoid touching the area treated.

  • Avoid oil based make up products for 24-48 hours.

  • Try to keep your eyelashes dry for at least 24 hours.

  • Avoid heat treatments for at least 24 hours.

  • Avoid using contact lenses for the rest of the day.

  • Avoid sunbathing and swimming for at least 24 hours.

  • Do not receive any other eye treatments for at least 24 hours after this treatment.

  • Avoid strong UV light as this can cause the tint to fade quicker.

  • Avoid rubbing or playing with your eyelashes.

  • Avoid perfumed products for 24hrs.

  • Avoid touching / rubbing the area after application.

  • Keep your eyelashes dry for at least 48 hours.

  • Avoid all oil based make up products around or on the eyes.

  • Avoid rubbing, playing with or picking the lashes.

Eyelash extensions

You will need a patch test of the wax that will be used at least 48 hours before your treatment.

​

After your waxing treatment:

  • Avoid bathing or hot showers for 24 hours.

  • Avoid direct sunlight or sunbathing (or artificial tanning) for 24-48 hours.

  • Avoid swimming, saunas or steam baths for 24-48 hours.

  • Don’t wear tight or non-breathing clothes to avoid infection - waxed skin needs air.

  • Avoid perfumed, oil-based or tanning products on the waxed skin for 24 hours.

  • Avoid touching the waxed skin - empty follicles are easily infected by bacteria and need some time to settle.

  • Avoid products with Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA) which may irritate waxed skin for 24-48 hours.

  • Exfoliate gently after third day of your waxing to keep your skin smooth and prevent hairs from growing in.

  • Avoid waxing just before your period when your skin may be more sensitive.

  • Don’t shave between waxes -  this will affect the hair growth cycle.

  • Protect your body from direct sunlight using a good sun cream.
