Complete Aftercare Guide: Brow & Lash Treatments

Proper aftercare is the secret to making your brow and lash treatments last longer and look their best. Whether you've just had a brow lamination, lash extensions, lash lift, threading or waxing, or a fresh tint, following the right routine in the days after your appointment protects your results and keeps your skin and hair healthy. Here's everything you need to know to care for each treatment.

After Care: Brow Lamination

  • Keep brows dry for 24 hours after treatment (no water, steam, or sweat).
  • Avoid touching, rubbing, or sleeping on your brows during the first day.
  • Do not apply makeup, oils, or creams to the brow area for 24 hours.
  • Avoid tanning beds, saunas, and hot showers for 24–48 hours.
  • Use a brow conditioner or nourishing oil daily to keep brows healthy.
  • Brush brows gently into place each morning to maintain shape.
  • Book a maintenance appointment every 6–8 weeks for best results.

After Care: Lash Extensions

  • Avoid getting lashes wet for the first 24 hours after your appointment.
  • Do not use oil-based cleansers, creams, or makeup removers near your lashes.
  • Gently cleanse lashes daily with a lash-safe cleanser to remove buildup.
  • Avoid rubbing, pulling, or sleeping directly on your lashes.
  • Skip mascara and eyelash curlers, as they can damage extensions.
  • Avoid steam, saunas, and heavy sweating for 24–48 hours after your appointment.
  • Schedule regular fills every 2–3 weeks to maintain fullness and lash health.

After Care: Lash Lift

  • Avoid mascara, lash serums, and makeup on the lashes for 24 hours.
  • Do not rub, pull, or sleep directly on your lashes.
  • Stay away from heat, steam, and saunas for 24–48 hours.
  • Use a lash-safe conditioner or nourishing serum to keep lashes healthy.
  • Avoid waterproof mascara to prevent weakening the lift.

After Care: Thread or Wax

  • Avoid touching, rubbing, or scratching the treated area.
  • Keep the area clean and avoid makeup for at least 12–24 hours.
  • Stay out of direct sun, tanning beds, saunas, or steam rooms for 24 hours.
  • Avoid heavy sweating or working out for the first day.
  • Do not use exfoliants, retinol, or harsh skincare products around brows for 48 hours.
  • Apply a gentle, soothing product (like aloe vera or witch hazel) if redness occurs.
  • Book maintenance sessions every 3–4 weeks to keep brows shaped.

After Care: Lash or Brow Tint

  • Keep the treated area dry for 24 hours (no water, steam, or sweat).
  • Avoid rubbing or touching lashes/brows immediately after treatment.
  • Do not use oil-based products or makeup removers near the tinted area.
  • Skip saunas, hot showers, and swimming for the first 24–48 hours.
  • Avoid mascara or brow gels for the first day.
  • Gently cleanse the area with a mild, non-oily cleanser after the first 24 hours.
  • Schedule touch-ups every 4–6 weeks to maintain color and definition.
