AFTERCARE
You will be provided with an aftercare kit containing post-care products and a detailed instruction card.

​
Patience is required when achieving your dream brows as it takes 4-6 weeks to see true results.
Remember, cosmetic tattoo is a skin dependant procedure. Everyone's skin heals differently and will vary in times of recovery; it is important to keep this in mind when considering brow tattoo.
PREPARING FOR YOUR BROW LAMINATION
Please note this service is not suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding clients.
-
Pause use of active skincare ingredients leading up to your appointment
i.e. retinols, AHA/BHA's
-
Lightly exfoliating the brow area, 1-2 day before your appointment will allow for better retention, especially if combining with hybrid dye.
-
Ideal to arrive to your appointment with no makeup on or around the brows.
​
​
AFTERCARE
-
Avoid wetting brows for 24 hours - This allows the nourishment product to completely absorb.
-
Avoid touching, moving or sleeping on brow hairs for 24 hours - to avoid creating unwanted kinks.
-
Avoid applying makeup for 24 hours - once again, this allows the nourishment product to absorb properly.
​
This is important as the brow hairs need to set without disruption.
​
After 24 hours, brush hairs back into place once they've been wet using the brush provided. Feel free to continue to style daily with a brow gel.
After 3-4 days, use a small amount of your aftercare product daily to ensure your beautiful brows stay lush, healthy and nourished.
Brow Lamination is a LOW-maintenance not NO-maintenance treatment.
​
Although Blush & Brow Beauty treatments will always prioritise nourishment and health, brow lamination is still a chemical treatment and along with outside stressors like excessive heat (showers, saunas, aircon/heating), weather, environment and habits (makeup products, careless handling), premature dryness can occur and lead to shedding.
​
Following aftercare is crucial to maintaining a beautiful, longer-lasting result.
Brow Lamination
Hybrid Brow Dye
PREPARING FOR YOUR BROW DYE
Pause use of active skincare ingredients leading up to your appointment
i.e. retinols, AHA/BHA's
-
Lightly exfoliating the brow area, 1-2 day before your appointment and following with a generous layer of hydrating serum and/or moisturiser will allow for better retention and a smoother skin stain. This is especially prevalent in Winter!
-
Avoid fake tan on the face prior to your brow dye appointment. Fake tan affects the hue of your brow dye, nobody wants green or violet brows!
-
Ideal to arrive to your appointment with no makeup on or around the brows.
​​​
AFTERCARE
-
Avoid wetting brows for 24 hours - This allows the dye to set into the skin and hair.
-
Minimising moisture (water, skincare, sweat, oil, makeup removers etc.) directly on the brows will prolong the skin stain as long as possible.
-
Oilier skin types will always naturally break down the skin stain quicker.
​
Blush & Brow Beauty prides itself on doing everything possible to give you the most longevity, but hybrid dye is still a temporary product.
​
Skin cells and hairs naturally shed on a monthly cycle, and this is why hybrid dye cannot last forever! Everyone's skin/hair cycle and behaviour is unique to them and can vary from person to person.
​
Just like fake tan can only last so long on the skin, the skin stain from a brow dye is of the same mechanism.
Following aftercare is crucial to maintaining a beautiful, longer-lasting result.
