Brow waxing is one of the few skin-based treatments and we like to ensure that our clients’ skin is suitable for a safe, comfortable procedure. However, there are some conditions where waxing may damage the skin. If you’re unsure about any of these contraindications, just chat to our team – they can always recommend an alternative! We offer both hot and strip wax, or book in for a brow tweeze/shape if you’re not certain waxing is for you.

​

We cannot perform a brow wax if:

• You have used Accutane, Roaccutane (retinoic acic) or other strong acne medications in the last six months. These medications have a thinning effect on the skin which makes brow waxing unsuitable.

• You have used retinol, topical Retin-A, ReTrieve (tretinoin) or other prescription skin medications in the last four weeks. These have similar effects to the above.

• You have had laser resurfacing, fraxel laser or skin needling in the last four weeks. These treatments leave skin very delicate for at least a month.

• You’ve had a BHA/AHA/glycolic acid peel in the brow area in the last four weeks.

 

We like to make sure that all our tint clients have a comfortable experience with us and come out with great brows and lashes! Unfortunately, there are some circumstances where tints cannot be performed.

​

We cannot perform a tint if:

• You have had an allergic reaction to any form of tint (including hair dye) in the past.

• You have any sign of eczema, infection, cuts or scabbing in the brow area.

• For lash tinting – if you have eye inflammation, infection, or have had laser eye surgery in the past 3 months.

​

Please note: if you regularly use exfoliants/scrubs retinols, AHA or BHA-based products on the brow area, the tint treatment may not last well. Exfoliants encourage cell turnover, which means that tint tends to fade at a faster rate.
