Lash Extensions

• Use Gentle Foam Cleansers! We recommend you use a gentle non-greasy foam cleanser for your eyelashes to ensure they stay clean and maintain hygiene of your lashes.
• No Mascara! Please do not use mascara on your lash extensions. And if you use eyeliner, please only use water-based eyeliner that needs to be removed, with any other makeup, every night.
• Rinse Lashes Daily! It is important to gently rinse and wash your eyelashes daily to help maintain them for as long as possible. Use your fingertips or a lash cleaning brush with your gentle non-greasy foam cleanser.
• Avoid Pulling & Rubbing! Just Don't Do It! We know it can be hard, and sometimes we accidently do it just out of habit, but you need to leave your lash extensions alone for them to stay as long as possible.
• Brush Your Lashes! Gently use a lash brush to brush and seperate your lash extensions daily, it will help keep them from clumping together and keep you looking fabulous for much longer.

Your lash extensions will remain longer depending on your general lifestyle, activities, everyday makeup usage, exercising regiment, exposure to heat or activities like hot yoga or saunas, all these will impact on how long your lash extensions will stay on your natural lashes. If they fall off sooner than you want, then no problem you can always come in for a re-fill with iconbrows lash extensions at anytime as long as you dont wait until more than half are gone then we will have to give you a new Iconbrows Lash extensions set in the style you want!

Lash Lift & Tint

• No Water on Lashes! Do not get your lashes wet in the first 24 (Twenty Four) hours after your iconbrows lash lift service. This includes, but not limited to, excessive moisture and steam from saunas and baths, sweating during excersizes or exposure to heat, and washing your face as you would normally do.
• No Makeup! Please do not use any makeup around your new lashes or any other eye treatment or procedure during the first 24 (Twenty Four) hours after your Iconbrows Eyelash Lift & Lash tint service. You can start using mascara again, if you want, after the first 24 to 48 hours.
• Use Gentle Foam Cleansers! We recommend you use a gentle non-greasy foam cleanser for your eyelashes after they have settled in 24 to 48 hours.
• Avoid Touching & Rubbing! Just Don't Do It! We know it can be hard, and sometimes we accidently do it just out of habit, but you need to let your lashes rest and settle in for the first 24 (Twenty Four) hours.
• Avoid Sleeping On Your Lashes! Sleep is important, but you cannot sleep on your front within the first 24 to 48 hours. Become like dracula for two nights and sleep on your back to ensure your lifted lashes stay as long as possible.

After the initial 24 to 48 hours you can resume your normal day to day life with your fabulous new lashes. However we recommend you continue to use a gentle foam cleanser for your lashes to ensure they stay healthy and lifted as long as possible. You can come in for a new lash lift usually after 6 to 8 weeks, if you have taken care of them properly, if not then you may need to come in a bit earlier, but that is not a big issue you are always welcome at Iconbrows - Brow & Lash Perfection.

Use a mascara wand to gently apply and brush the castor oil onto your lashes or brow hairs.

PMU: Microblading, Microshading & Fusion Brows

• Do Not Touch! You must not touch your new brows or the surrounding area around your new microbladed, shaded brows for at least 24 to 48 hours after your appointment. They need to heal, let them heal in peace.
• Use A Gentle Cleanser! After 24 hours of your microblading or microshading appointment, you can keep your brow area clean by using a gentle FRAGRANCE-FREE cleanser and water, gently cleaning with your hands. Do not use a washcloth or sponge! Clean the brows by moving your fingers and hands gently in the direction of the natural hair growth of your eyebrows.
• Air Dry Those Brows After Washing! It is best to air dry or gently dab the eyebrows with a clean towel to remove water and other moisture.
• Apply Aftercare Serum! Use the aftercare serum given to you by our brow experts with freshly washed hands or a Q-tip. DO NOT apply vaseline, petrolium, A & D ointments or Bepanthen to the area during its healing as your risk of infection is very high.
• No Picking or Rubbing! We know it will itch, and scab. That is a normal part of the healing process for your brows, but if you pick, rub or scratch the treated area you may cause scarring and pigment loss leading to much more work and potentially a more touch ups to get the desired final result. Let the healing process naturally make it fall off, it is completly normal and will be corrected in the following perfecting touch up appointment.
• Avoid Sun Exposure! The sun is going to be your enemy for the 3 (Three) weeks after your appointment. Avoid it at all cost, direct sunlight on your eyebrows will cause the pigment to fade much faster and irritate your brows. Avoid direct sunlight, tanning beds, pools (chlorine will irritate your brows and may cause an infection afterwards), sauna, steam rooms, hot showers and hot baths for 3 weeks after your eyebrow microblading or shading procedure.
• Avoid Intense Activity! Relax those marathon runs, gym squats and deadlifts that cause sweat to run down your face. Limit physical effort, gym and any other intense activity that causes you excessive sweating for at least 7 to 14 days.
• Avoid Sleeping On Your Face! Sleep is important, but you cannot sleep on your face for at least the first 10 days after your eyebrow microblading or shading service. Become like dracula for two nights and sleep on your back to ensure the oils, dust and other bacteria on your pillow doesnt seep into your brows and affect its natural healing process.
• No Makeup, Botox Or Facials! Do not use any makeup, botox or skincare products for at least 2 weeks after your eyebrow microblading, microshading, fusion brows appointment. Do not get any facials, chemical treatments or microdermabrasion treatments for at least 4 weeks. These may impact your eyebrows natural healing processes and affect your healed results.
• Avoid Retin-A! If you use Retin-A, try to avoid using it close to the brow area.
• Wear Sunblock When Goin Out! After around 14 to 21 days when the brow area has healed properly, please consider using sunblock when going out in places under direct sunlight to stop the color from fading. (SPF 30 or 50)
