Pre-Care for Brow Lamination Service

Brow lamination is a cosmetic procedure that involves straightening and lifting the brow hairs using a chemical solution. Proper aftercare ensures the best results and maintains your eyebrow's health. Here are some aftercare tips for brow lamination:

1. Avoid Plucking or Waxing:

• Do not pluck, wax, or tint your eyebrows at least one week before the appointment to ensure there's enough hair for the lamination process.

2. Clean Brows:

• Make sure your brows are clean and free from any makeup, creams, or oils before the appointment. 
• This helps the lamination solution to adhere better.

3. Inform About Allergies:

• Inform your brow technician about any allergies or skin sensitivities you have, especially to chemicals.

4. Avoid Retinol and Exfoliants:

• Avoid using retinol, exfoliants, or other strong skincare products around the brow area for a few days prior to the treatment.

5. Patch Test:

• If you have sensitive skin or a history of reactions to cosmetic treatments, ask for a patch test 24-48 hours before your appointment.
