Pre-treatment Advice
Please attend your appointment free from eye make-up
A patch test is not required for eyelash extensions as the glue should never come into contact with the skin; however, please book a patch test if you are worried about sensitivity - we will apply a couple of lashes and use all products that we would during a full treatment. You can book this here.
Aftercare Advice
Keep your lashes dry for the first 24 hours
Avoid contact with any oils
We recommend only using Nouveau Enhance Mascara as this has been specially formulated for use with your eyelash extensions (available in store)
We recommend using the Max 2 eyelash sealant 2-3 times a week to condition lashes and strengthen the bond between the lashes and the glue (available in store)
Do not perm lashes
Do not use a lash curler, as it will break the lash extensions and the natural lashes
Do not rub eyes or lashes when washing face. Always pat dry lashes after cleansing
To clean your lashes, we recommend that you use Nouveau Lash & Lid Cleanser, that has been specially formulated for use with your lash extensions (available in store)
An occasional short visit to a sauna room is fine but regular use could affect the longevity of your lash extensions
Please book in to have your eyelash extensions removed in the salon or purchase the Nouveau Lash remover (available in store)
Due to the life cycle of a lash being around 90 days, we recommend that your maintenance appointment should be every 2-3 weeks to ensure maximum fullness
Not following correct aftercare can cause premature loss and/or damage of lashes
