Nails
-
Soft gel is applied over natural nails and cured using a LED/UV lamp. Gel can be applied in block colour, french tips, and/or with nail art.
Soft gel overlay lasts 2-3 weeks and requires a soak off for removal.
-
Builder gel is a harder gel which adds strength and durability to the natural nail. This has the added benefit of preventing nail breakages allowing the natural nails to grow longer than they would without the protection of builder gel.
Builder gel can last up to 4-6 weeks with infills recommended every 4 weeks to maintain health and condition of nails. Professional removal highly advised to prevent damage to the natural nail.
Builder gel can be combined with coloured gel, french tipsand nail art.
-
Nail art can be applied over soft gel or builder gel.
-
Soft gel is removed by soaking in acetone and builder gel is removed by filing and acetone. Never pick off gel nails as this causes damage to the natural nail.
Builder gel can be infilled every 3-4 weeks, rather than complete removal and reapplication every time. Soft gel overlays are removed and reapplied as they cannot be infilled.
Lashes & Brows
-
Lashes are tinted to make them more visible and appear longer.
Tinting can be repeated every 4-6 weeks depending on individual lash growth cycles. Lashes can be tinted between lash lifts.
-
A lash lift is the process of chemically shaping the lashes. Korean-style lash lifts work on the entire lash from the root to tip, giving more control and flexibility over the desired result.
Lashes are lifted from the root to give the appearance of length, and making the eyes look bigger and more open. Lash lifts are a tailored service and the amount of lift versus curl is adapted based on desired look.
During the lifting process, lashes are also separated and usually tinted giving a full and lengthened effect.
Lash lifting and tinting lasts up to 6-8 weeks depending on individual lash growth cycles. Tinting can be topped up in between lash lift appointments to maintain a bold tint and ‘mascara-like’ look.
-
Brows can be tinted in a variety of colours and shades to complement your hair colour and undertones. A traditional brow tint dyes the hair only and lasts up to 6-8 weeks. Hybrid brow tinting leaves a stain on the skin as well as dying the hair which gives the appearance of a fuller and more defined brow. The stain on the skin lasts up to 7 days while the hair is tinted for up to 7 weeks.
-
Brow waxing is the removal of unwanted excess brow hairs to give a more defined shape. It is a quick and efficient process with barrier products used to minimize discomfort and redness.
To maintain the shape and definition, a wax is recommended every 4 weeks for a polished look, or every 6 weeks for a natural look.
-
Brow Lamination is the process of chemically relaxing the brow hairs and ‘setting’ them into the desired position. Brows can be laminated in an upward direction to look super full and fluffy or brushed outwards for a slick and polished look. Brow hairs can also be manipulated to cover gaps or spread out to make sparse brows look fuller.
Brow lamination can last anywhere from 6 to 10 weeks depending on induvial hair growth cycles, but typically around 6-8 weeks.
For maximum impact, a brow lamination package can include a wax and tint for a truly polished look.
Myth busted!
Once your brows are laminated, they are NOT stuck in one position, they are just encouraged to sit in a particular direction and easier to style and manipulate.
-
A brow lamination maintenance treatment includes a wax, nourishing mask and tint top up if required. Lamination usually lasts 6-8 weeks therefore maintenance is recommended every 3-4 weeks to keep brows healthy and maintaining the polished look between laminations.
