Le Grande Studio Ltd believes in using prestige products to ensure our clients are receiving a quality spray tan. We are always doing research and product trials as the industry is evolving from sunbeds to spray tanning and we guarantee no orange results as there is no alcohol in any of our products.
Spray Tanning is the safest alternative and the key to a sun-safe future, it is a responsible choice for consumers, as melanoma has been identified with the use of solariums and dangerous UV radiation.
Now spray tanning isn't just for the runway models or the catwalk. Don't save it for a special occasion or a wedding either. Let's face it, if you're going out, you get your hair done, your nails are done, add a smashing outfit, some killer heels and a cute little bag (for the girls of course) you need a Hot Tan to go with it. Trust me you're missing out if you haven't got one. Everyone's getting spray tans including the men.
It's not a secret anymore...


EYELASH EXTENSIONS / LASH EXTENSIONS
Eyelash or lash extensions are Hot and they look amazing! Lash extensions are done by using individual synthetic eyelashes which are applied to your natural lashes. There is no need for mascara, although a water based mascara is fine to use. Results are thicker, longer, natural lucious looking lashes. They are safe in the shower, while swimming, sleeping or exercising. Lashes will last as long as your natural lash life cycle, which can be anywhere from 3-8 weeks depending on the individual.
A full set of semi-permanent eyelash extensions are applied during your initial visit. Eyelash extensions fall out naturally when your natural lashes fall out. Your own eyelashes will grow out on a continuous cycle, so touching up the eyelash extensions will help to maintain the fullness of lashes. Re-touching is recommended every 2-3 weeks and costs less than the initial visit.
This process takes approximately 1 to 2 hours, depending upon the amount of synthetic lashes applied. Each treatment usually involves attaching approximately 25 to 60 lashes per eye.
IMPORTANT EYELASH EXTENSION AFTER CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Do not get lashes wet, allowing glue to dry thoroughly for first 24hrs. Avoid hot steam from the shower and sauna for first 48 hrs. Do not rub your eyes excessively. Be gentle with your new lashes. Use water based eye makeup remover, and use a cotton bud to gently remove eye makeup around the lash line. Use only a “water-based” mascara on your lash tips and not at the base of your lashes. Application at the lash base may break the lash and/or create a clump of mascara in your lash line. Avoid using a mechanical eyelash curler. Do not perm or tint the eyelash extensions. Schedule an infill procedure in 2-4 weeks. Infills are highly recommended in order to maintain your lucious lashes.

Preparing for your Tan
Sunless tanning will last longer on skin that has been well prepared. Skin should be
Well hydrated in the week leading up to your tanning appointment but not on the
Day of the tan itself. Similarly, exfoliate your skin the day before - the day of your tan.
Do not apply deodorant or perfume before arriving for your tan as they react with the
Tanning solution and may turn greenish in colour. If the face is to be tanned, skin
Should be clean and dry. Our tanning solutions do not stain hair, lips or nails when
Correctly applied. Best results are achieved when you allow one clear day between
Your tan application and the day of your event. Any type of hair removal is
Best done at least 24 hours prior to your tan to allow the pores time to close.
-
During your Tan
For full body tans, clients may choose to wear underwear, swimwear or disposables
Provided by the salon. (As some synthetic materials may ‘grab’ the cosmetic colour
Guide in the tanning solution it is advisable to wear older, darker underwear/
Swimwear which you don’t mind being discoloured.)
-
Immediately after your Tan
Your skin may feel slightly sticky for up to 2 hours following your tan as the active
Ingredient dihydroxy acetone (commonly known as DHA) takes this long to penetrate
Into the upper layers of the skin. It is also vital to the success of your tan that you
Wear only minimal underwear, clothing and footwear during this time to avoid
‘Disturbing’ your tan which may cause lines and patches. (A sarong and baggy tee-
Shirt is ideal). Traces of tanning solution may transfer onto clothing towels and
Bedding until a shower has been taken.
-
Developing your Tan
Tanning solution generally takes 5 - 8 hours to develop to its full colour strength and
The longer you leave it before taking a shower, the better the results will be. All
Bathing, showering, swimming and any form of exercise must be avoided during the
Development time. It is also beneficial to avoid sitting (and crossing one’s legs) for
Long periods of time.
-
Maintaining your Tan
Use soap-free products to cleanse the skin. With regular light moisturising your tan
Will last between 5-10 Days depending on your skin type, skin care and lifestyle. Pat
The skin dry with your towel after bathing - this is when the tan is most fragile.
Gentle exfoliation every 4-7 Days, followed by a Maintenance Top Up Tan valid within 5 Days of initial spray tan will achieve perfect All year round colour. Humid climates, regular swimming, frequent showering or use
Of a spa will reduce the longevity of your tan.
-
Sun Protection
Our sunless tanning preparations offer almost no protection from the sun. We always
Recommend caution, high factor sunscreens and regular moisturising with exposure to the
Sun.
-
Contra-Indications
Sunless tanning preparations should not be applied over broken skin - e.g. cuts and
Abrasions. Care should always be exercised with regard to psoriasis or eczema. DHA may
Cause some sensitivity with clients who have sensitive skin. If your skin is sensitive or if you
Have reacted previously to a sunless tanning product, please advise your therapist prior to your
Appointment; a simple patch test 24 hours beforehand can determine if it is safe to proceed with the
Tanning process. We do not advise the use of sunless tanning during the first trimester of pregnancy.
