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. 

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

             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.
