before your appointment

For every visit

• Arrive with clean, makeup-free lashes and brows. Remove any mascara, lash serum, brow gel, or pomade that day. We cleanse before every treatment, but makeup can leave residue behind, and makeup, not our products, is usually what irritates the eyes.
• Plan to arrive on time. Arriving 15 minutes late or more counts as a missed appointment.
• Getting to us: we are inside the WSA building at 161 Water Street. Take the escalator up to the check-in desk and let them know you are headed to the 23rd floor Water Lounge. Check in from the text we send you, then help yourself to tea, water, and snacks at the bar.

Why we ask you to skip coffee

Please skip coffee before your appointment. Caffeine affects your nerves, and when your body is nervous or stressed, lashes do not always fully lift. This is mostly about coffee. Light caffeine, like matcha, is fine.

after your appointment

The one rule for right now

If you had a lift or a tint, keep your lashes and brows completely dry for the next 24 hours. Your full care instructions arrive by email within 24 hours. Questions before then? Text us at (917) 909-4094.

Keratin Lash Lift

First 24 hours

• Keep your lashes dry. No workouts and no heavy steam.
• You can shower and wash your face. Keep moisture away from the lash area, since your lashes are still setting and water can make them drop.

From then on

• Each night, tap a small amount of coconut or castor oil onto your lashes. It keeps processed hair hydrated and can support growth.
• Using a lash serum? Resume it along your lash line, wipe around it with a Q-tip so nothing drips, then tap coconut oil on top.
• No lash curlers and no waterproof mascara. Our Lash Gloss is all a lifted lash needs.
• Your lift lasts 6 to 8 weeks. We recommend coming back every 6 to 7 weeks.

Brow Lift

First 24 hours

• Keep your brow hair dry. No workouts.
• You can shower, but avoid long, hot, steamy showers, since your brow hair is still processing.
• Leave the argan cream from your appointment on to keep the hairs hydrated.

From then on

• Each night, tap a small amount of coconut oil onto your brows.
• Your lift lasts 4 to 6 weeks. We recommend coming back every 4 to 6 weeks.

Keratin Lash Lift + Brow Lift

• Follow both sets of care above. Keep lashes and brow hair dry for 24 hours, leave the argan cream on your brows, and from then on tap coconut or castor oil onto your lashes and brows each night.
• We recommend coming back every 6 to 7 weeks.

Brow Shape

• No aftercare needed.
• Added a brow tint? Keep your brows dry for 24 hours so it sets.
• We recommend coming back every 4 to 5 weeks, depending on your brow growth.

Lash Tint and Brow Tint

• Keep the tinted area dry for 24 hours so the color does not fade early.
• Lash tint lasts up to 4 weeks. Brow tint lasts up to 3 weeks. Members can refresh either for $25 between visits.

And we carry products to extend your care at home.
