Waxing
- It is normal to experience some slight soreness, small bumps and redness particularly after your first wax. These symptoms should subside over the next 24 hours.
- Keep the waxed area clean.
- Avoid heat and friction for 24 hours after your wax.
- No sunbathing for 24 hours after your wax.
- No swimming for 24 hours after your wax.
- Do not apply deodorant, body sprays, lotions or other products to the area other than those recommended by your therapist.
- Moisturise every day to keep skin supple and help new hairs grow through normally.
- To prevent ingrown hairs, you should exfoliate your skin gently 2-3 days after your wax 2-3 times a week
- If it was your first wax you may notice a small amount of re-growth after a week or so, it can take up to 4 treatments for your hair to get on the same growth cycle which will then give you the best results.
- Do not shave between your appointments.
- Regular waxing is recommended every 3-6 weeks.
Tanning
- Shower between 4-8 hours after your spray depending on how dark your desired tan is. We recommend 4 hours for a light tan, 6 hours for a medium tan and 8 hours for a dark tan.
- Avoid water whilst tan is developing.
- Avoid heavy exercise or any sweating whilst tan is developing.
- Pat skin dry. Do not rub skin.
- Use a non-oily body moisturiser every day to maximise duration of the tan.
Manicure/Pedicure
- Avoid picking, biting your nails or picking at things with your nails.
- Wear gloves whenever washing up, cleaning or gardening.
- Use cuticle oil daily to nourish the skin around the nails which will support the health of your nails.
- Always have product removed professionally.
- Moisturise regularly but avoid hand creams containing lanolin which can cause lifting.
- Always wipe nails after application of sun cream, tanning products, hair colourants and any other products that may stain.
- Do not file the edge of your nails as this is where there is a seal that keeps the gels strong, breaking this seal can cause water in and allow them to chip.
- Polish can fade in excessive sun and chlorinated water. (Dry your nails after swimming and before sun bathing to minimise colour fading.)
Massage
- Avoid heavy meals after a massage.
- Drink plenty of water to help flush out toxins.
- Avoid alcohol and caffeine as massage is a detoxifying treatment.

- Do not shower after an aromatherapy massage, the oils need time to penetrate the skin in order to be absorbed into your system to achieve best results.

- Increased urination or flu-like symptoms may be experienced, but these are temporary and will pass once your body re-balances itself, it will be replaced with a feeling of comfort.

- The piercing area should be cleansed then kept dry, especially after bathing, swimming or exercise.
- Do not remove studs or handle your ears.
- Ensure the butterfly back of the piercing is positioned at the tip of the piercing post. This ensures the earring remains loose during the healing process, reducing inflammation.
- Leave the studs in the ears for 6 weeks. (12 weeks for cartilage).
- After 6 weeks (12 weeks for cartilage), the stud can be removed, and other earrings can be worn.
- Use only post-style earrings continuously for the first 6 months from piercing.
