If any irritation or reaction occurs within 24 hours then please contact Me and your GP immediately.
- Please avoid intense on the nails 24 hours after treatment.
This includes baths, showers, hair washing, sunbeds, saunas as they can fade the colour and contribute to lifting.
- Always wear gloves
When doing tasks such as housekeeping and gardening to protect your hands and nail enhancements from harsh chemicals.

Picking tables off and finding the end of the tape can really ruin the gel polish so please use something like an
old credit card to do this!
- Ensure you always have gel polish and acrylic nails professionally removed.
If you try to peel and pick them off yourself you will damage your natural nails.

- Always wash hands thoroughly after applying sun cream, self-tanning, body lotions and hair colouring products as these can cause lifting and distort the colour.
Waxing
Sugar waxing Aftercare Advice
Please note: A small amount of soreness and redness can occur after waxing, especially if it is your first wax. Symptoms will naturally subside over the next 24-48 hours. If you experience persistent redness or irritation, apply a cold compress. If it does not improve please do not hesitate to contact me and/or contact your GP immediately.
For the first 24 – 48 hours after the treatment, please keep the waxed area clean and avoid heat and friction, this means:
- No hot baths, showers or saunas.
- No use of swimming pools, hot tubs, massage or steam treatments.
- No tanning (sunbathing, sun beds or fake tanning)
- No sport, gym or other exercise.
- Avoid scratching or touching the treated area with unwashed hands.
- Wear clean, loose fitting clothes.
- Do not apply deodorants, body sprays, powders, lotions or other products other than those recommended by your therapist.
After 24-48 hours:
- Moisturise every day to keep the skin supple and help keep new hairs grow through normally. Don’t exfoliate too much or too rough as this can graze the skin and cause ingrown hairs.
- 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 a growth cycle that gives the best results.
To maintain a smooth appearance, regular waxing is recommended every 4-6 weeks.
