Stage 1 · Check
Nail and skin condition looked at.
Our treatments, in detail
Four areas, all with safety checks before the first appointment.
Program 01 · Removed properly, not picked
Nails
Most nail damage blamed on gel is actually removal damage — peeling it off takes layers of the nail plate with it. We soak off properly, which takes longer and is the difference between healthy nails and the thin, bendy ones people assume gel caused.
Stage 2 · Prep
Cuticle work without cutting live skin.
Stage 3 · Apply
Thin layers, cured properly.
Stage 4 · Removal
Soaked off, never peeled.
Stage 1 · Patch test
At least 48 hours beforehand.
Stage 2 · Consultation
Eye health and contraindications.
Stage 3 · Treatment
Isolated properly, no stuck lashes.
Stage 4 · Aftercare
What to avoid for 24 hours.
Program 02 · Patch test, no exceptions
Lashes & brows
The patch test is not a formality. Tint and adhesive reactions can be severe and can develop in people who have had the treatment many times before. We will decline a tint for a returning client whose test is out of date, which occasionally annoys people and is not negotiable.
Program 03 · Not with retinoids
Waxing & threading
Retinoids, acids, recent peels and some medications make skin lift during waxing, which means removing skin rather than hair. We ask what you have been using, and we will decline or thread instead — the inconvenience is small against the alternative.
Stage 1 · What you use
Retinoids and acids matter.
Stage 2 · Honest decline
Where skin would lift.
Stage 3 · Treatment
Or threading as the safer option.
Stage 4 · Aftercare
Heat, friction and products to avoid.
Stage 1 · Skin check
Type, sensitivity and products used.
Stage 2 · Honest limits
What a facial will not fix.
Stage 3 · Treatment
To tolerance, not to intensity.
Stage 4 · Referral
To a GP where it is medical.
Program 04 · Cosmetic, not medical
Facials
A facial can leave skin clean, hydrated and calmer. It cannot treat acne, rosacea or eczema, and we will say so and point you to a pharmacist or GP rather than selling a course of treatments for a medical condition.
