How to care for your service after you leave the studio

First priority

When to contact the studio or a medical professional

Call the studio promptly if you are unsure what is normal for your service. For severe pain, spreading redness, pus, fever, eye pain, vision changes, a serious allergic reaction, or a burn that blisters or worsens, contact a licensed medical professional or urgent care. Trish's Lashes provides beauty services, not medical diagnosis or treatment.

Retention care

Eyelash extensions

Lash extensions are attached to natural lashes, so retention depends on adhesive cure, your lash cycle, skin oil, makeup, sleep, and aftercare.

• Keep lashes dry for the first 24-48 hours, or for the exact time your artist gives you.
• Avoid steam, saunas, hot yoga, swimming, heavy sweating, and direct shower spray during the initial cure window.
• Do not rub, pick, pull, twist, or sleep face-down on your extensions.
• Do not use oil-based cleansers, oily sunscreen, waterproof mascara, strip-lash glue, or lash curlers on extensions.
• After the dry period, clean your lash line gently with a lash-safe cleanser and soft brush. Rinse, pat dry, and brush lightly.
• Avoid cotton fibers that can catch at the lash line.
• Book fills before the set becomes too sparse. Natural shedding is normal every day.

Natural lash services

Lash tint, lift, and perm

A lash lift or perm reshapes the natural lash; tint darkens the lash. Freshly processed lashes need a gentle first day.

• Keep lashes dry for 24-48 hours after service.
• Avoid steam, saunas, hot yoga, swimming, heavy sweating, and sleeping directly on the lashes during the first 24-48 hours.
• Do not use mascara, lash serum, oils, eye cream, or heavy makeup around the lashes until your artist says it is safe.
• Do not rub the eyes or use a lash curler after a lift or perm.
• After the first day, keep lashes clean and brush gently into place.
• If your eyes feel irritated, remove contact lenses if applicable and contact the studio. Seek medical care for eye pain, vision changes, or worsening irritation.

Freshly waxed skin

Waxing aftercare

Waxing removes hair and can temporarily leave skin more sensitive. Treat the area like delicate skin for the first 24-48 hours.

• Avoid heat, hot showers, saunas, steam rooms, tanning, direct sun, swimming pools, hot tubs, and heavy workouts for 24-48 hours.
• Wear loose, breathable clothing over body-waxed areas to reduce friction.
• Do not scrub, exfoliate, shave, pick ingrown hairs, or use fragranced products on the waxed area for at least 24-48 hours.
• Avoid retinoids, acids, peels, and strong active skin care on the area until skin is calm.
• Keep the area clean and dry. Use a gentle moisturizer if your artist recommends it.
• After the area settles, gentle exfoliation can help reduce ingrown hairs, but do not exfoliate irritated or broken skin.

If skin feels burned

If waxing causes a burn-like reaction

Some redness and tenderness can happen after waxing. If the area feels burned, hot, raw, or unusually painful, stop using active products and treat the area gently.

• Cool the area with cool tap water or a cool, wet compress for about 10 minutes, or until discomfort improves.
• Do not apply ice directly to the skin.
• Do not apply toothpaste, butter, exfoliants, retinoids, acids, fragrance, alcohol-based toner, or antibiotic ointment unless a medical professional tells you to.
• A thin layer of plain petroleum jelly may help protect a minor superficial burn.
• Cover the area with a sterile nonstick bandage if clothing rubs it. Do not pop blisters.
• Protect the area from sun while it heals and after it closes to reduce dark marks or scarring.
• Contact a medical professional if blistering, severe pain, spreading redness, drainage, swelling, fever, or worsening symptoms occur.

Cosmetic tattoo care

Permanent makeup, nano brows, eyeliner, and lip blush

Permanent makeup is cosmetic tattooing. Fresh color usually looks stronger than the healed result, and peeling, light scabbing, itching, and a temporary “too light” phase can be part of healing. Do not judge the final result until the area has fully healed.

• Keep the area clean. Wash only as instructed by your artist, then pat dry with clean tissue or gauze.
• Do not pick, scratch, rub, peel, or pull flakes. Let the skin release naturally.
• Use only the aftercare balm, ointment, or moisturizer your artist recommends. Do not use home remedies.
• Avoid makeup on the treated area until your artist says it is safe.
• Avoid sun, tanning, swimming, hot tubs, saunas, steam, heavy sweating, facials, peels, laser, retinoids, acids, and exfoliants on the area while it heals.
• Avoid direct shower spray on the treated area. Keep shampoo, conditioner, and skin care products away from fresh pigment.
• For lip blush, avoid spicy foods, very hot drinks, kissing, and direct contact with unclean cups or utensils while the lips are fresh. If you are prone to cold sores, follow your physician's guidance.
• For eyeliner, avoid contacts, mascara, lash serums, and eye makeup until your artist clears you. Seek medical care for eye pain, vision changes, or worsening swelling.
• Use sun protection after healing. UV exposure fades cosmetic tattoo pigment.
• Attend any recommended touch-up or perfecting appointment. Additional touch-ups, color boosts, corrections, or removal may be charged separately.

There is no warranty or guaranteed cosmetic result for permanent makeup performed on your skin. Skin type, lifestyle, medication, sun exposure, prior work, aftercare, and how your body heals all affect the final cosmetic outcome.
