Frequently Asked Questions
Nails last for up to 3-4 weeks.
We recommend that you have them removed professionally as peeling off or picking can cause damage to your nails.
Remember to use a non acetone nail polish remover as this will damage your nails.
Keep your hands and nails moisturised.
If you have wet hands make sure to dry them thoroughly especially around the nails.
Do not pick off the extensions as this will remove the upper layer of your natural nails, thus causing damage.
If any adverse reaction occurs: rash, redness, inflammation of any kind around the nails please contact your GP immediately.

Gelish will last until you soak it off. Gelish does not peel, chip or fade, it performs like a GEL. Will provide up to 21 days of lasting color.
This product will soak off in 10 12 minutes. Lightly file over the top of the surface with a 180 grit file, apply Gelish Artificial Nail Remover to a cotton ball and place on the nail. Wrap the nail with foil and allow to the nail to soak for 10 12 minutes. Then rub off the nail.
You can also use the Gelish Wrap It Off Foil Removal System for easier removal!
This system uses only a pH balancing agent to stabilize the moisture level of the nail. Then the Gelish Foundation Gel has adhesive properties that attract to the keratin in the natural nail, not causing any depletion, only acting as a 2 sided tape to adhere the Gelish Soak Off Gel Polish to the nail itself

Waxing hair will last up to six weeks.
Many areas of the body may be waxed: eyebrows, forehead, lip area, cheeks, chin, back, upper/lower leg, underarms, forearms, bikini line — even hair on the knuckles of fingers and toes.
After waxing, avoid tanning and extended sun exposure for 48 hours. You will want to avoid hot showers or baths, sauna and steam room use immediately following the service. Scented lotions, perfumes, or colognes should be avoided for 48 hours.
Use a tea-tree based moisturiser on the waxed area – it is a natural antiseptic and will help reduce the likelihood of getting ingrown hairs & small pimples.

LOOKING AFTER YOUR SKIN - CARE ADVISE
The treatment is really relaxing and doesn’t hurt at all. All you feel is a slight suction on your face, the suction brings the blood supply to the skin’s surface to help promote new collagen and elastin formation.
Crystal Clear Microdermabrasion takes years off your complexion by gently exfoliating the outer layers of skin. Because it's a safe and controlled method of skin resurfacing, the treatment can be used to solve a wide range of skin concerns on both the face and body.
Microdermabrasion provides immediate and visible results for ageing skin, lines and wrinkles, open pores, blackheads, pigmentation, blemish scars, acne scars, stretch marks and so much more.
Avoid heat treatments (including hot baths and showers) and UV exposure for 48 hours.
Avoid exercise (anything that might make you sweat) and swimming for 24 hours.
Must use a SPF of 15 or more at all times.
We recommend that for 12 hours clients do not put anything on the skin including make-up, cleanser, moisturiser and don’t apply fake tan for 2-3 days after the treatment.
No exfoliator is to be used on the face for at least 7 days.
