Home Nail Care Advice
The success of any nail service is shared between the nail technician and the client.
The nail technician is 50% responsible in diagnosing the clients nail needs by performing a consultation to determine your lifestyle, activity level and nail plate shape, prescribing the proper service and recommending home care products and procedures. The client is 50% responsible for following the recommended home care procedures, setting timely maintenance appointments and following any other instructions from the nail technician. Our clients Health & Well being is put formost. Our Technicians only offer treatments that clients need and request. We will not provide services that is not in our clients best interests.
- Oil nails once a day to maintain flexibility. Gel or acrylic that is allowed to become brittle will crack and break. Applying cuticle oil will also penetrate the cuticle for healthier skin and promote nail growth.
-
Repetitive or severe pressure on the nail extension will lead to cracks that result n full-blown breaks. Treat your nails as jewels, not tools.
- Nails that are too long for your life style and activity level (repetitive downward tip pressure) Will result in service breakdown.
- Don’t leave hands in harsh chemicals - ensure you wear gloves when gardening, washing the dishes and cleaning.
- Don’t leave hands in water for a long period of time. Water eventually breaks down the whole artificial nail (with adhesion). Applying hand cream after washing hands will also help keep skin healthy and nails flexible.
Aftercare Instructions for Waxing
Do – apply antiseptic cream to treated areas 3 times in the 24 hours following treatment.
Do – if your skin feels hot after treatment, bathe with a cold salt water solution regularly in the hours following treatment, this reduces inflammation and speeds up the healing process. (Add half a teaspoon of salt to one cup of boiling water and chill).
Do – apply sun block daily to prevent sunlight from interfering with the healing process for 2–3 days following treatment.
Do – wear loose clothing
Do Not - Expose the skin to sun, sunlight or sunbeds for 48hrs
Do Not – use a steam room, sauna or any heat treatment for 24 hours.

Most people find the hair will start to re-grow within 7-10 days following treatment.
The hair needs to be a certain length in order to successfully remove it by waxing.
Allow 4 weeks before your next treatment.
Immediately after treatment, the area may be red or slightly inflamed, we apply a cooling lotion after the treatment.
Spotting of the skin
This is normal after waxing as it means that the hairs have been removed from the root of the follicle. These spots usually fade within 24 hours. Seek / ask proessional advice if concerned.
Sensitive Skin
Apply a cold compress two or three times after your waxing as this will help relieve any stinging and also reduces any redness. Do no apply deodorant up to 24hrs after waxing. Do not go out in the sun for 24 hours after waxing.
Ingrown Hairs
It is very important that you loofah / exfoliate daily in-between treatments. This helps prevent ingrown hairs as dead skin may form over the mouth of the follicle causing the hair to grow under the skin when it reappears. There are preventative medicated serurms arailable.
Itchiness after Waxing?
Make sure you use an ice cold compress and an anti-histamine lotion or moisturiser. Itchiness is quite normal as this is due to a chemical reaction of the skin. Sometimes itchiness occurs weeks after waxing due to new skin breaking through the mouth of the
Pre-Tan Application
Exfoliate your body before the application. This is easily accomplished by rubbing a damp soapy face towel firmly over your skin when showering. Pay attention to rough skin areas like knees, elbows, ankles and the tops of your feet.
Do not apply moisturizer to your skin at this stage as doing this will reduce the final result. We also recommend that you don't wear any make-up. Wear attire suitable for tanning: we suggest a bikini for women and dark shorts or a swimsuit for men.
Waxing & Shaving should be done at least 24 hours prior.
We recommend that you wear dark, loose fitting attire before and after your appointment. Any minor rub-off will easily wash out of most fabrics, but some lighter coloured materials, including leather, may stain.
Don’t shower for 6-8 hrs after your Tan has been applied. Your Tan develops during thie time.
We also recommend that you do not exercise or perspire excessively between the tanning and the showering phase. When showering don't be concerned if some of the initial bronzer washes off - this is part of the tanning process, and your skin will continue to tan..
After Tan Care
Use a sodium laurel sulphate free body wash. Apply moisturizer twice daily after showering. This reduces the rate at which your skin exfoliates and will keep your tan looking better for longer. After showering, always pat the skin dry. Do not rub. Other considerations in maintaining your tan are to avoid long baths, hot spas and extended swimming sessions. Shorter sessions are preferable. Also avoid products designed to exfoliate your skin.
Skin: If you feel you have highly sensitive skin, or you have any doubts, we recommend a small localized test spray to check your skin compatibility before having your spray tan.
Your tan will last between 7-14 days - depending how well you look after it.
Once your tan is applied, you must allow it to dry completely. We will ensure that your application is dry before you leave, but as a precaution, do not wet your skin for at least 5 hours after the tanning session. Showering the following morning is the best option.
After Ear piercing Care Procedure
Though post-piercing complications are rare when using Studex products as directed, statistics show that by far the greatest percentage of all post piercing complications are caused through negligent after-care procedures performed by the customer. In order to promote a trouble-free healing processes, all customers receiving an ear piercing with Studex® products should observe the following after care advice. Wash hands thoroughly before touching studs or ear. Cleanse front and back of ear with Studex® or MediSept™ Ear Care Solution or apply MediSept™ Ear Care Gel at least twice a day without removing studs. Then rotate studs 2 or 3 times, 180° left and 180º right, i.e. ½ turns only, thus avoiding hair wrapping around the post at the back of the lobe. In between cleansing, keep ears DRY.
DO NOT
Remove the studs or handle your ears and/or studs unnecessarily
Push the butterfly along the post towards the ear - the butterfly must always be positioned at the tip of the post. Feel the back of the butterfly each time you cleanse the ear - it must feel smooth.
DO
Leave studs in ears for 6 weeks continuously (12 weeks for cartilage).
After 6 weeks (12 weeks for cartilage), the studs can be removed and other post-type earrings may be worn continuously.
Use only post style earrings continuously for the first 5 months from piercing (12 months for cartilage). The post should be surgical stainless steel or other hyper-allergenic material.
Keep hairspray, soap, shampoo and other preparations away from the ear. After shampooing the ear should be rinsed with clear water and then prepared with a Studex® supplied Ear Care product as described above.
Minor pain/redness may occur immediately - this is normal. This should settle within 48 hours provided proper after care is carried out. If undue pain/swelling/redness occurs at any time, seek medical advice immediately, before removing the ear-piercing stud.
Ear & Nose CARTILAGE
Due to the nature of ear – nose / cartilage, extra care should be observed during the healing period. Minor pain/redness may occur immediately - this is normal. This should settle within 48 hours provided proper after care is carried out. If undue pain / swelling / redness occurs at any time, seek medical advice immediately, before removing the ear-piercing stud. Failure to properly follow after-care procedures or to seek immediate medical advice should a problem occur may result in permanent scarring to the ear cartilage.
Cleanse your face correctly:
Your skin needs to be gently cleaned to remove make-up, dirt and sunscreen without stripping the skin of its natural moisturising factors.
1. Dampen your face with tepid water as hot water dehydrates the skin. This will help you to spread the cleanser more evenly across the skin, The water also helps activate some cleanser ingredients to remove debris.
2. "Most skin types can use the same cleanser, Apply a small amount to your hands and with small, circular motions, use your finger tips to lightly massage across your skin.
3. Rinse using tepid water and pat your skin dry. "Rubbing your skin creates excess drag on the skin, This can cause damage, so be sure to keep things gentle. If your skin needs moisturiser, apply it now while it's still damp.
4. Don't cleanse your skin more than twice a day.
