Before the Service
Lash Extension
Come to have your lashes done WITHOUT any make up and clean.
Something that you need to know
Shedding cycles and how this play into extensions.
Each individual hair follicle take about 4-8 weeks to be replaced after shedding.
Each lash in it has its own phase of growth, which means, we can't predict where hair will shed.
Typically, in a full set, about 80-200 lashes are being applied per eye but as always it will depend on how many natural lashes you have at the time of application.
Each day, you may see on average 2-5 lashes falling out which is completely normal. Some days you may have 10 fall out in one area.
Sometimes you're able to make it 4 weeks from your lash fill & other times just 2.
It's different for everyone and you'll see that if you're more active, are taking medication or are really stressed out, among other factors, that your lashes with grow and shed differently.

Full Body Wax
Here’s a couple of tips to lessen the pain and increase the longevity of the hair free feeling.
If you’re really worried about the pain, and haven’t had waxing before then take 1 or 2 pain pills about 30-40 minutes before your appointment. This can help reduce the surface discomfort.
Make sure your hair is long enough to remove completely from the roots – it should be at least 0.5 centimetres.
If you’ve shaved the area within the last few weeks it might take a couple of waxes to get your hair into a cycle of growth that allows the most effective wax finish.
How long will your wax last?
If you’re a first-time or occasional waxer you will likely notice some new hair growth within 2-3 weeks due to the naturally staggered hair growth cycle. This part of regrowth will be sparse, about one-third of the hair normally present. Soon after the remaining hair will begin growing in.
Regular waxing will leave the area hair free for 3 – 6 weeks. Over time the density of hair in the waxed area may start to decrease as well.
After Care
At Diamond Studio Lashes and Brows, we want you to leave feeling confident and beautiful. After your appointment, make sure to follow these aftercare instructions to ensure longevity and maintain the health of your lashes, brows, or newly treated skin.
Lash Extensions
Treat your lashes like babies
Brush your lashes gently & softly with your lash brush 1-2 times a day or as needed.
Clean your lashes daily & try to deep clean 2-3 times a week.
Continue face routine, wash your face as usual, and wash your lashes very gently.
You're okay to use moisturizing eye-drops/ contact solution.
Dry them immediately after exposing them to water
Never use cloth or cotton as it will attach on to your lashes.
Don't expose your lashes to direct water pressure, like your shower.
Avoid sleeping on your face or sideways.
Avoid using sleep masks unless they are silk material.
Never ever pick, tug, or pull on your lashes (Natural or Extensions).
Avoid rubbing/pulling at your extensions
Use oil-free makeup remover, no makeup remover wipes. If you work out, wear a headband & make sure to gently clean your lashes.
Be careful with high heat around your extensions, including smoking, BBQ, hair dryer on med/high heat, because the extensions can become singed.
Do NOT use eyelash curlers of any kind, which can crimp the lashes.

Full Body Wax
You’ve just invested time, money and a little discomfort in order to be hairfree – so it makes sense to look after it. We don’t just make this stuff up for the sake of it! So, read on…
Immediately after your wax:
It’s normal immediately after your wax for a little bit of redness and a prickly heat type rash. This should disappear after a few hours.
Waxing removes the hair at the root, it’s important that you keep the area clean and bacteria free.
No sunbathing for at least 12 hours (have your waxing done at least the day before you go away)
No swimming in a chlorinated pool for 24 hours
No spa baths or saunas
Avoid applying any topical lotions for at least 12 hours (fragrances and other lubricants can cause a burning sensation)
Avoid touching the waxed area to ensure it remains bacteria free
Use a tea tree oil based product to apply to the area for its antibacterial qualities.
3-10 days after waxing
As you skin closes over the follicles, the next consideration is to ensure you prevent ingrown hairs. This is when new soft hair can get trapped under the skin. A few simple measures can easily avoid this situation.
Use a soft brush or exfoliating glove to gently buff the area every 2-3 days – this is particularly important after about day 3 through to about the 10 day mark. It doesn’t need to be hard scrubbing, just a gentle exfoliation.
