​

LASH EXTENSIONS

​

WASH DAILY

You may wet and wash your lashes the same day as your appointment with our current studio application routine. There is no 24-hour waiting period. Clean them daily and after heavy sweating, swimming or crying.

​

CLEAN AT THE SINK

Wash your hands. Close your eyes and gently cleanse the lash line and extensions with an extension-safe foaming cleanser and a soft cleansing brush. Rinse thoroughly with cool or lukewarm water. Clean at the sink instead of under the shower spray. Do not stand with your lashes directly under a forceful stream of water. Avoid hot steam and direct heat from ovens, grills, hair dryers or styling tools.

​

DRY, THEN BRUSH

Let lashes air-dry or use a fan on a cool setting. Do not rub them with a towel. Once dry, gently roll the spoolie over the tops, then fluff underneath from the mid-lengths toward the tips. Do not dig into the roots or brush upward like mascara. If the brush catches, stop instead of pulling through.

​

THE CUTER YOU SLEEP, THE MORE LASHES YOU KEEP

Avoid sleeping with your lashes pressed into the pillow. A satin pillowcase or a contoured sleep mask that does not touch the extensions may help reduce friction.

​

PROTECT YOUR SET

No mascara, lash curlers, picking, pulling or at-home removal. Keep heavy oils and creams off the extensions. Book your fill within the interval in your service description. Contact the studio about discomfort or retention concerns. Eye pain, vision changes or light sensitivity requires prompt eye-care assessment.

​

BROW LAMINATION

​

FIRST 24 HOURS

Keep brows dry. Avoid steam, sweating, rubbing, brow makeup, oils and heavy creams. Do not sleep with brows pressed into your pillow. Limit heavy steam, saunas and intense workouts for 48 hours.

​

ONGOING CARE

Starting 24 hours after your appointment, apply a light amount of brow conditioner or nourishing brow serum to the hairs once a day. Spread it through gently with the product’s applicator or a clean spoolie. Avoid saturating the brows or rubbing product into the skin. If you also received a tint or skin stain, wash around your brows and avoid scrubbing or exfoliating the stained area. Caring for the hairs may cause the skin stain to fade sooner.

​

RESULTS

The shape gradually relaxes as hairs grow. Wear varies; the manufacturer describes up to 6–8 weeks. Tint on the skin fades sooner.

​

BROW TINT, STAIN OR HENNA

​

LESS IS MORE

Keep brows dry for 24 hours. Avoid rubbing, sweating, steam, makeup and heavy skincare over them. Limit heavy steam and intense workouts for 48 hours.

​

PROTECT THE STAIN

When washing your face, gently work around the brows instead of scrubbing over them. Avoid exfoliating acids, scrubs and oil-based products on the stain. Keep the area clean; do not pick or scratch.

​

WHAT TO EXPECT

Skin stain fades naturally. Tint may last up to about seven days on the skin; henna may last longer. Skin type, product and care affect wear. Hair color can remain after the skin stain fades.

​

WAXING

Keep the area clean and avoid rubbing or picking. While skin is sensitive, avoid hot baths, steam, friction, fragranced products and strong exfoliants on the treated area.

A clean cool compress can soothe discomfort. Use a gentle moisturizer suitable for your skin. Do not apply ice directly to the skin or exfoliate skin that is raw, broken or irritated. Contact the studio about skin lifting or persistent irritation, and seek medical care for worsening symptoms.

​

THREADING OR TWEEZING

Avoid touching, rubbing or picking the treated area. Keep hands and any tools that contact the area clean.

While skin is sensitive, use gentle cleansing and avoid heat, friction and irritating skincare or makeup over the area. Do not keep tweezing irritated follicles. Contact the studio if irritation persists or worsens.

​

PMU FRECKLES OR BEAUTY MARKS

Follow the written cleansing and aftercare-product routine supplied for your tattoo. Wash your hands before care. Do not scratch, pick or remove flakes.

Keep makeup and strong skincare off healing skin. Avoid soaking, swimming, tanning and friction until the skin has healed and your artist clears the activity. Do not book additional pigment work over unhealed skin. Seek medical care for spreading redness, increasing warmth, worsening pain, pus or fever.

​

EYEBROW TATTOO AFTERCARE – BEAUTY BY BEE NOLA

​

The healing and final look of your brows will depend greatly on how you care for them over the next few weeks. Everyone’s skin heals differently based on your health, skin type, and how well you follow this guide.

​

IMPORTANT: DO NOT APPLY ANY OINTMENT OR SOAP FOR THE FIRST 2 FULL DAYS

​

Let the brows breathe and settle. This is crucial for both wet and dry healing clients unless your artist told you otherwise.

​

DAY OF YOUR APPOINTMENT (DAY 0)

• Blot with gauze or cotton rounds every 5–10 minutes for 30–60 minutes.
  This removes lymph fluid and prevents hard scabbing. Keep blotting gently until the brows look dry.
  (You’ll be given enough gauze/cotton rounds to do this; ask your artist if unsure how many.)

• No water. No sweat. No makeup. No touching.
  Go straight home, avoid hot spaces, and protect your new brows.

• If your appointment ends late (after 8–9 PM), blot once more before bed.
  Then follow the schedule below starting the next morning.

​

DRY HEALING (If you were told you did not bleed)

Day 1–2:
→ DO NOT wash. DO NOT apply ointment. Keep the area clean, dry, and untouched.
→ Avoid getting brows wet unless told otherwise.

Day 3–7:
→ Keep dry

→ Apply thin layer of Aquaphor.

• Rice-grain amount •

Use Q-tip

• Spread gently across the brow

• Pat off excess (we want moisture, not smothering)

​

WET HEALING (If you were told you did bleed during your procedure)

DAYS 1–2: Keep brows dry: no touching, no sweating, no makeup, no water. Color will look bold at first, which is normal.

DAYS 3–10 (Clean + Moisturize Routine)

1. Wash hands first (20 seconds).

2. Clean brows using Cetaphil or CeraVe sensitive skin wash.

• Lather in your hands first

• Then gently use tiny circles on brows

• No pressure; don’t lift scabs or flakes

3. Rinse using distilled water or a water bottle. (No faucet water.)

• Pour or use a soaked cotton round

• Remove all soap completely

4. Pat dry with a clean cotton round. No rubbing.

5. Apply a thin layer of Aquaphor.

• Rice-grain amount

• Use Q-tip

• Spread gently across the brow

• Pat off excess (we want moisture, not smothering)

​

GENERAL CLEANING TIPS (Both Healing Types)

• Use distilled water (not tap) when rinsing.

• Use a clean cotton round or your fingers; no washcloths.

• No ointment on damp skin. Always dry first.

• Use Aquaphor Healing Ointment according to the schedule above. Do not substitute other ointments or oils unless your artist approves them. If you have a known allergy to an ingredient in Aquaphor, contact the studio before applying it.

​

AVOID DURING HEALING

• No brow makeup, eyeshadow, shimmer powders, or mica-based products for 2 full weeks.
  (Particles can enter open skin, even if applied elsewhere on the face.)

• No saunas, long hot showers, or workouts that make you sweat for 10 days.

• No sun, tanning, lake water, hot tubs, or swimming for 10–14 days.

• No facials, Botox, retinoids, or peels for 4 weeks.

• Do not sleep on your face. Use a fresh pillowcase the first night.

• No picking, rubbing, or scratching. Let scabs shed naturally.

​

SHOWERING TIPS

• Limit showers to 5–7 minutes max for the first week.

• Keep the door or window slightly open to prevent steam buildup.

• Do not wash your brows in the shower or tub.

• This avoids hot water.

• Keep your face out of direct spray.

​

WHEN DOES HEALING OFFICIALLY START?

Day 0 = Appointment day
Day 1 = The next full calendar day

Example:
If your appointment ends at 8 PM on Monday, Tuesday is Day 1.
Day 3 = Thursday. That’s when you begin washing your brows.

​

REALISTIC HEALING TIMELINE

Time frame: What to Expect

Days 1–3 Brows look darker and more defined. Some redness or tightness is normal.

Days 4–7 Light flaking or peeling may begin. Don’t pick. Let it shed naturally.

Days 8–14 Brows may appear patchy, faded, or uneven. This is normal.

Weeks 3–4 Pigment resurfaces and begins settling. True shape and color emerge.

Weeks 6–8 Fully healed! Touch-ups can now be booked if needed.

​

LIP BLUSH + DARK LIP NEUTRALIZATION AFTERCARE

​

Please read carefully. Lip skin is delicate and prone to swelling, scabbing, and sensitivity. Proper aftercare is essential to achieve smooth, even-healed color.

​

DAY 0 (DAY OF PROCEDURE)

• Blot gently every 15–30 minutes with clean gauze or a soft tissue for the first 1–2 hours to absorb lymph fluid.

• Do not eat spicy, salty, or oily foods for the first 24 hours. Stick to soft, cool foods.

• Avoid hot drinks for the first day. Use a straw when possible.

• Lips may be tender, swollen, or bright in color. This is normal.

​

DAYS 1–3

• Continue blotting gently if lymph is present.

• Apply a thin layer of Aquaphor or your artist-recommended ointment every few hours or as needed to keep lips from drying or cracking.

• Do NOT let lips become dry or tight. Reapply as needed, especially after eating or drinking.

​

DAYS 4–10

• Lips may begin to peel or flake. Do not pick or scrub.

• Apply ointment 2–3 times per day or as needed.

• Continue to avoid spicy, acidic, or salty foods.

• No kissing, smoking, swimming, saunas, or makeup on the lips until peeling is complete and skin has closed.

​

IMPORTANT NOTES

• Healed results may appear lighter or patchy at first. Full color blooms after 6–8 weeks.

• Dark lip neutralization may appear orange, red, or warm-toned during healing. This is part of the process; don’t panic.

• Avoid laser treatments or chemical peels near the lips for at least 4 weeks.

• Avoid lip filler for at least 4 weeks post-tattoo.

• Drink plenty of water and avoid licking your lips. Saliva can irritate healing skin.

• If you experience excessive swelling, oozing, or signs of infection, contact your artist or a medical professional.

​

COLD SORE PRECAUTIONS

Even if you’ve never had a cold sore, lip trauma can trigger an outbreak.
Discuss cold sore prevention with your prescribing clinician before treatment. Use prescription medication only as directed by that clinician. L-lysine is a supplement, not a substitute for prescribed antiviral medication. If you develop tingling, blisters or sores, contact a healthcare professional promptly and let your artist know.

​

EYELINER TATTOO AFTERCARE

​

The eye area is very sensitive. Slight swelling, tightness, and tenderness are expected. Your healed result will soften over time.

​

DAY 0 (DAY OF PROCEDURE)

• Eyes may feel swollen or puffy. Apply a cool, clean compress (not ice) for 10-minute intervals if needed.

• Do NOT apply ointment or eye drops unless instructed.

• Do NOT rub, wipe, or scratch your eyes. Use a fresh tissue to dab around the eye if needed.

​

DAYS 1–7

• Avoid water, steam, or sweating. Keep your eyes dry.

• Avoid eye makeup (mascara, liner, shadow) completely.

• Do not use lash serums or eyelash extensions.

• Avoid heavy creams or oils near the eyes.

• Sleep on a clean pillowcase and avoid sleeping on your face.

​

HEALING EXPECTATIONS

• Liner may appear bold or dark at first.

• As healing progresses, pigment may fade by 30–50% and then bloom again over the next 4–6 weeks.

• Light peeling or flaking is normal. Do not pick or pull at skin.

• New or persistent blurred vision, eye pain or sensitivity to light requires prompt assessment by an eye-care professional. Do not wait for an artist reply before seeking care.

• No facials, lash extensions, chemical peels, or lash lifts for at least 3 weeks.

​

SAFETY NOTES

• No swimming, hot yoga, or saunas for 10 days.

• Wear sunglasses to protect healing skin when outside.

• Seek medical care promptly for worsening redness, swelling, discharge or pain. For vision changes, eye pain or light sensitivity, seek urgent eye-care assessment. Notify your artist as well.
