DO THIS. NOT THAT.

1 Week Before…
+ Brows should be well groomed, but do not wax for at least one week prior to your session.
+ Haven't had their eyebrows groomed? Contact Lauryl for 2 weeks before your session.
+ If you arrive with unkept brows, they will be groomed on set for an additional fee.
3 Days Before…
+ Avoid using an AHA's such as Glycolic or Salicylic Acid.
+ If you exfoliate your skin, use a physical exfoliant.
+ If you do not exfoliate or have sensitive skin – skip the step above.
Day Before…

Day Of…
+ Arrive fresh-faced without any makeup.
+ Clean and moisturize your skin (SPF free lotions please).
+ Brush your lips/teeth for a smooth lipstick application + white teeth.
+ If you wear contacts, come to your session wearing them.
