LASHES & BROWS

.

Do I need a patch test?

Yes.

A patch test is required at least 48 hours before your first tinting, LVL, lash & brow tint or brow sculpt treatment at Hazelwood, or if more than 6 months have passed since your last treatment with us.

How long before my appointment do I need a tint test?

A patch test is required at least 48 hours before your appointment for all tinting, LVL and HD Brow treatments if:

you are a new client

your medical history has changed

you are pregnant

you have had a reaction previously

it has been a long period since your last tint treatment

If you are unsure, please contact the salon before booking.

What do I do if I have a reaction to my tint test?

If you experience any itching, swelling, redness, irritation or discomfort following your tint test, please contact the salon and seek medical advice where appropriate.

Unfortunately we would be unable to proceed with tinting treatments if a reaction occurs, however your therapist will always be happy to discuss alternative treatment options with you.

Is there any aftercare following treatment?

For the first 24–48 hours after treatment, we recommend avoiding:

excessive heat or steam

swimming

oil based products

rubbing the treated area

Your therapist will provide personalised aftercare guidance following your appointment.

How long do results last?

Results vary depending on the treatment and your natural hair cycle, however:

lash lifts typically last 6–8 weeks

brow sculpt results typically last up to 6 weeks

tinting generally lasts several weeks depending on skin type and aftercare

BROWS

.

What is HD Brow Sculpt?

HD Brow Sculpt is a brow styling treatment designed to help create fuller looking, more defined brows by lifting and setting the brow hairs into shape.

The treatment is fully customised to suit your face shape and desired finish.

Do you wax or tweeze the eyebrows?

We primarily shape brows using premium hot wax designed for sensitive facial areas and client comfort. In some cases, a small amount of tweezing may also be used for precision finishing.

Will my brows look too dark after tinting?

Tint colour is always selected carefully with your therapist to suit your skin tone, hair colour and desired result.

Tint may appear slightly darker immediately after treatment but usually softens naturally within a few days.

Should I avoid retinol or exfoliating products before brow waxing?

Yes. Please avoid retinol, AHAs, exfoliating acids or strong active skincare around the brow area for several days before waxing treatments, as this may increase skin sensitivity.

I’m not sure which brow or lash treatment to choose?

That’s completely fine.

Our therapists are happy to guide you based on your natural lashes, brows, desired look, and maintenance preferences to help you choose the most suitable treatment.

LASHES

.

What is LVL Lash Lift?

LVL Lash Lift is a treatment that lifts and enhances your natural lashes from the root, helping lashes appear longer, darker, and more defined without extensions.

Results typically last around 6–8 weeks depending on your natural lash cycle.

How should I prepare for my appointment?

Please arrive with clean lashes and brows free from makeup, oils, or heavy skincare products where possible.

Avoid waterproof mascara before lash treatments.

How should I prepare for my LVL Lash treatment?

Please arrive with clean lashes and no eye makeup where possible.

Avoid waterproof mascara for 24–48 hours beforehand as residue can affect the lifting process.

Contact lenses will need to be removed during treatment.

Can I wear makeup after treatment?

Yes, although we recommend following the advised aftercare period before applying makeup to the treated area.

Your therapist will guide you based on the treatment you have received.

Can I wear mascara after an LVL treatment?

Yes — once the initial 24 hour aftercare period has passed.

Many clients find they need less mascara after LVL due to the lifted appearance of the lashes.

Will lash lifting damage my natural lashes?

When carried out professionally and following correct aftercare, LVL treatments should not damage the natural lashes.

Can I have LVL if I wear lash extensions?

LVL treatments cannot be performed over lash extensions.

Extensions must be professionally removed before your appointment.

RESULTS & AFTERCARE

.

How long do LVL lashes and HD Brows last?

Results vary from person to person, but generally:

LVL lashes last around 6–8 weeks

HD Brows usually last around 4–6 weeks depending on skin type, lifestyle and aftercare

Are lash and brow treatments suitable for sensitive eyes or skin?

Many treatments can still be adapted for sensitive clients, however please let us know about any allergies, sensitivities, medications, or eye conditions before booking so we can advise appropriately.

What aftercare should I follow after LVL or Brow treatments?

For the first 24 hours after treatment, avoid:

steam

saunas

swimming

excessive heat

rubbing the area

waterproof makeup

oil based products directly on the lashes or brows

This helps maintain the best possible results.
