PREVIOUS WORK ON THE EYEBROWS (TATTOO, MICROBLADING OR OTHER PERMANENT MAKE-UP)

We do not perform removals. We only accept corrections on previous work if it is very faded. The previous work must be faded by at least 70-90%. You must not have any scare tissue from your previous work as this will affect your healed results.

We do not touch-up another artist’s work as we all have different styles and patterns.

If you have previous work done and it’s very faded, please email us or direct message us on Instagram with a clear, close-up photo of your eyebrows with no make-up on so we can evaluate first before you book an appointment. Our email address is lashduplounge@yahoo.com & Instagram handle is @lashdupbeautylounge.

 

MOBILE PHONES

The use of mobile phones are restricted. We request that all mobile phones must be switched to off or silent in the treatment area.

 

If you do not have any of these conditions listed above and are a candidate for Powder/Ombré Brows, after you finish reading this Policy tab, please make sure to read over our Instructions tab.
