Brows, lashes and nails: what to check before you book

Brow, lash and nail appointments are popular for a reason. They also have practical details — timing, tests and aftercare — that are worth reading before you confirm.

Patch tests and timing

Tinting, lashes and some nail products may need a patch test in advance. If the listing mentions one, allow time before the main appointment. Arriving for colour without a test can mean the treatment cannot go ahead.

Choose the service that matches the result

A brow shape is different from a lamination. A classic lash set is different from a lift. Read the duration and what is included, then ask if you are unsure which name matches the look you want.

Aftercare that affects the result

Steam, exercise, oil-based products or swimming can affect some treatments in the first day. Ask what to avoid so you are not surprised after you leave.
