FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Do I need to pay a deposit to book?

Yes — all bookings require a non-refundable deposit within 24 hours to secure your appointment. Your booking is not confirmed until the deposit is paid.

What’s your cancellation and rescheduling policy?

You can reschedule with 5+ days’ notice.

* 3–4 days’ notice: Deposit is lost

* Less than 48 hours: Full payment required
* Failure to pay will result in future appointments being cancelled and blocked from booking again.

What if I’m running late?

A 10-minute grace period is allowed. Any later, and your appointment may unfortunately need to be cancelled and the 48-hour policy will apply. Please plan ahead to avoid disappointment.

Do I need a patch test?

Yes — all new SPMU, Brow & Lash clients must have a patch test done at least 48 hours before treatment. This ensures your safety and suitability for the service. Contact directly to enquire regarding postal patch tests for SPMU.

Do I need to fill out a consent form for SPMU?

Yes — all new SPMU clients must complete a digital consent form at least 48 hours before the appointment. You won’t be treated without this.

Can I wear makeup to my appointment?

Please arrive makeup-free, especially around the treatment area. This allows us to use the full appointment time effectively and achieve better results.

Does semi-permanent makeup hurt?

Most clients feel only mild discomfort. We use high-quality numbing cream to keep you comfortable throughout. The sensation is often described as light scratching.

How long does microblading or lip blush last?

SPMU results typically last 12–24 months, depending on your skin, lifestyle, and aftercare. A top-up is required 4–8 weeks after the first session for best results. Annual top-up’s are recommended to maintain results.

What’s the healing time for SPMU?

Initial downtime is usually around 3-7 days post treatment until you can resume your usual routine, e.g. make-up, skincare on the treated area. The full healing cycle takes about 4–6 weeks. Expect minor redness, swelling, or flaking in the first few days. Full results appear after the skin has fully healed.

Can you work over old semi-permanent makeup?

Yes — but only after an assessment. In some cases, we may recommend saline or laser removal first if the old pigment is too dark, uneven, or saturated. If you have had previous semi-permanent make up that has not faded completely, please enquire with us directly about this prior to treatment.

How long do lash and brow treatments last?

* Wax & Tint, HD Brows, Hybrid Brows / Tint : 3–6 weeks depending on tint type

* Brow Lamination 6-12 weeks

* LVL Lashes: 6–12 weeks
Keeping up with regular appointments will maintain your look.

Is laser hair removal permanent?

Laser offers long-term hair reduction, not instant permanent removal. Most clients need 8-10 sessions, with occasional maintenance top-ups for best results.

Is laser hair removal suitable for all skin types?

Yes — we use technology that’s suitable for most skin tones and hair types. A patch test and consultation are required to ensure the right settings for you.

What happens if I don’t pay after cancelling late?

If payment isn’t made after a late cancellation, all future bookings will be cancelled, and you will be unable to book again. We strictly enforce this policy to protect our’s and our clients time.

Can I bring someone with me to my appointment?

To maintain a calm, focused environment, we kindly ask that you attend your appointment alone unless otherwise agreed. No children or guests in the treatment room, please. If you require a companion, carer or guardian to accompany you for accessibility reasons, please let us know in advance.
