Your appointment is the perfect time to relax and nap, which can be hard with your busy schedule. Consider it your “Me” time, and prepare to relax. Let the real world wait, and enjoy a nice cozy lash nap. I will have relaxing music playing and don’t mind headphones being put in or snores! (Seriously, snoring is like white noise to me now!)
Here are my top tips to help you get ready for the coziest lash nap you’ve ever had:
Avoid caffeine prior to appointment. It can make your eyes fluttery, which leads to fumes irritating the eyes, watering and can lead to retention issues. Not to mention I cannot apply lashes if your eyes are dancing. Treat yourself to a coffee or matcha after your service.
Spit out that gum!. Similar to caffeine it will wiggle your eyes (and move your mask up and down) and make it impossible to apply any extensions. I have mints if you need one.
Turn your phone off or on silent! Your eyes will be closed so you can’t see the screen anyways, and hearing your phone go off will add stress to your relaxation. Turn it off and relax - you deserve it! I have a UV Sanitizer you can pop your phone into, as well as chargers of all types.
Wear comfy clothes and shoes (see shoe policy). I want you to fully enjoy laying down in my cozy bed while getting your lash extensions (or other service) done! Slipping into something cozy before your appointment can help you really lean into taking a nap, which helps me lash you better and result in fuller lashes! Stretchy pants with a hoody are a fave of mine!
While no longer required, if you wish to, please wear a mask that has an adjustable nose band, any breath that comes up to your eye area is bad for your retention. My adhesive needs a particular humidity and temp to work properly, and your breath changes both. Not to meantion it can (and often does) come right up onto my face. If you can feel your breath on your eyes, or fog up glasses/sunglasses when your mask is on, you either need to tighten the nose band or wear a different mask.
Be sure to come in with squeaky clean lashes, Extensions don’t stick to dirty lashes!
Bring headphones, or enjoy the relaxing music I always have on in the background. We can chat and catch up prior to and after application, but napping during will help me to apply the lash extensions properly to ensure the best application and retention. Using your AirPods to listen to your fave audiobook, meditation, or podcast will help you relax and nap better.
Use the restroom prior to your service, there’s nothing worse than realizing you have a full bladder midway through your appointment! (Also, don’t chug water beforehand, there’s plenty of time in the day to stay hydrated!) Trust me, I’ve been there, having to open your eyes and make your way to the restroom mid appointment is no easy task.
Never had lashes done at Lash Nirvana? Take a peek at the aftercare, and my policies that way you can be prepared with any questions you may have! Also, be sure to check and fill out any relevant forms prior to your appointment to get maximum lashing time!
Take some nice deep breaths and relax while you get the best lash extensions Gig Harbor has to offer!
