Threading

Threading is an ancient technique originating from the Middle East and South Asia, for eyebrow shaping and other areas of hair removal for peach fuzz free skin leading to finer, softer and smoother regrowth. It provides precise control for shaping perfect eyebrows and is gentle on skin, giving you a smooth finish for up to five weeks. This technique has proven great results, alternative to waxing and plucking. However, there are still many people that do not know about threading and how it can improve their beauty regime.

Benefits of threading

Unlike other hair removal methods, threading does not use chemicals and is safe, therefore it minimises the risks of irritation. If you are prone to skin sensitivity, itchiness or redness this technique of hair removal is beneficial for you. This method of removal is accurate, individual hairs can be targeted but multiple hair can be targeted removing one clean line of hair at once. As threading weakens the hair follicle it causes the growth to be less dense over time providing longer lasting results.

1. How is threading done?
A. Threading is done using a great technique of using a special 100% sterile thread, which is double-twisted and glided along the skin to gently remove unwanted hair from the root.

2. Is there anything I need to do before my threading treatment? Threading Pre-care?
A. We recommend that you exfoliate the area to be threaded at least three days before your treatment, this allows any growth which is still visible but beneath the skins surface to be threaded for a clean finish. To achieve the best results avoid plucking and waxing, this allows us to catch hair growth at all stages in one go until your next visit! Try to avoid make up on the area, this makes the threading process easier and more precise.

3. How long does threading last?
A. Threading can generally last up to 3-4 weeks, depending on your hair type and area of the face treated. Full hair growth can be from 2-5 weeks.

4. Is threading painful?
A. Threading is gentle on the skin, but our pain tolerance varies. Most of our clients tell us they feel a slight discomfort during the process, and some tell us there is no discomfort at all!

5. How old must I be to have this done?
A. From age of 11+ you can receive this service with consent of parent or guardian.

5. Can I thread more than just my eyebrows?
A. Threading can be done on any part of the face, from upper lip, chin and side of face.

6. I am using Retin A/Accutane, is threading suitable for me?
A. Threading is your best choice of hair removal as taking these medications can cause your skin to become thin and sensitive. Dermatologists also approve of threading, as this does not break your skin, nor pull it like waxing methods. Threading is a great method for all skin types and a safe process to carry out.

7. Are there any possibilities of cross contamination with threading?
A. With this method we use special 100% sterile thread, which is glided over the area. Once your session has ended the thread used is disposed of straight away, therefore you never have to worry about passing bacteria from one person to another.

8. What should I be doing after my treatment, are there any restrictions? /Threading aftercare
A. We recommend washing your face with cold water after your threading, this minimises post treatment redness and apply Aloe Vera gel to soothe the area treated. If you experience irritation or red bumps on your skin at times this is normal as it’s our body’s natural way of protecting us, rub some ice cubes on the area for a couple of minutes. For at least 24 hours after your treatment, avoid perfumed products, direct sunlight/fake tan, chlorinated water, and steam as the area will be highly sensitive. Exposure mentioned can cause irritation, sunburn and inflammation.

1. How is tinting done?
A. Tinting is similar as having your hair dyed. Firstly, petroleum jelly is applied to the skin around the area to stop the dye from staining your skin. A semi-permanent dye is custom mixed to get the perfect shade for you. The tint is then left on for different amounts of time to achieve the right shade. This process can take up to 5-10 minutes depending on your hair type.

2. Is there anything I need to do before my tinting treatment? Tinting Pre-care?
A. Firstly, please make sure you are aware of the patch test requirements. If you are having your eyelashes tinted and wear contact lenses, bring your solution and case with you to pop your contacts in for the time you are having the tinting treatment. Make sure you have clean lashes and brows free from any residue from any oils and tanning products. This will allow your tint to absorb properly.

3. How long does tinting last?
A. Tinting can usually last up to 3-4 weeks, this varies from person to person depending on your skincare routine, skin type and your exposure to the sun which fades the pigment quickly. The tint fades away naturally and we recommend a touch up every 4 weeks.

A. Please let your therapist know what results you are looking for. Our therapists will offer the best advice on what shade of tint to opt for, best suiting your hair and skin tone. Ideally you should opt for the colour to be 1-2 shades lighter/darker than your hair colour.

6. Do I need a patch test for tinting?
A. As our client your health & safety is our top priority. Yes, you require a patch test 48 hours prior to the treatment, if you haven’t had the tint treatment carried out from our salons before or within the last 6 months and no changes in your medical history. The patch test involves having a small amount of dye applied behind your ear, this process only takes seconds to do this. Please don’t get annoyed if you haven’t factored this in time, you may have seen horrific things happening, therefore this cannot be skipped. You can pop into any of your nearest elegance salons/bars at any time to have this done.

7. I am pregnant, is this suitable for me?
A. We encourage clients to avoid tinting during the time of pregnancy, as a reaction from the tint is more likely to occur due to hormonal changes. If this did happen, you would not be able to take medication due to pregnancy.

  • Avoid eye make up for 12 hours

Waxing

Waxing is a safe method to temporarily remove unwanted hair for up to 6 weeks. Waxing produces smoother results as it removes hair from the roots resulting in slower regrowth, unlike shaving which the hair grows back within days.

The procedure involves tint particles of pigment being placed under the dermis layer of skin.

The machine is used to create perfect crisp hair strokes or powder brows.

Get in touch with the team at your local Elegance Beauty salon for more information or book your threading appointment online today!

A patch test is required minimum of 24 hours prior to the treatment. A pigment 'Patch Test' is performed by placing a tiny amount of pigment into the skin usually in the hair line behind the ear, this is to ensure there is no allergy to the pigment.

You have the option of whether you want a natural or dramatic result. Once the process has been explained and you have agreed to the design, you will be required to fill in consent form and medical questionnaire. Once your new brows are complete you will be given written information on aftercare and the healing process.

7. How long will it take for my brows to heal?
A. Healing time varies from individual to individual. Immediately after your Microblading procedure your brows will appear significantly darker and more defined than perhaps your desired look. Over the next 7 days, scabs will begin to form. Let them flake off naturally on their own, do not pick scabs. There will be pigment within the scab and you do not want to pull any pigment out of your skin prematurely as this will result in patchy brows. Usually, it takes about 7-14 days for the top layer of skin to crust and heal. Slowly the skin cells push the pigment back to the upper layers. Although your skin may look healed after this time, the skin underneath will still be continuing to heal. The complete healing process takes approximately 5-6 weeks before you will see the true results. The Perfecting Session is then performed to perfect and complete the brows.

8. How long does permanent makeup last?
A. Permanent cosmetics are permanent in that you will always have a permanent marking on your skin. However, over time, you will notice a gradual softening of colour occurring each year. Colour boosts are recommended yearly to those who wish to keep their permanent makeup looking as fresh as possible.

9. What should I be doing after my treatment, are there any restrictions? Aftercare
A.
  • Avoid getting the area wet for up to 10 days- keep your face dry during a shower
  • Do no wear make up for at least a week, as the pigment is still settling into the skin
  • Do not pick scabs or scratch the area - this could lead to permanent scarring
  • Apply a vitamin A+E to the area or petroleum jelly for 10 days
  • For 7 days avoid any sauna, steaming and exercise until the area has healed and you have your top up appointment


10. What should I be doing after my treatment, are there any restrictions? Waxing aftercare

Threading

Threading is an ancient technique originating from the Middle East and South Asia, for eyebrow shaping and other areas of hair removal for peach fuzz free skin leading to finer, softer and smoother regrowth. It provides precise control for shaping perfect eyebrows and is gentle on skin, giving you a smooth finish for up to five weeks. This technique has proven great results, alternative to waxing and plucking. However, there are still many people that do not know about threading and how it can improve their beauty regime.

Benefits of threading

Unlike other hair removal methods, threading does not use chemicals and is safe, therefore it minimises the risks of irritation. If you are prone to skin sensitivity, itchiness or redness this technique of hair removal is beneficial for you. This method of removal is accurate, individual hairs can be targeted but multiple hair can be targeted removing one clean line of hair at once. As threading weakens the hair follicle it causes the growth to be less dense over time providing longer lasting results.

Get in touch with the team at your local Elegance Beauty salon for more information or book your threading appointment online today!

1. How is threading done?
A. Threading is done using a great technique of using a special 100% sterile thread, which is double-twisted and glided along the skin to gently remove unwanted hair from the root.

2. Is there anything I need to do before my threading treatment? Threading Pre-care?
A. We recommend that you exfoliate the area to be threaded at least three days before your treatment, this allows any growth which is still visible but beneath the skins surface to be threaded for a clean finish. To achieve the best results avoid plucking and waxing, this allows us to catch hair growth at all stages in one go until your next visit! Try to avoid make up on the area, this makes the threading process easier and more precise.

3. How long does threading last?
A. Threading can generally last up to 3-4 weeks, depending on your hair type and area of the face treated. Full hair growth can be from 2-5 weeks.

4. Is threading painful?
A. Threading is gentle on the skin, but our pain tolerance varies. Most of our clients tell us they feel a slight discomfort during the process, and some tell us there is no discomfort at all!

5. How old must I be to have this done?
A. From age of 11+ you can receive this service with consent of parent or guardian.

5. Can I thread more than just my eyebrows?
A. Threading can be done on any part of the face, from upper lip, chin and side of face.

6. I am using Retin A/Accutane, is threading suitable for me?
A. Threading is your best choice of hair removal as taking these medications can cause your skin to become thin and sensitive. Dermatologists also approve of threading, as this does not break your skin, nor pull it like waxing methods. Threading is a great method for all skin types and a safe process to carry out.

7. Are there any possibilities of cross contamination with threading?
A. With this method we use special 100% sterile thread, which is glided over the area. Once your session has ended the thread used is disposed of straight away, therefore you never have to worry about passing bacteria from one person to another.

8. What should I be doing after my treatment, are there any restrictions? /Threading aftercare
A. We recommend washing your face with cold water after your threading, this minimises post treatment redness and apply Aloe Vera gel to soothe the area treated. If you experience irritation or red bumps on your skin at times this is normal as it’s our body’s natural way of protecting us, rub some ice cubes on the area for a couple of minutes. For at least 24 hours after your treatment, avoid perfumed products, direct sunlight/fake tan, chlorinated water, and steam as the area will be highly sensitive. Exposure mentioned can cause irritation, sunburn and inflammation.

Waxing

Waxing is a safe method to temporarily remove unwanted hair for up to 6 weeks. Waxing produces smoother results as it removes hair from the roots resulting in slower regrowth, unlike shaving which the hair grows back within days.

What are the benefits of Waxing?

Waxing slows down re-growth and you may find the hair to be finer. As there are minimal chemicals used in waxing, this rarely causes skin irritation and allergies. As you may know shaving causes the skin to be rough and stubbly, waxing removes the hair from the root providing smooth exfoliated skin and longer lasting results.

A paper strip is applied and pressed firmly, adhering the strip to the wax it is then pulled off against the direction of the hair growth. The hot wax method is done the same way, but without the use of a paper strips, the wax is self-setting and pulled off against the direction of the hair growth.

Semi Permanent Make Up

Semi Permanent Make up is also known as micropigmentation, which is a form of temporary cosmetic tattoo which allows you to have long lasting lip colour, eyeliner, eyebrows contour and colour. The procedure involves tint particles of pigment being placed under the dermis layer of skin. Semi permanent makeup is done with a digital machine that uses a disposable needle cartridge to introduce pigments to the skin. The machine is used to create perfect crisp hair strokes or powder brows.

Get in touch with the team at your local Elegance Beauty salon for more information or book your threading appointment online today!

A patch test is required minimum of 24 hours prior to the treatment. A pigment 'Patch Test' is performed by placing a tiny amount of pigment into the skin usually in the hair line behind the ear, this is to ensure there is no allergy to the pigment.

1. What should I expect during the treatment?
A. Your treatment will begin with a consultation in our clinic discussing the shape and the colour of your preference to ensure a first class result! Like all of our procedures, everything is discussed and pencilled in, prior to starting, to ensure that you have total control with the style, colour and shape of your brows. You have the option of whether you want a natural or dramatic result. Once the process has been explained and you have agreed to the design, you will be required to fill in consent form and medical questionnaire. Once your new brows are complete you will be given written information on aftercare and the healing process.

2. Is this suitable for me?
A. It can restore confidence if you have:
  • Alopecia
  • Allergies
  • Sensitive skin to make up
  • Involved in swimming and sports
  • In need of reconstructed enhancement


3. How old must I be to have this done?
A. From age of 18+ you can receive this service.

A. Very little discomfort is experienced during the procedure. Topical anaesthetics can be used of a superior grade that are extremely effective

5. How long does a procedure take?

7. How long will it take for my brows to heal?
A. Healing time varies from individual to individual. Immediately after your Microblading procedure your brows will appear significantly darker and more defined than perhaps your desired look. Over the next 7 days, scabs will begin to form. Let them flake off naturally on their own, do not pick scabs. There will be pigment within the scab and you do not want to pull any pigment out of your skin prematurely as this will result in patchy brows. Usually, it takes about 7-14 days for the top layer of skin to crust and heal. Slowly the skin cells push the pigment back to the upper layers. Although your skin may look healed after this time, the skin underneath will still be continuing to heal. The complete healing process takes approximately 5-6 weeks before you will see the true results. The Perfecting Session is then performed to perfect and complete the brows.

8. How long does permanent makeup last?
A. Permanent cosmetics are permanent in that you will always have a permanent marking on your skin. However, over time, you will notice a gradual softening of colour occurring each year. Colour boosts are recommended yearly to those who wish to keep their permanent makeup looking as fresh as possible.

9. What should I be doing after my treatment, are there any restrictions? Aftercare
A.
  • Avoid getting the area wet for up to 10 days- keep your face dry during a shower
  • Do no wear make up for at least a week, as the pigment is still settling into the skin
  • Do not pick scabs or scratch the area - this could lead to permanent scarring
  • Apply a vitamin A+E to the area or petroleum jelly for 10 days
  • For 7 days avoid any sauna, steaming and exercise until the area has healed and you have your top up appointment


10. What should I be doing after my treatment, are there any restrictions? Waxing aftercare
A. We recommend you wear clean, lose fit clothing after your waxing treatment, and apply the products of which your therapist will let you know about.

For at least 24 hours after your treatment, avoid perfumed products/deodorants, direct sunlight/fake tan, chlorinated water, steam, make up, rubbing or scratching the area as your skin will be highly sensitive. Avoid exercising for 24 hours as sweating may cause the skin to be itchy. Exposure mentioned can cause irritation and inflammation.

Threading

Threading is an ancient technique originating from the Middle East and South Asia, for eyebrow shaping and other areas of hair removal for peach fuzz free skin leading to finer, softer and smoother regrowth. It provides precise control for shaping perfect eyebrows and is gentle on skin, giving you a smooth finish for up to five weeks. This technique has proven great results, alternative to waxing and plucking. However, there are still many people that do not know about threading and how it can improve their beauty regime.

Benefits of threading

Unlike other hair removal methods, threading does not use chemicals and is safe, therefore it minimises the risks of irritation. If you are prone to skin sensitivity, itchiness or redness this technique of hair removal is beneficial for you. This method of removal is accurate, individual hairs can be targeted but multiple hair can be targeted removing one clean line of hair at once. As threading weakens the hair follicle it causes the growth to be less dense over time providing longer lasting results.

Get in touch with the team at your local Elegance Beauty salon for more information or book your threading appointment online today!

1. How is threading done?
A. Threading is done using a great technique of using a special 100% sterile thread, which is double-twisted and glided along the skin to gently remove unwanted hair from the root.

2. Is there anything I need to do before my threading treatment? Threading Pre-care?
A. We recommend that you exfoliate the area to be threaded at least three days before your treatment, this allows any growth which is still visible but beneath the skins surface to be threaded for a clean finish. To achieve the best results avoid plucking and waxing, this allows us to catch hair growth at all stages in one go until your next visit! Try to avoid make up on the area, this makes the threading process easier and more precise.

3. How long does threading last?
A. Threading can generally last up to 3-4 weeks, depending on your hair type and area of the face treated. Full hair growth can be from 2-5 weeks.

4. Is threading painful?
A. Threading is gentle on the skin, but our pain tolerance varies. Most of our clients tell us they feel a slight discomfort during the process, and some tell us there is no discomfort at all!

5. How old must I be to have this done?
A. From age of 11+ you can receive this service with consent of parent or guardian.

5. Can I thread more than just my eyebrows?
A. Threading can be done on any part of the face, from upper lip, chin and side of face.

6. I am using Retin A/Accutane, is threading suitable for me?
A. Threading is your best choice of hair removal as taking these medications can cause your skin to become thin and sensitive. Dermatologists also approve of threading, as this does not break your skin, nor pull it like waxing methods. Threading is a great method for all skin types and a safe process to carry out.

7. Are there any possibilities of cross contamination with threading?
A. With this method we use special 100% sterile thread, which is glided over the area. Once your session has ended the thread used is disposed of straight away, therefore you never have to worry about passing bacteria from one person to another.

8. What should I be doing after my treatment, are there any restrictions? /Threading aftercare
A. We recommend washing your face with cold water after your threading, this minimises post treatment redness and apply Aloe Vera gel to soothe the area treated. If you experience irritation or red bumps on your skin at times this is normal as it’s our body’s natural way of protecting us, rub some ice cubes on the area for a couple of minutes. For at least 24 hours after your treatment, avoid perfumed products, direct sunlight/fake tan, chlorinated water, and steam as the area will be highly sensitive. Exposure mentioned can cause irritation, sunburn and inflammation.

Get in touch with the team at your local Elegance Beauty salon for more information or book your threading appointment online today!

1. How is tinting done?
A. Tinting is similar as having your hair dyed. Firstly, petroleum jelly is applied to the skin around the area to stop the dye from staining your skin. A semi-permanent dye is custom mixed to get the perfect shade for you. The tint is then left on for different amounts of time to achieve the right shade. This process can take up to 5-10 minutes depending on your hair type.

2. Is there anything I need to do before my tinting treatment? Tinting Pre-care?
A. Firstly, please make sure you are aware of the patch test requirements. If you are having your eyelashes tinted and wear contact lenses, bring your solution and case with you to pop your contacts in for the time you are having the tinting treatment. Make sure you have clean lashes and brows free from any residue from any oils and tanning products. This will allow your tint to absorb properly.

3. How long does tinting last?
A. Tinting can usually last up to 3-4 weeks, this varies from person to person depending on your skincare routine, skin type and your exposure to the sun which fades the pigment quickly. The tint fades away naturally and we recommend a touch up every 4 weeks.

4. How old must I be to have this done?
A. From age of 16+ you can receive this service.

5. Can I tint more than just my eyebrows?
A. Tinting can be done on your eyebrows and eyelashes only.

5. Can I choose which colour I want? I don’t want to go too dark!
A. Please let your therapist know what results you are looking for. Our therapists will offer the best advice on what shade of tint to opt for, best suiting your hair and skin tone. Ideally you should opt for the colour to be 1-2 shades lighter/darker than your hair colour.

6. Do I need a patch test for tinting?
A. As our client your health & safety is our top priority. Yes, you require a patch test 48 hours prior to the treatment, if you haven’t had the tint treatment carried out from our salons before or within the last 6 months and no changes in your medical history. The patch test involves having a small amount of dye applied behind your ear, this process only takes seconds to do this. Please don’t get annoyed if you haven’t factored this in time, you may have seen horrific things happening, therefore this cannot be skipped. You can pop into any of your nearest elegance salons/bars at any time to have this done.

7. I am pregnant, is this suitable for me?
A. We encourage clients to avoid tinting during the time of pregnancy, as a reaction from the tint is more likely to occur due to hormonal changes. If this did happen, you would not be able to take medication due to pregnancy.

8. What should I be doing after my treatment, are there any restrictions?
A. Tinting aftercare
  • Avoid eye make up for 12 hours
  • Avoid/touching or rubbing your eyes straight after the treatment
  • For 24 hours avoid sauna, swimming, and sunbeds
  • Although we do make sure every trace of dye is removed, it is possible that residue may still remain

Semi Permanent Make Up

Semi Permanent Make up is also known as micropigmentation, which is a form of temporary cosmetic tattoo which allows you to have long lasting lip colour, eyeliner, eyebrows contour and colour. The procedure involves tint particles of pigment being placed under the dermis layer of skin. Semi permanent makeup is done with a digital machine that uses a disposable needle cartridge to introduce pigments to the skin. The machine is used to create perfect crisp hair strokes or powder brows.

Get in touch with the team at your local Elegance Beauty salon for more information or book your threading appointment online today!

A patch test is required minimum of 24 hours prior to the treatment. A pigment 'Patch Test' is performed by placing a tiny amount of pigment into the skin usually in the hair line behind the ear, this is to ensure there is no allergy to the pigment.

1. What should I expect during the treatment?
A. Your treatment will begin with a consultation in our clinic discussing the shape and the colour of your preference to ensure a first class result! Like all of our procedures, everything is discussed and pencilled in, prior to starting, to ensure that you have total control with the style, colour and shape of your brows. You have the option of whether you want a natural or dramatic result. Once the process has been explained and you have agreed to the design, you will be required to fill in consent form and medical questionnaire. Once your new brows are complete you will be given written information on aftercare and the healing process.

2. Is this suitable for me?
A. It can restore confidence if you have:
  • Alopecia
  • Allergies
  • Sensitive skin to make up
  • Involved in swimming and sports
  • In need of reconstructed enhancement


3. How old must I be to have this done?
A. From age of 18+ you can receive this service.

7. How long will it take for my brows to heal?
A. Healing time varies from individual to individual. Immediately after your Microblading procedure your brows will appear significantly darker and more defined than perhaps your desired look. Over the next 7 days, scabs will begin to form. Let them flake off naturally on their own, do not pick scabs. There will be pigment within the scab and you do not want to pull any pigment out of your skin prematurely as this will result in patchy brows. Usually, it takes about 7-14 days for the top layer of skin to crust and heal. Slowly the skin cells push the pigment back to the upper layers. Although your skin may look healed after this time, the skin underneath will still be continuing to heal. The complete healing process takes approximately 5-6 weeks before you will see the true results. The Perfecting Session is then performed to perfect and complete the brows.

8. How long does permanent makeup last?
A. Permanent cosmetics are permanent in that you will always have a permanent marking on your skin. However, over time, you will notice a gradual softening of colour occurring each year. Colour boosts are recommended yearly to those who wish to keep their permanent makeup looking as fresh as possible.

9. What should I be doing after my treatment, are there any restrictions? Aftercare
A.
  • Avoid getting the area wet for up to 10 days- keep your face dry during a shower
  • Do no wear make up for at least a week, as the pigment is still settling into the skin
  • Do not pick scabs or scratch the area - this could lead to permanent scarring
  • Apply a vitamin A+E to the area or petroleum jelly for 10 days
  • For 7 days avoid any sauna, steaming and exercise until the area has healed and you have your top up appointment


10. What should I be doing after my treatment, are there any restrictions? Waxing aftercare
A. We recommend you wear clean, lose fit clothing after your waxing treatment, and apply the products of which your therapist will let you know about.

For at least 24 hours after your treatment, avoid perfumed products/deodorants, direct sunlight/fake tan, chlorinated water, steam, make up, rubbing or scratching the area as your skin will be highly sensitive. Avoid exercising for 24 hours as sweating may cause the skin to be itchy. Exposure mentioned can cause irritation and inflammation. If any irritation occurs apply a cool damp compress to the area, if these symptoms persist more than 24 hours, seek medical advice.

Threading

Threading is an ancient technique originating from the Middle East and South Asia, for eyebrow shaping and other areas of hair removal for peach fuzz free skin leading to finer, softer and smoother regrowth. It provides precise control for shaping perfect eyebrows and is gentle on skin, giving you a smooth finish for up to five weeks. This technique has proven great results, alternative to waxing and plucking. However, there are still many people that do not know about threading and how it can improve their beauty regime.

Benefits of threading

Unlike other hair removal methods, threading does not use chemicals and is safe, therefore it minimises the risks of irritation. If you are prone to skin sensitivity, itchiness or redness this technique of hair removal is beneficial for you. This method of removal is accurate, individual hairs can be targeted but multiple hair can be targeted removing one clean line of hair at once. As threading weakens the hair follicle it causes the growth to be less dense over time providing longer lasting results.

Get in touch with the team at your local Elegance Beauty salon for more information or book your threading appointment online today!

1. How is threading done?
A. Threading is done using a great technique of using a special 100% sterile thread, which is double-twisted and glided along the skin to gently remove unwanted hair from the root.

2. Is there anything I need to do before my threading treatment? Threading Pre-care?
A. We recommend that you exfoliate the area to be threaded at least three days before your treatment, this allows any growth which is still visible but beneath the skins surface to be threaded for a clean finish. To achieve the best results avoid plucking and waxing, this allows us to catch hair growth at all stages in one go until your next visit! Try to avoid make up on the area, this makes the threading process easier and more precise.

3. How long does threading last?
A. Threading can generally last up to 3-4 weeks, depending on your hair type and area of the face treated. Full hair growth can be from 2-5 weeks.

4. Is threading painful?
A. Threading is gentle on the skin, but our pain tolerance varies. Most of our clients tell us they feel a slight discomfort during the process, and some tell us there is no discomfort at all!

5. How old must I be to have this done?
A. From age of 11+ you can receive this service with consent of parent or guardian.

5. Can I thread more than just my eyebrows?
A. Threading can be done on any part of the face, from upper lip, chin and side of face.

6. I am using Retin A/Accutane, is threading suitable for me?
A. Threading is your best choice of hair removal as taking these medications can cause your skin to become thin and sensitive. Dermatologists also approve of threading, as this does not break your skin, nor pull it like waxing methods. Threading is a great method for all skin types and a safe process to carry out.

7. Are there any possibilities of cross contamination with threading?
A. With this method we use special 100% sterile thread, which is glided over the area. Once your session has ended the thread used is disposed of straight away, therefore you never have to worry about passing bacteria from one person to another.

8. What should I be doing after my treatment, are there any restrictions? /Threading aftercare
A. We recommend washing your face with cold water after your threading, this minimises post treatment redness and apply Aloe Vera gel to soothe the area treated. If you experience irritation or red bumps on your skin at times this is normal as it’s our body’s natural way of protecting us, rub some ice cubes on the area for a couple of minutes. For at least 24 hours after your treatment, avoid perfumed products, direct sunlight/fake tan, chlorinated water, and steam as the area will be highly sensitive. Exposure mentioned can cause irritation, sunburn and inflammation.

Get in touch with the team at your local Elegance Beauty salon for more information or book your threading appointment online today!

1. How is tinting done?
A. Tinting is similar as having your hair dyed. Firstly, petroleum jelly is applied to the skin around the area to stop the dye from staining your skin. A semi-permanent dye is custom mixed to get the perfect shade for you. The tint is then left on for different amounts of time to achieve the right shade. This process can take up to 5-10 minutes depending on your hair type.

2. Is there anything I need to do before my tinting treatment? Tinting Pre-care?
A. Firstly, please make sure you are aware of the patch test requirements. If you are having your eyelashes tinted and wear contact lenses, bring your solution and case with you to pop your contacts in for the time you are having the tinting treatment. Make sure you have clean lashes and brows free from any residue from any oils and tanning products. This will allow your tint to absorb properly.

3. How long does tinting last?
A. Tinting can usually last up to 3-4 weeks, this varies from person to person depending on your skincare routine, skin type and your exposure to the sun which fades the pigment quickly. The tint fades away naturally and we recommend a touch up every 4 weeks.

4. How old must I be to have this done?
A. From age of 16+ you can receive this service.

5. Can I tint more than just my eyebrows?
A. Tinting can be done on your eyebrows and eyelashes only.

5. Can I choose which colour I want? I don’t want to go too dark!
A. Please let your therapist know what results you are looking for. Our therapists will offer the best advice on what shade of tint to opt for, best suiting your hair and skin tone. Ideally you should opt for the colour to be 1-2 shades lighter/darker than your hair colour.

6. Do I need a patch test for tinting?
A. As our client your health & safety is our top priority. Yes, you require a patch test 48 hours prior to the treatment, if you haven’t had the tint treatment carried out from our salons before or within the last 6 months and no changes in your medical history. The patch test involves having a small amount of dye applied behind your ear, this process only takes seconds to do this. Please don’t get annoyed if you haven’t factored this in time, you may have seen horrific things happening, therefore this cannot be skipped. You can pop into any of your nearest elegance salons/bars at any time to have this done.

7. I am pregnant, is this suitable for me?
A. We encourage clients to avoid tinting during the time of pregnancy, as a reaction from the tint is more likely to occur due to hormonal changes. If this did happen, you would not be able to take medication due to pregnancy.

8. What should I be doing after my treatment, are there any restrictions?
A. Tinting aftercare
  • Avoid eye make up for 12 hours
  • Avoid/touching or rubbing your eyes straight after the treatment

Waxing

Waxing is a safe method to temporarily remove unwanted hair for up to 6 weeks. Waxing produces smoother results as it removes hair from the roots resulting in slower regrowth, unlike shaving which the hair grows back within days.

What are the benefits of Waxing?

Waxing slows down re-growth and you may find the hair to be finer. As there are minimal chemicals used in waxing, this rarely causes skin irritation and allergies. As you may know shaving causes the skin to be rough and stubbly, waxing removes the hair from the root providing smooth exfoliated skin and longer lasting results.

The procedure involves tint particles of pigment being placed under the dermis layer of skin. Semi permanent makeup is done with a digital machine that uses a disposable needle cartridge to introduce pigments to the skin. The machine is used to create perfect crisp hair strokes or powder brows.

Get in touch with the team at your local Elegance Beauty salon for more information or book your threading appointment online today!

A patch test is required minimum of 24 hours prior to the treatment. A pigment 'Patch Test' is performed by placing a tiny amount of pigment into the skin usually in the hair line behind the ear, this is to ensure there is no allergy to the pigment.

Like all of our procedures, everything is discussed and pencilled in, prior to starting, to ensure that you have total control with the style, colour and shape of your brows. You have the option of whether you want a natural or dramatic result. Once the process has been explained and you have agreed to the design, you will be required to fill in consent form and medical questionnaire. Once your new brows are complete you will be given written information on aftercare and the healing process.

7. How long will it take for my brows to heal?
A. Healing time varies from individual to individual. Immediately after your Microblading procedure your brows will appear significantly darker and more defined than perhaps your desired look. Over the next 7 days, scabs will begin to form. Let them flake off naturally on their own, do not pick scabs. There will be pigment within the scab and you do not want to pull any pigment out of your skin prematurely as this will result in patchy brows. Usually, it takes about 7-14 days for the top layer of skin to crust and heal. Slowly the skin cells push the pigment back to the upper layers. Although your skin may look healed after this time, the skin underneath will still be continuing to heal. The complete healing process takes approximately 5-6 weeks before you will see the true results. The Perfecting Session is then performed to perfect and complete the brows.

8. How long does permanent makeup last?
A. Permanent cosmetics are permanent in that you will always have a permanent marking on your skin. However, over time, you will notice a gradual softening of colour occurring each year. Colour boosts are recommended yearly to those who wish to keep their permanent makeup looking as fresh as possible.

  • Apply a vitamin A+E to the area or petroleum jelly for 10 days
  • For 7 days avoid any sauna, steaming and exercise until the area has healed and you have your top up appointment

Threading

Threading is an ancient technique originating from the Middle East and South Asia, for eyebrow shaping and other areas of hair removal for peach fuzz free skin leading to finer, softer and smoother regrowth. It provides precise control for shaping perfect eyebrows and is gentle on skin, giving you a smooth finish for up to five weeks. This technique has proven great results, alternative to waxing and plucking. However, there are still many people that do not know about threading and how it can improve their beauty regime.

Benefits of threading

Unlike other hair removal methods, threading does not use chemicals and is safe, therefore it minimises the risks of irritation. If you are prone to skin sensitivity, itchiness or redness this technique of hair removal is beneficial for you. This method of removal is accurate, individual hairs can be targeted but multiple hair can be targeted removing one clean line of hair at once. As threading weakens the hair follicle it causes the growth to be less dense over time providing longer lasting results.

Get in touch with the team at your local Elegance Beauty salon for more information or book your threading appointment online today!

1. How is threading done?
A. Threading is done using a great technique of using a special 100% sterile thread, which is double-twisted and glided along the skin to gently remove unwanted hair from the root.

2. Is there anything I need to do before my threading treatment? Threading Pre-care?
A. We recommend that you exfoliate the area to be threaded at least three days before your treatment, this allows any growth which is still visible but beneath the skins surface to be threaded for a clean finish. To achieve the best results avoid plucking and waxing, this allows us to catch hair growth at all stages in one go until your next visit! Try to avoid make up on the area, this makes the threading process easier and more precise.

3. How long does threading last?
A. Threading can generally last up to 3-4 weeks, depending on your hair type and area of the face treated. Full hair growth can be from 2-5 weeks.

4. Is threading painful?
A. Threading is gentle on the skin, but our pain tolerance varies. Most of our clients tell us they feel a slight discomfort during the process, and some tell us there is no discomfort at all!

5. How old must I be to have this done?
A. From age of 11+ you can receive this service with consent of parent or guardian.

5. Can I thread more than just my eyebrows?
A. Threading can be done on any part of the face, from upper lip, chin and side of face.

6. I am using Retin A/Accutane, is threading suitable for me?
A. Threading is your best choice of hair removal as taking these medications can cause your skin to become thin and sensitive. Dermatologists also approve of threading, as this does not break your skin, nor pull it like waxing methods. Threading is a great method for all skin types and a safe process to carry out.

7. Are there any possibilities of cross contamination with threading?
A. With this method we use special 100% sterile thread, which is glided over the area. Once your session has ended the thread used is disposed of straight away, therefore you never have to worry about passing bacteria from one person to another.

8. What should I be doing after my treatment, are there any restrictions? /Threading aftercare
A. We recommend washing your face with cold water after your threading, this minimises post treatment redness and apply Aloe Vera gel to soothe the area treated. If you experience irritation or red bumps on your skin at times this is normal as it’s our body’s natural way of protecting us, rub some ice cubes on the area for a couple of minutes. For at least 24 hours after your treatment, avoid perfumed products, direct sunlight/fake tan, chlorinated water, and steam as the area will be highly sensitive. Exposure mentioned can cause irritation, sunburn and inflammation.

1. How is tinting done?
A. Tinting is similar as having your hair dyed. Firstly, petroleum jelly is applied to the skin around the area to stop the dye from staining your skin. A semi-permanent dye is custom mixed to get the perfect shade for you. The tint is then left on for different amounts of time to achieve the right shade. This process can take up to 5-10 minutes depending on your hair type.

2. Is there anything I need to do before my tinting treatment? Tinting Pre-care?
A. Firstly, please make sure you are aware of the patch test requirements. If you are having your eyelashes tinted and wear contact lenses, bring your solution and case with you to pop your contacts in for the time you are having the tinting treatment.

6. Do I need a patch test for tinting?
A. As our client your health & safety is our top priority. Yes, you require a patch test 48 hours prior to the treatment, if you haven’t had the tint treatment carried out from our salons before or within the last 6 months and no changes in your medical history. The patch test involves having a small amount of dye applied behind your ear, this process only takes seconds to do this. Please don’t get annoyed if you haven’t factored this in time, you may have seen horrific things happening, therefore this cannot be skipped. You can pop into any of your nearest elegance salons/bars at any time to have this done.

7. I am pregnant, is this suitable for me?
A. We encourage clients to avoid tinting during the time of pregnancy, as a reaction from the tint is more likely to occur due to hormonal changes. If this did happen, you would not be able to take medication due to pregnancy.

Semi Permanent Make Up

Semi Permanent Make up is also known as micropigmentation, which is a form of temporary cosmetic tattoo which allows you to have long lasting lip colour, eyeliner, eyebrows contour and colour. The procedure involves tint particles of pigment being placed under the dermis layer of skin. Semi permanent makeup is done with a digital machine that uses a disposable needle cartridge to introduce pigments to the skin. The machine is used to create perfect crisp hair strokes or powder brows.

A patch test is required minimum of 24 hours prior to the treatment. A pigment 'Patch Test' is performed by placing a tiny amount of pigment into the skin usually in the hair line behind the ear, this is to ensure there is no allergy to the pigment.

1. What should I expect during the treatment?
A. Your treatment will begin with a consultation in our clinic discussing the shape and the colour of your preference to ensure a first class result! Like all of our procedures, everything is discussed and pencilled in, prior to starting, to ensure that you have total control with the style, colour and shape of your brows. You have the option of whether you want a natural or dramatic result. Once the process has been explained and you have agreed to the design, you will be required to fill in consent form and medical questionnaire. Once your new brows are complete you will be given written information on aftercare and the healing process.

2. Is this suitable for me?
A. It can restore confidence if you have:
  • Alopecia
  • Allergies
  • Sensitive skin to make up
  • Involved in swimming and sports
  • In need of reconstructed enhancement


3. How old must I be to have this done?
A. From age of 18+ you can receive this service.

4. Does it hurt?
A. Very little discomfort is experienced during the procedure. Topical anaesthetics can be used of a superior grade that are extremely effective

5. How long does a procedure take?

No, this treatment may not be suitable for you, the above may prevent us from carrying out your treatment.

7. How long will it take for my brows to heal?
A. Healing time varies from individual to individual. Immediately after your Microblading procedure your brows will appear significantly darker and more defined than perhaps your desired look. Over the next 7 days, scabs will begin to form. Let them flake off naturally on their own, do not pick scabs. There will be pigment within the scab and you do not want to pull any pigment out of your skin prematurely as this will result in patchy brows. Usually, it takes about 7-14 days for the top layer of skin to crust and heal. Slowly the skin cells push the pigment back to the upper layers. Although your skin may look healed after this time, the skin underneath will still be continuing to heal. The complete healing process takes approximately 5-6 weeks before you will see the true results. The Perfecting Session is then performed to perfect and complete the brows.

8. How long does permanent makeup last?
A. Permanent cosmetics are permanent in that you will always have a permanent marking on your skin. However, over time, you will notice a gradual softening of colour occurring each year. Colour boosts are recommended yearly to those who wish to keep their permanent makeup looking as fresh as possible.

9. What should I be doing after my treatment, are there any restrictions? Aftercare
A.
  • Avoid getting the area wet for up to 10 days- keep your face dry during a shower
  • Do no wear make up for at least a week, as the pigment is still settling into the skin
  • Do not pick scabs or scratch the area - this could lead to permanent scarring
  • Apply a vitamin A+E to the area or petroleum jelly for 10 days
  • For 7 days avoid any sauna, steaming and exercise until the area has healed and you have your top up appointment
