SHORT HAIR (Above Chin)
Unfortunately as we do not specialise in short hair cutting — we do not offer short hair cutting services above chin length.
We recommend our favourite short hair specialists at Small Batch Hair for anything shorter.

HAIR EXTENSIONS
Products:
All products (including shampoo, conditioner & styling products) MUST be free of proteins, keratin, amino acids & sulphates.
These ingredients will damage the integrity of all extensions.
Sunscreens can turn lighter extensions pink — avoid sunscreens with Avobenzone & Octocrylene.
Extensions aren’t nourished by your scalps natural oils — hydrate with serum / oils, for blonde hair use clear oils to avoid colour changes.
Protect:
To maintain strand integrity — brush knots out of your extensions before wetting / washing.
Wash 1 - 3 times per week — if daily washing is needed, wash only the crown or use dry shampoo.
Do not sleep with wet extensions — dry the scalp & top of the extensions to prevent shedding.
Get your extensions adjusted every 6 - 8 weeks to maintain their look & health.
Swimming:
Avoid Chlorine as it can dry out your hair, not just your extensions.
Use a mask or leave-in conditioner on your mid-lengths & ends when swimming.
Always rinse hair after swimming.

LASH AFTERCARE
Regular Brushing: Brush your lashes morning & night with your spoolie.
Be Gentle: Do not rub, tug or pull on the extension.
Avoid Mascara: If needed use only lash extension-safe mascara on the tips, not the base.
Regular Cleansing: Gently cleanse lashes every few days to remove oils & dirt.
No Oil-based Products: Use oil-free makeup removers & cleansers around your eyes.
Heat & Steam: Avoid direct heat & steam on lashes.
Refills: Stay on-top of your refill schedule!
