Your first brow & lash appointment: what happens, step by step
Booking a brow or lash treatment for the first time? Here's exactly what happens – from choosing a time to the aftercare – so nothing is a surprise.
Answers from Nikola, brow & lash specialist at The Blink Beauty
1. Booking
You book online with Nikola's real free times and choose English or Polish. Nikola confirms every booking personally, and your confirmation tells you where to come.
2. Patch test (for tints)
Hybrid brows, lamination with tint and lash lifts include a tint, so you need a quick patch test at least 24 hours before if it's your first tint with Nikola or your last one with her was more than 6 months ago. Nikola arranges it with you. Lamination without tint doesn't need one.
3. Consultation
Nikola asks what result you like, explains the options and agrees the shape and finish with you before she starts. Tell her if your skin is sensitive so she can choose the gentlest approach.
4. The treatment
You relax with your eyes closed. Brow lamination and a classic lash lift each take about an hour; a Korean-inspired lift a little longer. Most clients find it relaxing.
5. Aftercare
The first 24 hours matter most: keep the treated area dry and away from steam, sauna, make-up and oily products. You get aftercare advice for your treatment, and you can wear mascara again from the day after a lash lift.
Questions
Do I need a patch test?

Can my appointment be in Polish?
Yes – you choose English or Polish when you book, and your emails and aftercare come in that language.
Does brow lamination hurt?
No – most clients find it relaxing. Tell Nikola if your skin is sensitive.
