Patch test before a brow or lash tint
A patch test is a quick check that your skin is happy with the products, done at least 24 hours before your appointment. It takes a few minutes and Nikola arranges it with you.
When you need one
You need a patch test if it's your first tint or lash lift with Nikola, or your last one with her was more than 6 months ago.
Which treatments need it
Hybrid brows, brow lamination with tint and both lash lifts (tint is included) need a patch test. Brow lamination without tint doesn't.
How it works
It takes a few minutes and needs to be done at least 24 hours before your appointment. Nikola arranges it when she confirms your booking.
Tell Nikola about sensitive skin
If your skin is sensitive or you've reacted to a treatment before, mention it when you book or in your consultation form so Nikola can choose the gentlest approach.
Questions
Do I need a patch test for brow lamination?
Only if you add a tint. Brow lamination without tint doesn't need one.
How long before my appointment?
At least 24 hours before. Nikola arranges it with you when she confirms your booking.
