Extensions

We offer a wide variety of hair extensions at Mariettas Hair Design Studio because not all options fit ALL. We like to provide extension services that are custom to your needs as a guest. It is best to book a free consultation with our master certified hair extension specialist to determine which method will be best for you based on your hair type, level of activity, and overall desired outcome.

Eyelash Extension Aftercare:

• Do not get lashes wet for the first 24 hours after every appointment
• When using any eye/face products, make sure they are oil free
• NO mascara or eyelash curlers
• Carefully cleanse lashes every few days, using a q-tip and a gentle soap/cleanser
• Be careful to avoid pulling on extensions/rubbing eyes
• Gently brush through lashes daily with the mascara wands given
• NO tanning in any UV beds within 24 hours of a lash appointment
• Be careful near ovens/grills or when smoking – fire/heat will singe the lashes
• To extend/maintain the life of your lashes, a lash fill is recommended every 2-3 weeks

Lash Lift Aftercare:

• Avoid getting lashes wet for 24 hours
• Avoid sleeping on your tummy, side, arm, hand, or side of pillow for 24 hours
• Condition the lashes nightly with an oil (like castor) and use a clean spoolie to brush though
• Maintenance appointments every 6-8 weeks

Hair Extension Aftercare:

• Wash with sulfate free shampoo and conditioner, avoid excess tugging and pulling to avoid unnecessary stress on the extensions
• Brush your hair gently a few times a day to prevent tangles. Start from the ends and work your way up to the roots. Holding the roots will minimize tension on the bonds
• Avoid excess heat on the extensions, always applying a heat protectant and using hot tools on a low setting
• Avoid tight hairstyles that pull or put excess tension on extensions
• Braid or loosely tie your hair before bed to prevent tangling and friction. A bonnet or satin scarf is always recommended. Never go to bed with wet extensions.
• Chlorine and Saltwater can damage the hair, so shampoo & condition your extensions thoroughly after swimming.
• Schedule appointments with your stylist every 4-8 weeks to maintain the integrity of your extensions, but more importantly your hair.

Microblading Aftercare:

Day One (Day of Treatment): Wait 1-2 hours and let the wounds weep lymph. After 2 hours you must wipe off the lymph with a moistened cotton pad, then apply a thin layer of Aquaphor with a cotton swab. Do this every hour on the hour until bed.

At night wash the treated area with warm water and mild soap like Cetaphil. Wash your hands with a disinfectant soap before washing your eyebrows and/or applying the post-care cream.

NOTE: Too much Aquaphor will cause the pigment to scab. Aquaphor is available in the skin care section if any drug store.

Day Two – Nine: Repeat the wiping of the brows at least 2 times a day. At night wash the treated area with warm water and mild soap like Cetaphil. Wash your hands with a disinfectant soap before washing your eyebrows and/or applying the post-care cream.

The following MUST BE AVOIDED during all nine days post-Microblading procedure:

• Sweating. It is recommended not to sweat for the first 10 days after the procedure. Sweat is salt and can prematurely fade the treated area.
• Practicing sports
• Swimming
• Hot sauna, hot bath, or Jacuzzi
• Sun tanning or salon tanning. Absolutely No Sun, sweating,or tanning prior to the procedure or after the procedure for 2 weeks. Do not have a tan/sunburn on your face prior to your procedure. The tan will exfoliate, taking color with it as it fades.
• Any laser or chemical treatments or peeling, and/or creams containing Retain-A or Glycolic Acid on the face or neck.
• Picking, peeling, or scratching of the micro pigmented area in order to avoid scarring of the area or removal of the pigment.
• Performing tasks related to heavy household cleaning such as garage or basement cleaning where there is a lot of airborne debris
• Spicy foods
• Smoking
• Drinking alcohol in excess, as in may less to slow healing of wounds
• Driving in open air vehicles such as convertibles, boats, bicycles, or motorcycles
• Touching of the eyebrow area except for when rinsing and applying the post-care cream with a cotton swab
