Hair
• 1) How often do I need to relax my hair?
It all depends on the texture of your hair and how quickly it grows. Normally, your hair should be relaxed every:
• 8 weeks if your natural hair is coarse
• 12 weeks if your natural hair is fine.
However if your hair is not relaxed on time or too soon, it make cause breakage so it is better to come in to the salon if you are not sure whether your hair is due for relaxing.
• 2) How do I know which relaxer to use and what strength?
It all depends on your scalp and hair texture. You need a gentle relaxer if you have a tender scalp, so make sure you let the stylist know this. You need a regular relaxer if your hair is normal. If your hair is course, you will need a super strength relaxer.
• 3) I don’t know whether to relax my hair or texturize it?
This can only be decide when you come in to the salon for a consultation where we listen to the king of styles you want to achieve and the kind of hair that you have.
• 4) How often do I need to treat my hair?
You need to treat your hair once a month even if it feels fine and every two weeks when it’s breaking or dry.
• 5) How do I know which product to treat my hair?
Come in to the salon and the Hairdresser will have a look at your hair and advice you with the right product for your hair.
• 6) What type of Hair can I use for my extension?
There are different types of hair that you can use. But it all depends on the type of extension that you want to do. However, there are 4 grades of hair extensions that you can buy.

Beauty
• 10) How do I look after my Nails?
Leave adequate time after your nail treatment to allow your nails to dry before leaving the salon.
You must apply nail oil at least twice a day. This keeps the product flexible, helping to prevent lifting and dramatically reducing breakage of the nails.
Remember that your nails are much thinner and weaker than a nail extension. If you have removed your nail extension correctly, your natural nail will be exactly the same as before.
• 11) Do I have to wear a particular type of shoe when I am having a pedicure?
If possible, wear open toe shoes. In order to prolong the life of your vanish, wear gloves to perform any household or work related chores.
• 12) How often should I be having pedicures & manicures?
It is better to have manicure and pedicure at least once a month. It is more hygienic.
• 13) How do I look after my Lashes?
Do not wash eyes or shower and avoid crying, sweat, steam for 24 hours after lash application. Just wash around your eyelashes. Do not swim or spa for 48hours after lash application to allow adequate time for bonding. Be gentle with your lashes. Avoid rubbing and pulling your eyelashes. Avoid oil-base and waterproof mascara. Only specially formulated mascara for extentions can be worn. Regular mascara is not recommended for use as it will dissolve the bond with the lashes. Gently remove mascara with water-based eye makeup remover. Apply mascara on the tips only. Avoid any creams, eye makeup removers, lotions, sunscreens or cleansers containing oils on or near eyelashes. Oil can loosen the bond of lash extensions. Care must be taken to apply eye cream sparingly with avoidance of the lash line area. Do not use an eyelash curler on your extensions.
• 14) What do I do if some fell out?
If some of your eyelashes fell out, you can come back to the salon to do a top up / refill. We charge a little amount for this however, if the eyelash extension came off the day after you did it, then we refill them free of charging given that you came in straight away (next day after you did your lashes).

It all depends on how quickly your hair grows. Usually every 2-3 weeks.
• 18) How long does the Brow tinting last?
This depends on how much hair you have on your eyebrows. The more the hair, the longer and how long you leave the colour on when you have just done it before wiping it, is also a contributing factor. On average, the tint lasts for about a week.
• 19) How do I know whether I am allergic to waxing?
If it was your first time to do waxing and you later get big bumps or severe redness. You might be better off threading.
• 20) How often do I need to do my body wax
