important info
Before your Hair & Makeup appointment
Have some reference photos saved on your phone of the looks you’re wanting to achieve
For optimal application of makeup, please make sure to arrive with clean skin
If you are considering getting lash extensions ahead of your appointment, we would advise against as we can create a custom lash via individuals or a strip lash that best suits your eye shape on the day
If you already have lash extensions, we will be able to work with these on the day, however please keep in mind that it could affect the look you’re wanting to achieve
Please avoid getting any lash lifts prior to your appointment as this can prevent us from applying false lashes on the day
Allow extra time for parking as Ross Street can get quite busy
If you decide to park on the street, please have CelloPark downloaded and ready to go as it can take up to 5 minutes to set up
Wear a shirt or outfit that’s easy to change in and out of (preferably something that buttons up)
It can get quite cold in our studio, so if you tend to get a bit chilly we highly recommend wearing a jumper to your appointment
Prepping your hair for optimal hairstyling
Please arrive with clean dry hair with no product
For optimal styling we recommend two shampoos and conditioner from mids to ends
Avoid any heat styling e.g. straightening and/ or smooth blow dries (rough blow dries are okay)
Curly/ textured hair - if you are wanting a smooth style, please reach out to your artist in case we need to give you specific prep instructions
before your nail appointment
Have some reference photos of the design you’re wanting
Make sure you have booked in the right service
If you have pre-existing nails e.g. from another nail tech) you will need to book in a removal in conjunction to your appointment (please note, this does not apply for returning clients wanting an infill)
If you would like a colours gel polish or art added your BIAB manicure, please be sure to book the appropriate service as they are an add on to your BIAB manicure
If you have made a booking for nail art, please send any info pics prior to your appointment so that your technician can allocate enough time and make sure that the inspo will be achievable on the day of your booking
