IF IN DOUBT, DO NOT TREAT – REFER THE CLIENT TO THEIR DOCTOR!
Pregnancy
We still lash pregnant ladies – But we make it very clear they MIGHT last just as well or they MIGHT fall out faster depending how there lash cycle changes due to their hormones.
After baby, a women hair normally shreds, this is the same for their eyelashes, so make your client aware this MAY happen after baby is born and up to 6 months.
Before we lash a pregnant lady, we will re-patch test her even if used to lashes as her hormones and sensitivity would have changed.
