Makeup Prep

• Bring Inspiration: If you have a particular look in mind, feel free to save a few reference photos on your phone so I can get a clear idea of your style.

• Fresh Face: Please arrive with clean skin and no makeup — it really helps with the overall finish and longevity of your look.

• Lash Extensions: I recommend not getting lash extensions beforehand. On the day, I can apply custom individual lashes that complement your eye shape and overall look.

• Already Have Extensions? That’s totally fine — I can still work with them, though just keep in mind they might alter the final result.

• Lash Lifts: Please avoid getting a lash lift before your appointment. Lifted lashes can make it difficult — and sometimes impossible — to apply false lashes.

Hair Prep

• Clean & Dry: Please arrive with clean, dry hair and no styling products in it.
  I recommend a double shampoo cleanse, followed by a light conditioner through the mid-lengths and ends — this gives me the best base to work with.
  If you arrive with oily or dirty hair, it may limit what I can do and could mean I’m unable to achieve the style you’re after.
  If you arrive with wet or damp hair, a $30 blow-drying fee will apply, as this takes additional time and impacts your appointment.

• No Heat Styling: Avoid straightening your hair or doing a smooth hot blow-dry — a rough blow-dry on a cool temperature is absolutely fine.

• Curly or Textured Hair:
  If you’re wanting a smooth hairstyle, you’ll need to blow-dry your hair smooth prior to the appointment.
  Please avoid using heavy creams or oils, as these can weigh the hair down and make styling difficult.
  Also, do not use a straightener, as it can affect how your hair holds the style.
  If you’d prefer not to do the blow-dry yourself, you’re welcome to contact me ahead of time to book additional time for a smoothing blow-dry before your appointment (additional charges apply).

• If you’d like to embrace your natural curls, please do your usual curly hair routine prior to your appointment. I can enhance your curls during the session and create beautiful up-dos, half up half down styles, or downstyles that highlight your natural texture.

What to Wear & Parking Info

• Easy Outfit: Wear something easy to take off without disturbing your hair or makeup — a button-up or zip-up top works best.

• Parking at The Mane Society: Street parking is available on Eureka Street and Park Street.
  Please allow additional time for parking, as it can get busy depending on the time of day.

All makeup services include the application of customised individual lashes, carefully selected and applied to enhance your unique eye shape and desired look. These lashes add natural-looking volume and definition, creating a flawless, personalized finish that lasts throughout your event.

Lash Extensions If you already have lash extensions, I’m happy to work with them on the day; however, please note they may slightly affect the final look. I recommend avoiding getting lash extensions prior to your appointment to ensure the best results with the customised individual lashes I apply.

Lash Lifts Please also avoid lash lifts before your appointment, as lifted lashes can make it difficult — and sometimes impossible — to apply false lashes.
