FAQs
What is the shelf life of the tints and peroxide?
Unopened tint tubes typically last 2-3 years, and peroxide lasts 1-2 years. Once opened, it's recommended to use tints within 6-12 months and peroxide within 6 months for optimal performance and safety. Always refer to the product packaging for specific expiry dates.
Can this kit be used for brow tinting as well as lash tinting?
Yes, the kit's tints (Black, Brown, Blue/Black) are suitable for both eyelash and eyebrow tinting treatments.
Do I need to perform a patch test?
Yes, it is crucial to perform a patch test on all clients 24-48 hours prior to tinting to check for any allergic reactions or sensitivities.
How long should the tint be left on?
The application time can vary depending on the desired intensity and the specific tint used. Typically, lash tints are left on for 5-10 minutes, and brow tints for 3-10 minutes. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for the specific product being used.
What is the purpose of the Protective Sheets?
The Protective Sheets are designed to be placed under the lower lash line to prevent the tint from staining the skin and to protect the delicate eye area during treatment.
How do I mix the tint and peroxide correctly?
Use the provided Glass Mixing Dish and Tinting Brush. A common ratio is 1 part tint to 1 part peroxide, but always consult the specific product instructions. Mix thoroughly until a smooth, creamy paste is achieved.
Is this kit suitable for home use?
This kit is intended for professional use in salons or by trained technicians due to the nature of the products and the required application techniques. It is not recommended for unsupervised home use.
Troubleshooting
Tint color is too light or uneven
Ensure the tint and peroxide were mixed in the correct ratio and consistency. Verify the tint was left on for the recommended duration. Check that the lashes/brows were clean and free of oils before application.
Skin irritation or allergic reaction
Perform a patch test 24-48 hours before treatment. Ensure Protective Sheets and Petroleum Jelly were used correctly to protect the skin around the eyes. If irritation occurs, remove tint immediately and rinse the area. Advise client to consult a medical professional if symptoms persist.
Stains on skin that won't remove
Use the included Stain Remover immediately after tint application. Gently rub the affected area. If stains persist, a specialized tint remover may be needed, but use with caution to avoid further skin irritation.
Product has separated or changed texture
This may indicate the product is past its shelf life or has been stored improperly. Discontinue use and replace the affected product. Always check expiry dates before use.
