That night, before you sleep.
Remove makeup
Use micellar water or cleansing balm to break down the products, then double-cleanse with water and your usual face wash.
Remove lashes gently
Loosen the lash band with makeup remover or micellar water on a cotton pad. Wait a few seconds, peel slowly from the outer corner, and clean the lash line gently. Do not pull suddenly.
Wash out your hairstyle
Use conditioner first to soften the tease. Detangle with fingers or a wide-tooth comb, starting at the ends and working upwards. Then shampoo and condition as usual.

After your appointment
That night, before you sleep.
Your skin and hair health matter just as much as your final look.
Remove makeup
Use micellar water or cleansing balm all over your face to break down the products, then double-cleanse with water and your usual face wash.
Remove false lashes gently
Loosen the lash band with makeup remover or micellar water on a cotton pad. Wait a few seconds, peel slowly from the outer corner, and clean the lash line gently to remove remaining glue or mascara. Do not pull suddenly.
Wash out your hairstyle
Hair may be teased with volume powder and set with hairspray. Use conditioner first to soften the tease, then detangle with fingers or a wide-tooth comb, starting at the ends and working upwards. Then shampoo and condition as usual.
On the day
Where Niv will work.
Niv brings everything she needs. Please prepare a clear, well-lit space for her kit and tools.
- A clear surface about the size of a dining table, or half to one side of a queen-size bed.
- Above knee height. Coffee tables, sofas, chest-of-drawer tops and TV consoles are too low.
- A nearby power socket for Niv’s hair kit.
- A chair without a high backrest, preferably in front of a mirror.
- If Niv works from the bed, lay out newspaper or an old towel to protect the sheets.
- Dry tissues within reach.
Before the day
A few things worth mentioning.
Tell Niv in advance so she can discuss your preparation with you.
- Sensitive or reactive skin. You may use your own skincare if you need to. For makeup prep, do not apply sunscreen.
- Any allergies to products or ingredients.
- Anything you feel self-conscious about or would like Niv to plan around.
If you have sensitive skin, use your own skincare before the appointment and skip sunscreen, as noted in Niv’s prep sheet.
