While receiving treatments is generally safe during pregnancy, every mama is unique and we always encourage checking with your doctor first. All of our therapists are trained on what to offer and avoid during pregnancy, so please also let us know at the time of booking so we can plan the best, safest treatment for you.

During the 48 hours beforehand, avoid any type of exfoliation, peels or facial waxing. Please beware that any false lashes or microbladed eyebrows can be affected by a facial. For those with facial hair, try not to shave the day of your facial. If this is your first facial with us, please be sure to fill out the consultation form attached to your confirmation email at least 6 hours before your appointment to ensure we can safely offer you the facial of your choice.

Unfortunately we will not be able to perform any of our facials if you have had anti-wrinkle injections within 2 weeks. We will not be able to perform any of our facials within 4 weeks of Fillers, chemical peels, or skin procedures such as microneedling, microblading, facial threads, dermaplaning, laser resurfacing, or laser hair removal within 4 weeks of your appointment.

We recommend choosing our Hey Mama facial which is especially designed to be pregnancy safe for expectant or postpartum mothers.

Not until it the scab has fully shed and the skin behind it has healed. Whether it's an active or healing cold sore, the movements of facial massage can actually exacerbate the lesion, or cause it to spread. Both are a pretty serious risk, which is why our therapists’ practice under these specific guidelines. If you do not disclose that you have a cold sore before you arrive for your treatment, we reserve the right to charge in full for treatments booked.

You should stop using all active topical skincare 3 days prior to Hydrafacial. 

The Hydrafacial is not suitable for the following: 

• Pregnancy
• During breastfeeding
• Roaccutane – Isotretinoin (if used in the last year)
• Autoimmune skin diseases (Lupus, Scleroderma, Ehlers- Danlos syndrome)

In order to achieve remarkable results, we focus on three areas:

1. Forehead - Lines that show when you raise your brow
2. Between the Eyebrows - Frown lines, known also as "elevens"
3. Crow’s Feet - Eye lines that show while smiling or squinting

The anti-wrinkle treatments at Pre- are suitable for a wide range of skin types and facial shapes. Each individual responds to treatment differently, however, most people start seeing and feeling results within 4-6 days and the full effects typically develop after 14 days, which is when some people may require a top-up.

You can expect to see considerably finer and fewer lines for the 4-6 months following treatment but it depends on your lifestyle, activity levels, metabolism, etc.

You should avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medication for at least 24 hours beforehand, unless prescribed or instructed by your doctor. Over-the-counter topical numbing creams are safe to apply 30 minutes before treatment.

To prevent the risk of treatment migration, avoid lying down at least 4 hours after your anti-wrinkle injection treatment, and postpone vigorous exercise for the next 24 hours. Cleanse your face as gently as possible during the next 24 hours.

There are very few side effects but bruising and mild redness/swelling at the injection sites are the most common side effects, which are temporary and subside within 30 minutes. Our practitioners are happy to discuss any and all treatment concerns during your consultation.

While every face responds differently, we suggest returning for your next treatment every 3-4 months. This maintains the life of your results and ensures you aren’t reverting to facial movements that promote wrinkles re-establishing themselves.

The wrinkle relaxer we carry (Botox®) is Medicines and Healthcare Regulatory Agency (MHRA) approved and carry the same active ingredient: Botulinum toxin type A which works as a muscle relaxant.

Please note that a patch test is required at least 48 hours before any tinting service and no appointment is necessary for this. All patch tests are renewed with us every 6 months. However, in some cases, we can provide you with a waiver form to sign if you do not wish to have a patch test prior to your eyebrow treatment. The waiver is not available for lash tint treatments.

You will need to book a complimentary 10 minute consultation and patch test at least 48 hours before. We will not be able to carry out your treatment without a patch test being done. All patch tests are renewed with us every 6 months. Our goal is to keep you safe, although reactions are rare, they can happen.

We do not recommend brow lamination or lash lift for those who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Pregnancy causes a change in hormones that can leave you more prone to reactions after your treatment. Regular tinting services are usually safe for during pregnancy.

We provide normal polish and soft gel polish services only, therefore we are not able to offer hard gel (BIAB, Bio Sculpture) or acrylic extension removal. Therefore, we reserve the right to respectfully decline service to any guests with hard gel polish or acrylic extensions.

We want you to feel good about your treatment moment at Pre-. That's why we'll aim to address any issues with your treatments. Our Normal polish manicure is guaranteed for up to 24 hours after your treatment.  Our Gel manicure is guaranteed for up to 48 hours after your treatment. If you bring your own gel or normal polish for use during your treatment, our longevity guarantee is void. 

If you notice chips or lifting within this time, please email us at hello@presalons.com and provide us with photos and a description of the issue. Then we will schedule you for a repair service as soon as possible. The repair will address the specific issue, will not repeat the original treatment steps and cannot be used to change a colour.

It is not possible to substitute a repair service for a refund or any other service. In accordance with Pre Salons' fair usage policy, this policy can be limited or revoked temporarily or permanently at any time.

You'll get the best results if you let the hair grow to about 1 cm or the length of an eyelash so the wax can properly grab the hair.

To make the most of your wax, it's a good idea to prepare by gently exfoliating your skin with a body scrub or mitt 48 hours before your appointment and making sure you have clean, freshly washed skin, free from moisturisers or oils.

Absolutely, but do keep in mind that the area may be sensitive and you may experience more discomfort than usual. You will need to wear a tampon for the duration of your treatment.

Yes, you can still have a wax. However, you may experience more skin sensitivity due to the hormonal changes your body is going through. Our waxing specialists will make you as comfortable as possible during the service and we can provide pillows if required for extra support.

It's always best to consult your doctor before you book your appointment.For prescribed creams like Retin-A or Differin, we advise that you stop use 7 days prior to your wax reservation and to not resume use until 7 days after your wax service. We will not be able to wax you if you are taking Accutane or Roaccutane. It is essential that you inform us about the medications you're taking so we can provide you with a safe waxing experience.

As a precaution, we recommend waiting 48 hours between waxing and tanning due to potentially increased skin sensitivity
