Information to help you prepare for your Popup Parlour appointment.
Popup Parlour is a mobile beauty service, so I come to your home. Before I arrive, please have a clean, well-lit treatment space ready with a suitable chair, sofa or bed. I bring the treatment products and equipment, but I do not bring a portable treatment couch.
Please send any parking, access or entry information before the appointment and be ready to begin at the booked time. Keep pets and young children safely settled so you can relax and I can work comfortably.
If you are feeling unwell, have an active skin or eye infection, broken skin in the treatment area, a new allergy, or there has been a change to your health, pregnancy or medication since booking, please contact me before I travel to you. This helps me check that your treatment is suitable.

Bombshell Brows, Brow Lamination & Tinting Pre-Care
- Please have brows and lashes clean and free from makeup, mascara, oils and heavy skincare before I arrive.
- Complete any patch test requested when you book. Tell me about any previous reaction to tint, lifting or brow products.
- Avoid applying fake tan around the brows before your appointment, as it can affect the finished colour.
- Leave your brows as natural as possible. Avoid tinting, waxing, threading or trimming them immediately beforehand.
- If you wear contact lenses and are having an eye-area treatment, have what you need to remove and store them comfortably.
Lash Lifts, Cluster, Party, Express & Semi-Permanent Eyelashes Pre-Care
- Please have lashes completely clean, with no mascara, eyeliner, strip-lash glue, oil or eye cream.
- Avoid curling your lashes on the day so I can assess and prepare the natural lashes properly.
- Remove contact lenses before treatment if needed for comfort, and have your glasses nearby.
- Tell me before I travel if your eyes are sore, watery or irritated, or if you have recently had an eye infection.
- For lash lifts or tinting, complete any patch test requested when booking.
- If you are booking a lash removal or top-up, tell me what is currently on your lashes so I can bring the correct products.
Pop On Makeup Pre-Care
- Please have a clean face where possible. Light moisturiser is fine, but avoid heavy oils or rich balms immediately before the appointment.
- Gently exfoliate and moisturise in the days before your booking rather than trying a new or intensive product on the day.
- Let me know about any allergies, sensitivities or recent reactions, especially around the eyes and lips.
- Have any preferred looks, colours or reference photos ready. You can also mention products you would particularly like me to use or avoid.
- For an event, book enough time after the treatment to dress, travel and make any final adjustments without rushing.
Waxing & Facial Hair Removal Pre-Care
- Hair should be around 0.5 cm long so the wax can grip it. Avoid shaving between appointments.
- Gently exfoliate the area 24 to 48 hours beforehand, but not on broken, sore or irritated skin.
- On the day, keep the area clean and free from fake tan, body oils, deodorant, perfume, powders and heavy lotions.
- Avoid sunburn, sunbeds and intensive skin treatments around the area before waxing.
- Tell me before treatment if you use retinoids, strong exfoliating acids, acne medication or anything that may make your skin more sensitive.
- Wear loose, comfortable clothing if the treated area could feel sensitive afterwards.
- For threading or tweezing, keep the skin clean and let me know if it is unusually sensitive or irritated.
Facials, Peels, Microdermabrasion, Microneedling & LED Pre-Care
- Please have your skin makeup-free if convenient. If needed, I can remove light makeup as part of the preparation.
- Avoid trying new skincare or using strong exfoliants immediately before your treatment.
- Tell me about your current routine, allergies, sensitivities and any prescription or active skincare products you use.
- Let me know about recent peels, laser treatments, injectables, sunburn or any skin flare-up before I travel to you.
- Microneedling and stronger skin treatments require a suitability check. The treatment area must be healthy and free from active irritation or infection.
- Please have a comfortable place where you can recline, plus access to water and a nearby power socket if your chosen treatment needs it.
Hand, Facial Massage & Aromatherapy Pre-Care
- Drink water and avoid a heavy meal or alcohol shortly before your appointment.
- Wear comfortable clothing and remove jewellery from the area being treated.
- Tell me about injuries, pain, medical conditions, pregnancy, allergies or any areas you would like me to avoid.
- For aromatherapy, mention fragrance sensitivities or known essential-oil allergies in advance.
- Please prepare a quiet, warm space with a suitable sofa or bed and allow yourself a little time to relax afterwards.

- Complete the consultation, suitability checks and any patch test requested before the treatment date.
- Follow the personalised preparation instructions provided for your treatment area.

- The treatment area must be healthy, with no active infection, sunburn, broken skin or irritation.
- Do not stop prescribed medication unless the clinician who prescribed it tells you to.
- For eyeliner, remove contact lenses and have your glasses available. Follow any instructions about lash extensions before the appointment.
