MJ Beauty’s Frequently Asked Questions

Are eyelash extensions worth it?

Absolutely! They will save you time every morning, you wake up ready to go. They have a natural lifting effect, making you look and feel more awake.

How long do gel nails last?

Gel nails will last between 2-4 weeks. Depending on how you care for them and your natural nail strength. We recommend having them infills every 2-3 weeks

How often should I get my eyelash infilled?

Every 2-3 weeks. This is because our natural eyelashes are constantly growing and falling out. In the infills we remove the outgrown extensions and apply new ones. This keeps your natural eyelashes free from damage and keeps your extensions looking their best.

Does Lycon waxing hurt?

Lycon waxing removes hair from the root, so some discomfort is to be expected. Using a low temperature wax and specially formulated pre-wax oil, Lycon creates a protective barrier between the wax and the skin. This allows the wax to grip the hair rather than the skin, helping to minimise discomfort.

What is the difference between Lycon and strip wax?

The main difference is that Lycon (specifically referring to Lycon hot/hard wax) is a shrink-wrap hard wax applied without paper strips, while traditional strip wax (soft wax) requires a muslin or paper strip to pull the hair out.

What is an Elim pedicure?

An Elim Pedicure is an advanced medical-grade pedicure treatment designed to transform the health and appearance of your feet. Unlike a traditional pedicure, it uses specialist products to safely remove hard skin and calluses without the need for harsh filing or blades.

The treatment includes exfoliation, cuticle care, nail shaping, intensive hydration, and a luxurious foot massage, leaving your feet feeling incredibly soft, smooth, and refreshed. Suitable for both men and women, an Elim Pedicure is the perfect choice if you’re looking for healthier, more beautiful feet with long-lasting results.

How long does semi-permanent make up last?

Most semi-permanent make up should last around 2-5 years. This depends on the chosen pigment (darker pigment will last longer), your bodies metabolism and lifestyle. We a tattooing on the top layers of skin, so naturally they will fade with UV exposure and your body will slowly break the pigment down. We recommend having a 12-18 month top up on your semi-permanent make up to keep it looking its best.

How do I prepare for my eyelash extension appointment?

Make sure your natural eyelashes are healthy – we cannot apply extensions to the skin. Come to your appointment eye make up free. Avoid oil on your lashes prior to your appointment. Avoid caffeine as it makes your eyes shake. Feel free to show us inspiration pictures!

Can I wear make up after semi-permanent make up?

No, you cannot wear make up on the area you have had treated for 7 days. You can wear make up on the rest of your face, avoiding the treated area and being very careful when removing make up. The treated area is a healing wound and must be kept clean and dry. Using only the recommended aftercare products in the first week.
