Permanent Eyeliner Pre-treatment 😊
Chloe, a busy Vancouver marketing lead, hated her smudged eyeliner on rainy SkyTrain commutes. After finally booking a permanent eyeliner session at Samira Pro Beauty in Downtown Vancouver, she followed a simple prep checklist: no coffee, no lash serum, no last-minute lash extensions. She breezed into her appointment calm, hydrated, and ready. Two hours later, she walked back onto Granville Street with crisp, smudge-proof liner and a huge grin. Want that same confidence? Read on!
Why Preparing Is Important
- 🔒 Safety first —healthy skin & eyes mean fewer risks and smoother healing.
- 🎨 Colour that lasts—less bleeding = crisper lines & better pigment retention.
- ⏱️ Minimal downtime—reduced swelling/redness so you can head back to work quickly.
- 🙌 Stress-free visit—no last-minute reschedules for lash glue, sunburn or contacts.

Common Mistakes 🙈
- “One little latte won’t hurt.” (It will—caffeine = more bleeding & twitching.)
- Arriving with mascara or lash glue still on.
- Removing lash extensions the morning of (glue residue = infection risk).
