    Risk alert

    Written aftercare protects your work

    Most healing problems come from aftercare clients forgot. A card in hand and a text the same day mean they can always check what to do.

    Practical guide

    Aftercare that heals well and brings clients back

    Why written aftercare matters

    Clients forget most of what you tell them at the end of an appointment. They are excited, they are paying, and they are thinking about the result, not the next two weeks of care. Written aftercare fixes that. A printed card they take home and a text they can find on their phone mean they always know what to do, and they are far less likely to message you at midnight asking whether something is normal. Good aftercare also protects your reputation, because a badly healed tattoo or lash set reflects on you even when the client caused it. And it is the best moment to book the next visit: put the timing and your booking link right on the card.

    Is this medical advice?+

    No. It is general aftercare guidance. Clients with signs of infection should contact a doctor.
