Henna is a temporary tattoo traditionally applied during weddings and other special occasions or events.

1-3 weeks depending on aftercare and where on the body it is applied. Henna stains each part of the body differently depending on how thick/thin skin is.

Everyone! As long as the cultural significance is acknowledged and respected, we believe everyone should be able to experience the joy of henna.

1. We recommend leaving henna on for a minimum of 4 hours but the longer the better. 2. When removing henna, avoid washing it off with water as it will greatly affect the stain results. Scrape off dried henna and use an oil (coconut, argan, etc) to loosen and remove any stubborn bits. 3. After removal, avoid water for minimum of 4 hours. The longer the better. 4. Prior to washing hands, apply an oil or balm to create a barrier between henna and water. This will help your stain last longer and fade more evenly.

Our henna is hand mixed for every client. The ingredients are: henna powder (which is a finely ground powder that comes from the leaves of the henna plant), sugar, water, and an essential oil. We use lavender, eucalyptus, tea tree, and cajeput.

Henna is typically bright orange/red upon removal and continues to get darker over the next 48hours and ranges from shades of orange, brown, red, and sometimes even looks black.

"Black" henna is often full of harmfull ingredients and is the number one reason people have allergic reactions to henna. It is extremely dangerous and we do not offer this. The henna we use is free of preservatives, dyes, and any other harsh chemicals.

A gel polish manicure is done using polish that must be cured in a UV/LED lamp. This cuts out the drying time of regular polish and it lasts longer, typically 2 weeks or more. This will vary from person to person, of course.

Hard gel is a product used to build extensions. Similar to acrylic in the sense you are building the structure of the nail but hard gel must be cured in a UV/LED lamp. There is no odor with hard gel.

An overlay is used to add strength and structure to the natural nail. It is similar to artificial nails except you are not adding any length. We use hard gel or builder gel for our overlays.

A builder gel manicure is the same as an overlay. This adds strength and structure to the natural nail without adding any length and is done using hard gel.

Getting your nails done while pregnant/breastfeeding is safe but we still recommend checking in with your doctor.

At Mosaic House, you must be 16 years of age or have the consent of your legal guardian.

Lip blush is a semi-permanent cosmetic tattoo. It's used to add pigment to the lips and balance uneven toned lips.

It varies from person to person. Generally, it isn't considered very painful. A topical numbing cream is applied before and during the procedure to help make the client comfortable.

Lip blush will last anywhere from 1-3 years. It will depend on different factors such as aftercare and lifestyle. Things such as smoking, alcohol, sun exposure, and even skin care, may cause the pigment to fade faster.

It takes about 7-10 days for the surface of the lips to heal and about 6-8 weeks for the deeper underlying layers to heal and show the true results of the colour. Here is what to expect in the first few days: Day 1: Lips will be swollen and tender and may secrete plasma. Day 2-3: Swelling will go down and some soreness may still be present. Day 3-5: Lips may begin to scab, pigment will fade. Day 6-7: Some scabbing may still be present.

You must be at least 19 years of age or older. No exceptions.

PRE-CARE Exfoliate once a day for a week leading up to the appointment day but not on the day of the appointment. NO chemical peels. Keep lips moisturized as much as possible at least 7 days prior leading up to the appointment. Avoid alcohol, caffeine, aspirin, ibuprofen, vitamin e, and fish oil 48 hours before the appointment as it may cause more pain sensitivity and bleeding. Tylenol is safe prior to and after the appointment. Stop use of retinoids and vitamin A at least 1 month before procedure. AFTERCARE 7-10 DAYS Avoid spicy, salty, and greasy foods during the first 7-10 days. Eat foods in small pieces that can be placed in the mouth without touching/overstretching the lips. Use a straw when drinking water. The lips should be cleansed with a gentle and unscented cleanser, like Cetaphil. Always pat dry with a clean paper towel and apply ointment with clean hands. Ointment should be applied throughout the day with clean hands in thin layers. Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, sauna, pools, excessive sweating, kissing, and excessive water exposure. Do not pick scabs or touch lips unnecessarily.

At least 1 touch up is required to achieve the best results. Typically, the first session is used to colour correct and the second session is used to achieve the desired colour. The amount of sessions required will depend on the desired results and the natural lip colour of the client. It is normal to require 2-3 sessions.
