MAINTENANCE

before your session The week/day before

Let talk about getting your body ready for your session. I mean it’s the typical: No alcohol, no under-sleeping, no crazy things like going down the hill on a bicycle without brakes… Basically listen to your survival instincts if it says no, then don’t do it.

And of course the TLC ritual (Tender Loving Care).

Make sure you come with: • Clean and dry hair • Mani/pedi with light colors—Remember that you will be using different outfits and it’s better to have a neutral color. Please avoid trends, your portrait will be your legacy, they need to look timeless.

• Facial: if you need one—please do it a week before.

• Dye-retouch: if you dye. The fresher you look the better but do it a week in advance.
