Answers to common questions about booking, patch tests and treatments at Fatima Beauty. Please also read our Booking Policy.
How do I book?
Choose a treatment from our Services page and request a preferred date and time. We will confirm your appointment.
What are your opening hours?
We are open seven days a week, Monday to Sunday, from 10am to 7pm. The last appointment is at 6:30pm.
Where are you?
Fatima Beauty is at PROIBITO, 3 Theberton St, London N1 0QY. Open in Google Maps.
Can I cancel or change an appointment?
Please let us know at least 24 hours beforehand if you need to cancel or change your appointment. There is no charge when you give that notice. If you cancel within 24 hours of the appointment, or do not attend, the full treatment fee is charged.
What if I am late?
If you are going to be more than 10 minutes late, please get in touch as soon as you can. We may need to reschedule, and the treatment fee may still be charged.
Is there an age limit?
You need to be 18 to attend on your own. Clients aged 16 or 17 can be treated with a signed parent or guardian consent form, and a parent or guardian must stay for the appointment. We do not treat anyone under 16.
Do I need a patch test?
Yes, for tints, brow lamination and lash lifts.
For a brow or lash tint, a patch test is needed at least 48 hours before your appointment. You do not need a separate booked appointment for a brow tint patch test. Patch tests are renewed every six months. In some cases a waiver can be signed instead for an eyebrow tint only. A waiver is not available for lash tint.
For brow lamination or a lash lift, you need a complimentary 10-minute consultation and patch test at least 48 hours before your appointment. We cannot go ahead without it. These are also renewed every six months.
How long do results last?
A lash lift typically lasts up to around eight weeks. Brow shaping, tinting and lamination are designed to look tidy and low-maintenance between visits; how long they last varies from person to person. We will talk you through aftercare at your appointment. Dedicated written aftercare for these treatments will be added here if needed.
What is included in the main brow and lash treatments?
Ultimate Brow Shape includes waxing, tweezing and threading. HD Brow Lamination includes waxing, tweezing and lamination, and the tinted version also includes a tint mixed to suit your features and skin tone. An LVL lash lift gently curls your natural lashes so they look longer and more open; the tinted version adds a tint for extra definition. It is a good alternative to extensions if you want a lifted look that still feels like your own lashes.
Can I have a treatment if I am pregnant or breastfeeding?
Please check with your doctor first, and tell us when you book. Brow lamination and lash lifts are not recommended if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, because hormonal changes can make reactions more likely. Ordinary tinting is usually considered fine, but still check with your doctor. Waxing is usually possible during pregnancy, though skin can be more sensitive.
How should I prepare for brow waxing?
Arrive with clean skin and no moisturiser or oil on the area. It helps to exfoliate gently about 48 hours beforehand, and to leave enough hair for the wax to hold (around the length of an eyelash). Please wait 48 hours between waxing and tanning. If you use prescribed creams such as Retin-A or Differin, stop them seven days before and do not restart until seven days after. We cannot wax if you are taking Accutane or Roaccutane. Please tell us about any medication when you book.
What should I tell you before a treatment?
Please tell us about any allergies, skin sensitivities, medical conditions or medication that could affect your treatment. We may decline a treatment if we think it would not be safe.
How do I pay?
Appointments are paid by card, not cash. We will confirm the cards and payment methods we take when you book. Tips are welcome but never expected, and go in full to the person who treated you.
