Arrive with a clean face
Minimal makeup helps you see skin texture and practice precise tool placement without smearing products.

A low or scoop neckline makes it easier to practice neck and clavicle strokes comfortably.
Communicate pressure preferences
Tell the instructor about any skin sensitivities or recent procedures; lighter pressure prevents irritation.
