Patch Tests are required on certain services, including eyelash tinting, brow tinting, laser hair removal, and for any semi-permanent colour or hair tint. In most cases these are 24 or 48 hours in advance.  In the rare instance that you may experience a reaction, we ask that you inform The Refinery within 24 hours.

Please let us know before your treatment if you have any concerns regarding your health or well-being, including if you are currently being treated for any ongoing medical condition. If you have mobility issues or have trouble bending down, please let a member of our team know in advance, so that we can make the necessary provisions.
