Who doesn’t love a goodie bag, right? It’s a common practice to provide your clients with an aftercare kit that includes an instruction card and a packet of moisturizer, but have you thought about taking it a step further and giving your clients a little something extra?
You want them to feel appreciated and cared for, so adding a special gadget or a cute and useful extra product will have them bragging about the luxury experience they got at your salon.
The secret? If your price tag is already premium, those little extras don’t actually cost you anything, and we offer a whole bunch of great options in our shop. Here are 5 best picks:
1. For Brow Clients: DLD® Shower Shield
You know the drill for fresh brows: cleaning yes, direct shower stream no! The convenient DLD® Shower Shield is a super useful addition to the eyebrow aftercare regimen - as confirmed by PMUHub Editor-in-Chief Emily who recently got her brows machine-hair-stroked.
Clients can get anxious around their brand-new brows, and including this visor in their aftercare kit will a) calm them down and reassure them that a shower won’t ruin the work they just paid $450+ for and b) save the fresh results from the aggression of the shower head.
And it’s not a thin, shabby and cheap disposable thing from Amazon. It’s a high-quality sturdy plastic that will serve them for the touch-up as well, and that they can use whenever they want to jump into the shower without ruining their makeup. 100% worth it!
2. For Lip Clients: BIOTEK Gloss Bomb
You know those stunning, juicy afters of perfectly blushed lips that clients show you for reference at the consults? The BIOTEK Gloss Bomb is how you give them what they want.
It’s a lightweight formula that gives an instant shine. Enriched with Vitamin E, it helps the skin heal while also doubling at the most gorgeous clear lip gloss ever. Clients love how it emphasizes their results, which means they will actually use it during healing. And this means better healing and higher client satisfaction!
3. For Brows, SMP & Decorative Tattoos: Phi Tattoo Sun Protection
UV damage is the No. 1 enemy of tattoos - decorative, cosmetic, paramedical, you name it. But what do clients do when they notice premature fading or color changes? Do they think back to the sizzling vacation days their tattoo spent basking in the sun unprotected?
Nope. They blame you.
So you want to do whatever is in your power to convince them to use sun protection on their work as soon as it’s healed, and this includes actually putting a good, tattoo-friendly sunblock into their hands.Â
That way, when they panic-text you with a fade-scare and you ask them if they’ve been using their Phi Tattoo Sun Protection, they’ll have no excuse.
4. For Any Pigmentation Treatment: Zensa Healing Cream
PMU aftercare creams are first and foremost good, high-quality and non-irritating moisturizers. And that means they’re good for the skin in general, not just after a treatment.
The Zensa Healing Cream comes in a 2.03 fl oz (60 ml) packaging, which means that, yes, your client gets ample product for moisturising their fresh PMU or tattoo, but they can also use the rest as a daily face moisturizer or body lotion. It’s really good value for a great formula, and it’ll be a little treat for them outside of their PMU aftercare.
5. For Lash Clients: PhiLashes Foam
First-time lash clients won’t always take the no-oils rule seriously. They’ll nod at your aftercare instructions but in the back of their minds, they’re thinking - what could my non-comedogenic cleaning oil possibly have to do with my lashes?
Unless you want them texting you pictures of their prematurely shed fans, you should seriously consider providing a lash foam. Lash care is different from PMU care because they’ll want to use a specialized product for as long as they have their extensions on.Â
This means that, if they like the product you gave them initially, they’ll want to keep restocking and you can be their source!
The PhiLashes Foam is a great option because it’s not something they can just hop onto Amazon and get. It’s a professional-looking, professional-grade product that takes the salon experience to their homes.

Oh, and a brush to match wouldn’t hurt either!
For Facial Treatments:Â Phi Intense Hydration Face Mask
It’s a safe bet to assume that clients who come in for facials like skincare, so they’ll definitely be excited to try something new. And who doesn’t love a good sheet mask?
It’s a super cute little gift they definitely won’t throw away. Instead, they’ll think of you a few weeks later when they do some self-care and who knows, they may pick up their phone and schedule another facial!
The reason why the Phi Intense Hydration Face Mask from PhiAcademy is a great choice is because you get 5 pieces in a box, so the price per mask is really low, yet it’s not a sketchy no-name brand. At the same time, it’s professional-grade and it’s not something they can buy at any drugstore.
A gentle, hydrating formula is totally universal, so it’s good for literally any client. Just make sure it doesn’t clash with your treatment aftercare regimen, especially after more abrasive facials.
