About Brow Lamination
An important note: Following aftercare means EVERYTHING. This determines how long your lamination and/or tint lasts.
​
What is Brow Lamination?
Brow lamination offers the appearance of fuller, fluffier brows. Think of it as a perm for your brows! It is a 3-step process involving solutions that relax the brow hairs in order for you to control its direction. The brushed up look of this service helps cover any sparse areas and makes your brows appear fuller. And if you happen to not like the brushed up look, you can brush the hairs in any direction you desire.
How long does it last?
Realistically, the lamination can last 3-4 weeks looking fresh until your brow hair starts shedding and growing back (as it normally would). Your brows will go back to its normal state completely by week 8. The longevity of the results is dependent on your lifestyle, brows hairs, and aftercare.
​
In order to re-laminate the brows, we must wait until after the brow hairs are back to its normal state as to avoid over processing and damaging the hair.
Who is eligible?
Anyone who has visible brow hair and wants a low maintenance, every day, natural brow look. If you had recent brow tattoo done, you must wait at least 3 months after or until your brows are completely healed to do a lamination.
​
Please see contraindications below for those who aren't eligible for this service
​
Possible side effects?
The first solution used in this 3-solution process may cause some sensitivity on the skin. Feeling a slight tingling/warmth is normal as the solution works to open the hair cuticles. A burning sensation is NOT normal - service will stop immediately. Sensitivity and redness around the brow area due to waxing is expected. Please make sure to review the contraindications and pre-appointment instructions to avoid any irritation/reaction.
​
Due to the nature of the service, brow hairs may feel dry because it's been processed. Please see aftercare below.
​
If after the service you experience a reaction/irritation, immediately wash your brows and use a cold compress to relieve. Seek medical attention at your own discretion/expense.

About Brow Wax:
Brow waxing will be included in all brow lamination and brow tint services. If you have a history of skin sensitivity to brow waxing, please inform me at time of booking. Tweezing will be an alternative. You may also seek your own brow grooming elsewhere, but do not trim them! This can affect the final look of your lamination.
About Brow Tint:
Tinting the brows is the perfect solution for anyone who wants some color on their brows without the commitment of tattooing. Tinting is a semi-permanent dye that enhances and defines the brows. The first day may appear bold, but will fade with every wash. Realistically, tint color lasts on the skin for 5-7 days. If you have fuller, darker brow hair, the tint can be visible on your hairs for up to 3 weeks. Note that the bolder you go, the longer they will appear to last!​
​
Have old tattoo brows and need a refresh? Tinting is the perfect service! If your old tattoo brows are extremely dark, this might not be the best option for your as it can bolden up the brows even more.
​
Tint may be booked as a maintenance appointment between lamination services.
