BROW TINT & LAMINATION
YOUR BROWS – JUST FLUFFIER!
We know that eyebrows have such a wonderful way of framing the face. Also known as a brow lift or perm, a lamination doesn’t actually curl the brows, but instead softens the hair follicle and straightens the hairs – resetting them into a more lifted and refined shape. When gaps are present, or hairs growing in unruly directions, brow lamination is often a great solution. Semi-permanently setting the hairs in a more vertical direction makes the brows appear neater, fuller and more uniform. Adding a tint on allows for even more volume and definition without the commitment of permanent brow procedures.
BENEFITS
- Non-invasive
- Time saving
- Semi-permanent

Frequently Asked Questions
A brow lamination is the process of restructuring the keratin bonds of your eyebrows to create more manageable, fuller and more defined brows. Tinting them a shade darker is a really great way to make the brows pop!
Before starting, we will perform a small patch test on the inner forearm or behind the ear.
The procedure takes about 45 minutes from start to finish. First, the brows are cleansed thoroughly. A pre-smoothing treatment is used to tame thick or rebellious hairs. Then, a perming solution and neutralizing solution are applied in stages. The tint is applied next. Lastly, a keratin treatment is applied to the brows, which provides added strength and conditioning. We are then able to trim the brows and remove any stray hairs if needed.
If there is any need to proceed with waxing or threading, it should be done after. This way the follicle is not exposed.
Overall outcomes will depend on your natural brows. Brow Lamination is not suitable for very thin or short brows.

It is not recommended that you have a Brow Tint & Lamination if you have any of the following:
A Patch Test is highly recommended and is to be booked 1-2 weeks prior to your eyelash appointment. Please note that although you have taken this precautionary step and obtained a negative patch test result, allergies can occur at any time with repeated exposure.

Results of a brow lamination tend to last approximately 4-6 weeks depending on skin type and how well they are maintained at home. Tint will last around 3 weeks.
The first 24 hours after a brow tint & lamination are the most important:
- Avoid for 24 hours: brow makeup, water, cleansers, moisture, steam, heat, intense sweating
- After 24 hours: Condition brows daily with brow serum, conditioner or castor oil
The brows can be laminated every 6 to 8 weeks. Having this done more often increases the risk that the eyebrows and surrounding skin will become damaged.
