Brow Lamination, also known as a brow perm, is a lifting and smoothing treatment that allows brow hairs that normally grow straight to the sides or downward to be softened and coaxed upward so that they can be brushed up and styled into a fluffier, more defined shape. This gives the brows a lift and the illusion of a fuller shape. People with brows on the thinner side love this treatment!

We start by analyzing your brows and discussing the look you’d like to achieve. Brows are cleansed and a lifting lotion is applied and allowed to process for a few minutes. Once that is removed, brows are carefully brushed up into a more upright position and the setting lotion which locks them into shape is applied. Nourishing bond building serums are then applied. Tinting the eyebrows is optional, but if you have very light brow hairs a tint will help define the hairs you have and enhance the shape.

After sleeping or showering, hairs may be laying out of place and you’ll need to use a spoolie brush to style them back up into place.

No makeup or water should come into contact with the eyebrows for 24hrs following the lamination to ensure the lift fully sets into the new shape. As this is a chemical service, much like perming and coloring the hair on your head, purchasing a Brow Conditioner (we sell these in the studio) is recommended for nightly use to keep brow hair healthy and hydrated and ensure brows stay in good condition.

The results typically last about six to eight weeks depending on how fast your brow hairs grow. As the older, curled eyelashes naturally shed over the following weeks you’ll begin to see the new straighter hair grow back in. Brow Lamination can be repeated every 8 to 10 weeks to maintain the results. If you choose not to maintain the lamination, your natural brow hair shape will return.

Lash and Brow tinting is a semi-permanent dye process (formulated specifically for lashes and brows) that darkens and intensifies the color of your natural eyelash and eyebrow hairs. Tinting won’t add curl, length or volume like traditional mascara or lash extensions would, but it will bring depth and dimension to what you naturally have.

It’s a low-maintenance service that brings a little extra “oomph” to your daily look and lasts up to four weeks. If you have blonde or light eyelashes and brow hairs, tinting will give you a dramatic difference and bring out those hairs that tend to “disappear” against the skin, giving the illusion of a fuller lashes and thicker brows. If you have naturally dark or black lashes and brow hairs, you may have a subtle result but it won’t be a huge difference in color overall. If you have dark hair but light tips on your eyelashes, it will give you a subtle increase in how long the lashes appear. It can also help blend in any gray hairs.

From start to finish the whole appointment takes under 30 minutes.

For lashes, you’ll need to ensure that you aren’t wearing contact lenses during the service. We start by cleansing the eyes and applying a silicone pad under the lashes to protect your skin. Though we do have several natural colors to choose from, most people choose a classic black for eyelashes as it gives the most dramatic result. A cream based dye is painted on to your eyelashes and allowed to process for about 10 minutes, then cleansed off.

For brows, we discuss the desired color and tone and a custom color is blended for you. Eyebrows are cleansed and the cream dye is applied to your brow hair and allowed to process for about 10 minutes, then cleansed off.

Aftercare is easy! You can get them wet, shower, wash your face and use makeup (including mascara, if desired) immediately after without affecting the results. Sun exposure, chlorinated pools, exfoliating skincare ingredients such as benzoyl peroxide and glycolic acid as well as heavy-duty makeup removers and removing waterproof mascara can fade the tint more quickly.

The key differences lie in their formula, effect on the skin, longevity, and overall finish. Traditional tinting offers a natural look, while hybrid tinting provides a more dramatic, long-lasting result as it dyes the hair for up to 6 weeks but also dyes the skin behind the brow hairs for up to 10 days.

Results vary based on the length, fullness, thickness and growth structure of your brow hair. Results also vary depending on skin type. Those who have oily skin may fade faster than someone with dry skin. Any type of exfoliation will also affect the amount of time the tint will last. Skincare containing AHA’s or other chemical exfoliation may decrease the life of your tint. A gentle facial cleanser or eye makeup remover is recommended. The tint is designed to last up to 10 days on the skin and up to 6 weeks on the hair.

We start with a consultation so we can discuss your needs and the result we can provide you. We do Brow Mapping so you’ll get good coverage and shape. The Hybrid-Dye is mixed, then gently applied to your skin and allowed to dry for 10-20 minutes. The dye is removed and we style your brows. You now have beautiful dyed brows for up to 6 weeks!

Please note that you may notice that immediately following your brow tint they may appear strikingly dark – this is normal! This is because your skin is also tinted during the application process. Please keep in mind this will fade after 1-3 days after you have had time to wash your face and natural oils have worked out some of the tint from the skin behind your brow hairs. Brows should be kept dry for 24 hours after treatment. This includes avoiding using make up and facial cleansers around the area, as well as prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, the use of tanning beds, saunas, steam rooms and swimming pools for 24 hours.
