What is Brow Lamination?

Brow lamination is a chemical treatment that sets your brow hairs in a desired shape, making them look fuller, smoother, and more uniform.

How it's done

A stylist applies a gentle lifting cream to soften the hairs, then combs them upward and into place. A setting lotion locks the shape. The whole process takes about 30–45 minutes and lasts 4–6 weeks.

Why get it?

• Tames unruly, curly, or downward-growing brows
• Creates a fluffy, groomed look without daily gel or soap brows
• Works well for thinning brows or gaps — the hairs lie flat to cover bare spots

Aftercare

Keep brows dry for 24 hours, avoid rubbing, and use a nourishing oil daily.

What is Brow Shaping?

Brow shaping is the art of defining the natural arch and outline of your brows by removing excess hair.

How it's done

A technician first maps out your ideal brow shape based on your bone structure and face symmetry. Then they remove stray hairs using one or more methods:

• Waxing (quick, removes many hairs at once)
• Threading (precise, good for sensitive skin)
• Tweezing (for fine-tuning)

The appointment takes 10–20 minutes, and results last 2–4 weeks depending on hair growth.

Why get it?

• Cleans up messy or overgrown brows
• Opens up the eye area for a more polished look
• Helps maintain a shape you like (e.g., natural, arched, straight)

What is Brow Tinting?

Brow tinting is a semi-permanent dye treatment that darkens your brow hairs to add definition and fill in sparse areas.

How it's done

A technician mixes a gentle vegetable-based or semi-permanent dye matched to your hair color (or slightly darker for contrast). They apply it carefully along the brow hairs (not the skin, though some skin-staining fades in a few days). After 5–10 minutes, they wipe off the dye. The whole process takes about 15 minutes and lasts 2–4 weeks.

Why get it?

• Makes light, blonde, or gray brows more visible
• Saves time on filling brows with pencil or powder daily
• Creates a fuller, more symmetrical look even without makeup

What is Lash Lamination / Lash Lift?

A lash lift is a perm for your natural lashes that curls them upward from the base, making them look longer and more open-eyed. Lash lamination is essentially the same thing — some salons use the terms interchangeably.

How it's done

• Your lower lashes are protected with a gel pad
• A small silicone shield (rod) is glued to your eyelid
• Your lashes are brushed up and glued onto the shield
• A lifting lotion is applied to break down the bonds in the lashes, then a setting lotion re-bonds them in the curled shape
• A nourishing serum is added

The process takes 45–60 minutes. The curl lasts 6–8 weeks (until your lashes naturally shed).

Why get it?

• Gives a wide-awake, lifted look without lash curlers or mascara
• Ideal for straight, downward-pointing, or very long but straight lashes
• Low maintenance — you can swim, sleep, and shower normally after 24 hours

Important: You can still wear mascara, but avoid waterproof formulas and oil-based removers to prolong the lift.

What is Lash Tinting?

Lash tinting is a semi-permanent dye treatment that darkens your natural eyelashes, making them look thicker and more defined without mascara.

How it's done

A technician places protective pads under your lower lashes and closes your eyes. Using a small brush, they apply a specially formulated, gentle dye (often vegetable-based) to your upper and sometimes lower lashes. After 5–15 minutes (depending on desired intensity), the dye is carefully wiped off with a damp cotton pad. The appointment takes about 15–20 minutes. Results last 3–4 weeks.

Why get it?

• Perfect for people with blonde, light brown, or very fine lashes that disappear without mascara
• Saves daily mascara application — great for sensitive eyes, swimmers, or active lifestyles
• Can be combined with a lash lift for a dramatic, no-makeup effect

Safety note: Always patch test for dye allergies. Never attempt at-home lash tinting without professional training — eye injuries are serious.
