brow treatment care

ALL THE DETAILS YOU NEED TO KNOW, BEFORE & AFTER

before your brow appointment

Please fill out the client intake form in your Fresha account if this is your first time and/or have not filled one out.

If you are using any retinols, AHAs or any other skincare products that thin out the skin, try your best to stay away from them for 3 weeks prior to your appointment (if you can).

For best results, please grow your eyebrow hairs and avoid trimming/threading/waxing/plucking for up to 4 weeks prior.

If you're coming in for brow henna, feel free to bring in a picture of how you normally do your brows so I have an idea of how thick/thin, more/less of an arch, etc you like.

brow lamination aftercare info

Aftercare is extremely important following this service as poor aftercare, in extreme cases, can result in the loss of brow hair.

After your brow lami treatment, try to avoid washing the brow area for at least 4 hours. We want the nourishing oil to stay on as long as possible.

Do not apply makeup to the brows for 24 hours post-treatment. You shouldn't need to anyway.

Do not apply Retin A, AHA or exfoliate the brow area for 72 hours before or after the treatment.

Apply provided brow balm or brow oil daily, especially before bed. It can also be used to style your new brows.

Comb the hairs into place each day.

It is recommended to schedule brow lamination treatments 8-12 weeks apart. Brow maintenance appointments (tint, shape & wax) can be booked in between brow lamination appointments to keep up with the look.

frequently asked questions

Why should I get brow henna?

Brow henna is an excellent service for anyone with little to no brow hair or those seeking the "makeup look" for their brows. It gives the illusion of having a full brow and can be used to make any changes such as lengthening tails or adding arches.

How long does brow henna last?

Brow henna can last up to 3 weeks on the skin (depending on your skin type and aftercare) and up to 6 weeks on the hair. Although longevity can differ from person to person, oilier skin types tend to not stain the skin as long as other skin types.

Does brow henna hurt?

Having brow henna applied is painless. Some (not all) have said they feel a little tingle when the henna is applied and is processing. Nothing painful.

How does brow henna differ from brow lamination?

For brow henna, a natural dye made from henna plants which is used to stain the skin & hair in the brow area. Brow lamination consists of a 3 step chemical process in which the brows are restructured and restyled to create the appearance of (usually) a fuller, fluffier brow.

Both services create a very different brow look.

How does brow henna differ from microblading/powder brows?

This service is non-invasive, painless and not-permanent.

Microblading/powder brows is a semi-permanent procedure where the pigment is applied just under the skin and can last up to 3 years depending on the service. This service costs a lot more and must be performed by a trained, licensed esthetician.

Why is the area around my brows red?

Some clients have a sensitivity to being waxed. The redness will subside in a few hours.

brow henna aftercare info

Please keep in mind that your brows will continue to oxidize following your appointment and they may get slightly darker.

Brow henna will last longer if you leave the area alone. This means avoiding cleansing the brow area as much as possible.

Oil-based makeup products around the brow area can cause the tint to fade faster.

Henna dissolves faster on oily skin types.
