To henna or laminate...that is the question...

Oh so many questions about brows...

What's the difference between henna and lamination?  Or maybe you've decided on lamination, but should you tint them too?  Or you may be concerned going with henna or lamination might be too bold...should you just do a brow wax and tint?  Before you know it, you're so confused, you've decided to just stick with what you've been doing...getting an add-on 5 minute brow wax at your nail salon!  Or worse...NOTHING!

With so many options, it can be very confusing.  In most cases, it’s just preference on what type of look you’re going for, but even knowing what type of look you want can be overwhelming, especially if you're not use to working with your brows.  So, I've put together a guide of the most popular brow services: what they are, how long it will last, and who it is and isn't recommended for.

Brow Henna

Picture
ᴡʜᴀᴛ ɪs ɪᴛ?
> A skin stain and brow hair tint
> This service includes a wax

​ʜᴏᴡ ʟᴏɴɢ ᴡɪʟʟ ɪᴛ ʟᴀsᴛ?
> Color will last on skin for 1-2 weeks and on hairs 4-6 weeks

ʀᴇᴄᴏᴍᴍᴇᴅᴇᴅ ғᴏʀ:
> Clients looking to create a defined, crisp shape
> Clients who prefer a brow wax

ɴᴏᴛ ʀᴇᴄᴏᴍᴍᴇɴᴅᴇᴅ ғᴏʀ:
> Clients with oilier skin may not hold color on the skin
> Clients who only want to tint brow hairs and not the skin

Brow Lamination with Tint

Picture
ᴡʜᴀᴛ ɪs ɪᴛ?
> Brow hairs are chemically treated to lift hairs up and into a shape
> Brow hairs are tinted
> Waxing is NOT recommended with this service

​ʜᴏᴡ ʟᴏɴɢ ᴡɪʟʟ ɪᴛ ʟᴀsᴛ?
> Hairs remain lifted for 4-6 weeks
> Color will last on skin for 1-3 days and on hairs ~4 weeks

​ʀᴇᴄᴏᴍᴍᴇᴅᴇᴅ ғᴏʀ:

> Clients who want a “fluffier” full shaped brow
> Clients who don’t require a brow wax
> Clients who want to add shape with color
​
​ɴᴏᴛ ʀᴇᴄᴏᴍᴍᴇɴᴅᴇᴅ ғᴏʀ:

> Clients with missing or very sparse areas of the brow
> Clients who require a brow wax

Lamination Only (No Tint)

Picture
ᴡʜᴀᴛ ɪs ɪᴛ?
> Brow hairs are chemically treated to lift hairs up and into a shape
> Waxing is NOT recommended with this service
ʜᴏᴡ ʟᴏɴɢ ᴡɪʟʟ ɪᴛ ʟᴀsᴛ?
> Hairs remain lifted for 4-6 weeks

ʀᴇᴄᴏᴍᴍᴇᴅᴇᴅ ғᴏʀ:
> Clients who want a “fluffier” brow and already have a naturally full brow
> Clients who don’t require a brow wax
> Clients who want a natural look OR those who fill their brows in manually with makeup (replaces tint)
> Clients who want to cover grays

ɴᴏᴛ ʀᴇᴄᴏᴍᴍᴇɴᴅᴇᴅ ғᴏʀ:
> Clients with missing or very sparse areas of the brow
> Clients who require a brow wax

Brow Tint

Picture
ᴡʜᴀᴛ ɪs ɪᴛ?
> Brow hairs are tinted using a demi-permanent solution.



ʜᴏᴡ ʟᴏɴɢ ᴡɪʟʟ ɪᴛ ʟᴀsᴛ?
> Color will remain on hairs for approximately 4 weeks.
> A slight shading may remain on the skin, but will wash off within 1-3 days

ʀᴇᴄᴏᴍᴍᴇᴅᴇᴅ ғᴏʀ:
> Clients who want to try something on their brows but are afraid of over-doing it.  This is a great place to start if you've never had anything done to your brows and/or aren't used to filling them in.
> Clients who want to darken their brow hairs or cover grays

> Any hair removal method can be added to this service: waxing, tweezing, and/or trimming. 

ɴᴏᴛ ʀᴇᴄᴏᴍᴍᴇɴᴅᴇᴅ ғᴏʀ:
> Clients who want to create a shape but do not have much to work with (try henna, or for a more permanent solution, microblading.)

The Perfect Brow Wax

Picture
ᴡʜᴀᴛ ɪs ɪᴛ?
> A brow wax, trim, tweeze, makeup app, and consult all in one
ʜᴏᴡ ʟᴏɴɢ ᴡɪʟʟ ɪᴛ ʟᴀsᴛ?
> 4 weeks
> Makeup will wash off

ʀᴇᴄᴏᴍᴍᴇᴅᴇᴅ ғᴏʀ:
> Brow wax clients
> Clients who need assistance finding shades and makeup application techniques that work for them
> Clients who aren't sure what to do with their brows and would like a consult
> Clients getting waxed in the middle of the day who need the red covered up

ɴᴏᴛ ʀᴇᴄᴏᴍᴍᴇɴᴅᴇᴅ ғᴏʀ:
​> Anyone can get this service

I hope this sheds some insight on what is the perfect brow service for you.  If you're still confused, we recommend you schedule a Perfect Brow Wax.  This service can be done on any client and doubles as a consult so you can decide what to do next!  Happy brow-ing :)

Henna brows and brow lamination may both be brow treatments, but they deliver very different results. Whether you've got full brows already or very thin ones it can still give you a fluffier effect. It's also non-invasive and doesn't involve dies or chemicals.
