What is Brow Lamination and Henna Brows?

So first things first, what are these amazing new treatments? For anyone who might not know, we’ll get you up to date.

Brow Lamination, to put it simply, is the process of reshaping your brow hairs to keep them in place for the right look you want. This works perfectly for anyone who feels their brow hairs are in the wrong direction, or if there are any gaps or even if you want them in a different shape or look. The lamination involves two different treatment solutions, the first is brushed through the eyebrow hair and left on for 20 minutes which will make the brow hair softer and easier to put into place. Once they’ve been brushed into the right shape a laminating solution is applied which then keeps the hairs in their right place. The treatment can last for up to 8 weeks, giving you 2 months of that perfect look before needing a top up. All our brow lamination treatments include a tint and wax as standard.

Henna Brows are a semi-permanent, natural eyebrow tinting treatment, they work by staining the skin underneath the hair which then creates the effect of fullness, filling in any areas of the brow which might be more bare. Henna has been used to dye the skin and hair for years, especially in the East of the world, but Henna brow tints have been specifically designed to cater for eyebrow colour and appear fluffier and more natural than traditional brow dye. The first step in treatment is to cleanse the skin and remove any oils to ensure it’s ready for the Henna application. We will then measure and shape the brows before applying a white paste around your eyebrows that acts as a barrier to give the new, defined shape. After the paste has been applied, we then move onto adding the Henna, which we need to push onto the skin to ensure it’s applied in between all the hair and sits on the skin to create the fuller effect. Once this has been applied, we leave it to sit for 10-20 mins and once it’s finished developing, we wipe it away and then complete a wax to leave a high definition effect. Treatments can last for up to 6 weeks, but it does depend on skin type, as those who have oilier skin will likely see it fade quicker and for those with dry skin it will last longer.
