BROW LAMINATION & TINTING FAQ

 

What is a Brow Lamination?

A cosmetic treatment for the eyebrow hairs designed to give the appearance of fuller, more defined and fluffy brows using perming solutions. Results last up to 6-8 weeks and can be redone every 8 weeks or more.

After treatment, you may wear your brows as you wish, ranging from fluffy to a more crisp and defined look based on your personal preference day-to-day. The hairs are easy to maneuver after lamination, making daily styling effortless.

Beauty by Leanne Brow Lamination services includes hair removal with a gentle high quality hard wax as well as 3 treatment products (Deluxe balm, Brow Essence and Regenerating Cream) during service to ensure your brow hairs remain healthy, soft and nourished.


 

What is a Brow Dye (Hybrid Tint)?

Brow dye or Hybrid Tint is a game changer for brow colouring as it offers the same long lasting colour of henna on the skin. When used in conjunction with brow lamination, brow dye surpasses brow tint as it can penetrate deeper into the hair’s cortex, resulting in a longer-lasting hair colour change. The colour can last 7 weeks on hair and 7-10 days on hair.

In comparison, regular eyebrow tint stains the hair more on the surface level and is not designed to leave a skin stain.


 
 

Who may benefit from a Brow Lamination?

1) Clients with wavy or unruly that want them straightened out and more manageable

2) Clients with downward turning brow hairs

3) Clients who love the look of brushed up/fluffy eyebrows and want to be able to easily achieve this look daily!

4) Clients who love a neat, defined, and illusion of a fuller eyebrow
