What is Brow Lamination?

Brow Lamination AKA Brow Perm. This is a semi-permanent makeup process that lifts, straightens, and tints eyebrows. A gentle chemical elixir is applied to soften your brow hairs, allowing them to be sculpted into the perfect arch or shape. They’re coaxed into submission, straightened, and lifted to create fuller, more defined brows. The result? Your brows stay bewitchingly beautiful for weeks, giving your face a captivating allure.

How does Brow Lamination Work?

Step to step process of How Brow Lamination is done: 

A. Consultation: Begin with a chat about your dream brow shape with an expert.
B. Softening Solution: A gentle chemical solution is applied to make your brow hairs more flexible.
C. Shape Shifting: The technician molds and styles your brows using a comb or brush. Think of it as sculpting.
D. Holding the Magic: Sometimes, adhesive or a special rod keeps your brows in their new shape.
E. Processing Time: The brows take a short break to lock in their fresh look.
F. Neutralizing Finish: A neutralizing solution is used to set your brows like a magic spell.
G. Results: The outcome? Fuller, more defined brows that last for 4-6 weeks.
H. Bonus: Tinting (Optional): You can add tinting for an extra dash of charm.

Brow lamination offers a semi-permanent yet dramatic enhancement for those seeking to tame unruly brows and achieve a polished appearance.

Pro Tip: This treatment should not hurt — and if you feel any pain or burning, you may have sensitivity to the chemicals used. To dodge this, we recommend asking your artist to do a patch test before moving forward with the treatment.
