Brow Lamination + Tint + Wax

The complete brow appointment without permanent makeup: lamination to lift and set the hairs, tint to darken them, and waxing to define the outline.

Offered on-site by Charm Brows & Beauty.

This is the combination that gives the biggest single-visit transformation. Lifted hairs make the brow look fuller, tint makes it read darker, and the waxed edge gives it a clean shape — all lasting weeks rather than washing off at night.

• Consultation about shape, lift and tint depth
• Lamination — lifting, brushing into position and setting
• Tint applied to the brow hairs at the agreed depth
• Waxing to define the outline, plus tweezing of strays
• Nourishing balm and soothing skin product
• Aftercare advice

Allow about an hour and a half. Lamination comes first, then tint, then waxing last so the shape is cut around the finished brow.

Your therapist checks the tint depth with you before moving on. A conditioning balm and soothing product finish the appointment, and some redness around the brows is normal for a short while.

Fine or fair brows that grow awkwardly and need shaping too — the fullest result available without semi-permanent pigment. Tell your therapist about retinoids, acids or acne medication before booking, as waxing may not be suitable.

For the first 24 hours keep the brows completely dry — no water, steam, sweat or products — and don't touch or brush them. After that, brush them into shape each morning and use a brow serum or a drop of oil at night to keep the hairs conditioned, since the lifting process is drying.

Lamination lasts around six weeks. Don't laminate more often than that; over-processing makes brow hair brittle.

For the first 24 hours also avoid makeup on the brows, exfoliating and sun exposure. Keep oil cleansers and acids off the brows so the tint lasts its full three to four weeks.

• Keep brows dry and untouched for the first 24 hours
• Brush them into place each morning — that's how the shape is maintained
• Use a brow serum or a little oil at night to keep the hairs conditioned
• Don't book lamination more often than every six weeks
• Tell your therapist if your brow hairs feel dry or brittle before starting
• Let hair grow for two weeks before your appointment
• Keep oil cleansers away from your brows to preserve the tint
• No brow makeup for 24 hours after waxing
