Brow Tint (w/ mapping)

This tint includes brow mapping — your therapist measures your brow area against the proportions of your face and marks the ideal shape before any colour goes on.

Offered on-site by Charm Brows & Beauty.

Mapping matters because tint can be used to shape as well as darken: colour placed slightly outside a sparse area makes the brow read longer or fuller, and colour held back at the front keeps it looking soft. Without mapping, tint simply follows whatever shape you already have.

No waxing is included, so nothing is removed — the shape is created with colour alone.

• Brow mapping — measuring and marking the ideal shape for your face
• Consultation about the depth and shape you want
• Brows cleansed and prepared
• Tint applied to build the mapped shape
• Depth checked with you before finishing
• Aftercare advice

Allow about 45 minutes. The mapping is done first, with your therapist marking the shape and showing you before proceeding.

The tint is then applied following those guides, processed and removed. You'll see the result and can go deeper if you want. Slight temporary staining on the skin is normal.

Anyone whose brows are uneven or need reshaping with colour rather than removal, and anyone who has never had their brows mapped and isn't sure what shape suits them. If you also want strays removed, choose the version with waxing.

Keep the brows dry for the first 12 hours, then avoid oil-based cleansers, exfoliating acids and facial scrubs on the area — those lift the colour faster than anything else. A gentle cleanser around the brows keeps the tint at its best.

Tint on hair lasts around three to four weeks, fading gradually rather than disappearing.

• Come without brow makeup so your therapist can map accurately
• Ask your therapist to explain the mapping — it's useful for filling brows in at home
• Keep oil cleansers and acids off the brows to preserve the colour
• Choose the wax version if you also want strays removed
