Brow Lamination

Eyebrow lamination is a relatively new procedure that focuses on creating shiny, smooth brows. Also sometimes called an “eyebrow perm,” the high-shine effects tend to be sought after by those who may be experiencing thinning or unruly brows. Unlike permanent make up, needles and are not involved.

FAQs on Brow Lamination

 

What do I need to do to prepare for a brow lamination appointment?

Continue your daily skincare routine leading up to your appointment. If you use a retinol cream you should discontinue use 5-7 days prior to your lift/lamination treatment & for 5 days after so that your skin does not become dry with the chemical process. I always advise this with waxing as well, in order to keep the skins integrity in tact. Do not trim or tweeze your own brows prior to this service for at least 2 weeks so that you can get the best results with the fullest brow possible.

What is the after-care like for Brow Lamination/Lift service?

Your brows need to stay dry for 24 hours post treatment. Once 24 hours has passed, you can use Thuya Eyebrow Intensifier daily to help keep the color and promote new hair growth. These two things are steps to use after your Lamination/Lift treatment. Avoid using drying products like retinol or AHA/BHA cleansers directly on your brows after your treatment, they tend to dry out the hair and not give you as much time with your lift.

How long will my Lamination/Lift & tint treatment last?

6-8 weeks. The tint will last anywhere from 2-6 weeks depending on your hair health and type.

Does a Brow Lift/Lamination hurt?

No. If anything it is very relaxing. Most people fall asleep during their service.

How long will this service take?

No need. You can do everything you normally do with your hair. You can get a hair cut with it, or color your hair, etc.

What are the contraindications (reasons why Brow Lamination may not be the best fit) for your Brow Lamination/Lift service?

Very dry skin. If you use a retinol cream daily, or AHA/BHA cleansers your skin may be too dry for this service and you should discontinue use 5-7 days prior to your treatment deepening how intensive your skin care routine is, in order to avoid redness and dry skin in the treated brow area. 

You can not receive this service if you have recently had any aggressive recent facial procedures (chemical peels, microdermabrasion, micro needling and laser treatments) 

If you’re experiencing active acne breakouts or wounds in the brow area this service should not be done on open wounds or active breakouts. 

If you’re experiencing certain types of hormonal changes or thyroid conditions that cause hair loss you should wait to receive this service until things balance out in your system. 

Will Brow Lamination cause hair loss?

No. Brow Lamination when done properly will not cause hair loss. Your eyebrows will shed naturally in cycles regardless, it is part of the process of hair rejuvenation and healthy regrowth. Your hair sheds at certain stages and then regrows as it needs to. In order to prevent excessive shedding caused from dry hair or lack of nutrients to the follicle daily use of Thuya’s Eyebrow Intensifier will help to hydrate existing follicles & stimulate growth with nourishment, if your brows are properly cared for after your treatment & the service provider is well trained you should see more brow growth over time, never sudden loss of hair in large amounts or patches.

How is this service suited for sensitive skin?

You can absolutely receive a Brow Lift/Lamination treatment if you have sensitive or a reactive skin type, just let me know at the time of your service if your skin is feeling sensitive and I will take a look to make sure the treatment is a good option for you that day. Allergies and medications are ALWAYS asked before your first service and thereafter to avoid any possible issues. A brow balm is also applied before the chemical treatment so that the skin is well protected.

How can I make my lift & tint last the longest:

Avoid using drying skincare products directly on the brows, use cold water to cleanse your face and be sure to properly clean your brows at night with a gentle oil-free cleanser to remove pore clogging & harmful debris that collect on the brow hair, resulting in shedding of the brow hair and cause your lift to fall faster.

What product should I use to style my brows post treatment?

I recommend a brow powder if you need to fill in your brows between brow lamination services. A brow soap or styling gel can be used to fluff them up and hold them in place all day. I will go over how to style your brows properly when your service is complete. Brow lamination offers a low maintenance way to have many different brow styles of your choosing that will last all day, these product options and brow styles will be covered during your service.
