Brows & Lashes
One thing I’ve learned over the years is this: almost everyone is nervous when going somewhere new for any kind of beauty service for the first time but especially for brows! It’s extremely important to me that my clients feel comfortable and know that they’re in good hands. My number one priority is understanding exactly what you’re trying to achieve so that you can walk out feeling confident.
FAQs
I’m not sure if my skin can handle waxing. Can I still get my brows shaped?
There are a variety of reasons why someone’s skin may not like wax. While the wax I use is very gentle on skin, some people are allergic to various ingredients or just have highly sensitive skin. It is also important to note that if you are using certain skincare products such as Retinol, Retinoid or other Vitamin A derivatives, or Roaccutane in the form of prescription medication, we must avoid waxing as your skin will be too delicate. In any of these cases, I recommend shaping your brows by tweezing. Please let me know if you are using any of these products or have had issues with waxing in the past.
I’ve had my brows tinted too dark / waxed too thin in the past! Can I trust you to do it differently?
I always approach brow tinting and shaping with great caution - especially with a new client! Almost every new client I meet has a story about a time where their brows were tinted way too dark or waxed into a bizarre shape. I understand your concerns and I promise I will not do this to your brows! I always have a thorough discussion with each client about colour and shape before we begin so that I can gauge exactly what you’re comfortable with.
How long does tinting last?
Brow and lash tinting generally lasts 2-3 weeks on the hairs, however there are many factors that contribute to this. The darker the tint is at the beginning, the longer it will last. Therefore if we are tinting your brows very lightly, you may need to get them done more frequently. Other things that will make your tint fade faster include very oily skin, lots of washing/ exfoliating the area, sweating, swimming, etc. Basically the less you touch your brows and lashes the better!
What is Brow Lamination?
Brow Lamination is all about holding the hairs in the perfect position. Have you ever noticed that even when you brush your brows into position in the morning, they’re unruly by the end of the day? The purpose of Brow Lamination is to keep them sitting exactly how you want them. It can also help to smooth out curly hairs or correct the way hairs sit if they grow in a strange direction. How does it work? Using a few different products, we gently brush the hairs into the position we want them to stay in - and no, they don’t have to look like the crazy fluffy ones you see on Instagram! We can make them as natural as you’d like. There are two separate solutions applied and each one processes for approximately 6 minutes. Then we tint your brows (optional) and finish with a Keratin serum to smooth and hydrate the hairs. This service also includes shaping. Time: 1 hour. Lasting time: 6 weeks approximately.
What is a Lash Lift?
A lash lift puts a beautiful, natural curl into your lashes to open up your eyes. It gives a similar effect to mascara but without you having to put anything on! Similarly to Brow Lamination (above), I apply a few different solutions to your lashes to give them a nice lift, and finish off by tinting them and nourishing them with a Keratin serum. Aftercare is very straight forward - your lashes need to be kept dry for minimum 24 hours (ideally 48 hours) after the service, meaning no water, no makeup and no skincare. Beyond that you can wet them and wear makeup as much as you like, but just like with tinting, the less you touch them the better. I will also give you a clean mascara wand to brush your lashes into place each morning and after showering or washing your face. Time: 1.5 hours. Lasting time: 8-12 weeks.
