BROW LAMINATION, SHAPING AND TINTING
Brow lamination and tinting are treatments that enhance the appearance of eyebrows. Lamination sets the hairs into the desired shape with a chemical solution, making brows fuller and more defined. Tinting darkens the hairs to create a clearer and richer look. These procedures can be done separately or combined for the best result. They are ideal for sparse or untidy brows, helping to create a more voluminous appearance. Results typically last 6-8 weeks.
What is brow lamination
Brow lamination is a treatment that makes hairs softer and more manageable, allowing them to be brushed into the desired direction-perfect for achieving volume and filling gaps. It also suits those with thick or curly brows. The procedure typically includes shaping and tinting, finished with a nourishing mask to restore and feed the hairs.
Similar to eyelash lamination, the brows should remain dry and undisturbed for 24 hours after the procedure to preserve the shape and longevity. The treatment takes about 1 hour, and the effect lasts roughly 2 months—doing it more frequently is not recommended.
This is one of my favorite treatments, and I recommend it to anyone wanting perfect brows. If your brows lack definition, this procedure is the key to fuller, more beautiful results.
Brow Shaping and Tinting
Brow shaping and modeling is a procedure where the specialist adjusts the shape to better suit the face. Correction is commonly done with tweezers, wax, or threading. In my practice, I use wax and tweezers.
The need for repeat correction depends on the speed of eyebrow growth. Hairs usually grow back in 1-2 weeks. If only correction is performed, the procedure takes about 15 minutes, but if correction and coloring are performed, it takes about 45 minutes.

Henna vs Chemical Brow Tinting
Professional chemical brow tint and henna are fundamentally different in composition, yet both offer a wide range of shades.
What to consider when choosing
- If you want to tint only the brow hairs while keeping a natural look, use chemical tint—it creates a subtle shadow and stays on the skin for only a few days.
- If you want to tint both skin and hairs for a defined shape, henna is better—it lasts on skin for 1–2 weeks.
- Chemical tint is typically used for dense, coarse brows, while henna is preferred for sparse or thin brows because it fills gaps and masks hair loss.
What are the differences between henna and tint?
Longevity
Both tint and henna can last on hairs up to a month, but henna also stains the skin for 1–2 weeks.
Skin staining
Henna does not penetrate the hair structure; it tones and primarily works on the skin. Tint opens the hair cuticle and deposits pigment that builds up, so the color remains in the hair longer.
Ability to lighten brow shade
If someone lightens their hair color, brows may need to be lightened too. Tint can lighten brows by a few shades; henna cannot.
Appearance
Chemical tint can give a more natural look depending on the brand; for bold and noticeable brows, henna is preferable.
General things to consider
When using henna, recent self-tanning products (including sprays), prior permanent makeup, and individual factors (menstrual cycle, diet, medications, illness, stress) can affect the final shade. The true henna color develops within the first 24 hours—some clients see the final shade after 20 minutes, others only the next day. Since henna is natural, it can cause allergic reactions. For henna brows I use high-quality products from Henna Spa; for chemical tinting I use brands like RefectoCil, Shik, and Bronsun.
