About Brow Lamination

Overview

Brow lamination is a semi-permanent eyebrow treatment designed to straighten brow hairs, resulting in a fuller and more uniform appearance.

This procedure is an excellent choice for individuals seeking to enhance the natural shape of their brows or those desiring a more polished look without the long-term commitment associated with a tattoo.

  • Elevated Aesthetic: This procedure can impart a naturally lifted effect to the face, contributing to a more youthful appearance.
  • Improved Manageability: The treatment allows brow hairs to maintain a smooth shape, thereby facilitating easier management.
  • Reduced Maintenance: Brow lamination can diminish the necessity for daily grooming routines, such as brushing and the application of setting gels.

What to Expect

Day of brow lamination

  • The process begins with the application of a cream that breaks down the bonds in the eyebrow hairs.
  • Next, the brow hairs are brushed upward to achieve the desired shape.
  • After that, a neutralizer is applied to secure the brows in their new position.
  • To finish, a nourishing oil is used to protect the skin from irritation and to prevent the hair from becoming dry. This method ensures well-defined and healthy-looking eyebrows.
Recovery

For the first 24 to 48 hours post-procedure, avoid wetting your brows to allow the lamination solution to fully set. After this period, gently cleanse your brows with a sulfate-free cleanser and consider using a nourishing brow serum to keep the hairs healthy.

Results

The results may endure for a duration of up to eight weeks, contingent upon the degree of care administered to your eyebrows.

Steer clear of oil-based products and heat sources like saunas, as these can break down the lamination solution. Lastly, regularly brush and style your brows daily, and schedule touch-ups every four to six weeks to keep them looking their best.

Safety Profile

While brow lamination is generally safe when performed by a professional, it’s important to be aware that the chemicals used in the process can damage your eyes if they get in or potential skin irritation. 

 
Cost

Brow lamination typically ranges from $35 to $250, influenced by various factors. One major factor is the location, as prices tend to be higher in larger cities or upscale salons. The expertise of the brow artist also plays a role in determining the cost.
