Is Brow Lamination for me?

is brow lamination for me?

A new service for brows.

Brow Lamination gives you that “fluffy” look for full, thicker brows. It is a simple procedure and is generally done in 1 hour.

Is brow lamination for me?

Well, that depends…What is your desired look?

Brow Lamination is suited for those looking to achieve the appearance of bold/ feathery brows. Think back to that luscious 80’s Brook Shields, Madonna, and Cindy Crawford brow.

We must also ask, do you have enough brow to achieve your desired look?

Unlike microblading, brow lamination works solely with your existing brow hair. In other words, the service will look more voluminous on full brows than on thinner, sparse brows.

While clients with plenty of hair on their brows make the ideal candidate to achieve the “look”, this spa service will increase the width of any brow resulting in thicker brows.

In addition, some hair textures respond better to the perm solution. For example, coarse and stubborn brows may not see maximum results until their second lamination process, spaced adequately apart.

For many people, this may be the solution they need.

How long does brow lamination last?

On average this service lasts 4-6 weeks. Observe the following tips to maximize the wear:

  • Do not wear brow makeup the day of your appointment.
  • do not wet your brows 48 hours post-service
  • brush brows after washing your face

How does brow lamination work?

How does brow lamination work?
Brow Lamination can last up to 6 weeks.

Its all the about science.

How does Brow Lamination work?

A perm solution is applied which breaks the disulphide bonds that hold together the brow hair’s keratin.

Once the bonds have been broken, we are able to change the state of the brow hair thereby straightening unruly brows and redirecting the hair to reshape the brows for a thicker, fuller look.

We then apply a setting solution which neutralizes the perm process and reforms the disulphide bonds in their new and improved shape. This is what makes your brow lamination last up to 6 weeks.

Microblading vs Lamination

microblading vs lamination

What is the difference between microblading vs brow lamination? 🤔

While both end results shown by the image above look similar, we’re talking apples and oranges when comparing microblading vs lamination.

LONGEVITY

Brow lamination is a brow perm whereas microblading is a brow tattoo. In other words, lamination is temporary and lasts usually between 4-6 weeks. On the other hand, microblading is semipermanent. Because it goes into the layers of the skin, it lasts on average 2.5 years.

MINIMUM BROW REQUIREMENTS

Brow lamination requires you to have natural brow hair in order to hide gaps, like a brow “comb over” if you will. 😊 In addition to hiding gaps in your eyebrows, it straightens unruly brow hair acting like water-resistant, 24-hour brow gel. This in effect makes your brows look as full as naturally possible.

Microblading adds hair like strokes and is the solution for people with very sparse, thin, or non-existent brow hair. The look is achieved by carefully placing each individual hair stroke on the skin, building a beautiful and natural brow from very little to no hair.
