What Each Treatment Actually Solves

Brow Lamination Solves Shape & Texture

If Your Brow Hairs Grow in Different Directions, Lie Flat, or Look Sparse Simply Because the Hair Isn't Sitting Where You'd Like It, Lamination Is the Fix. It Repositions Existing Hair into a Fuller, More Uniform, Brushed-Up Pattern — This Is a Texture & Direction Change, Not a Color Change.

Brow Tint Solves Color & Definition

If Your Brow Shape Is Generally Fine but the Color Is Too Light to Show Up — Common With Blonde, Gray, or Very Fine Brow Hair — Tint Is the Fix. A Semi-Permanent Dye Deepens the Color of Both the Coarser Brow Hairs & the Finer "Peach Fuzz" Hairs Around Them, Creating the Appearance of a Fuller, More Defined Brow Through Color Alone.

Which One Do You Need?

  • Brows Feel Unruly, Flat, or Grow in Odd Directions: Start With Lamination.
  • Brow Color Is Light, Sparse-Looking, or Doesn't Match Your Hair Color: Start With Tint.
  • Both — Hair Looks Unruly & the Color Is Light: These Are Commonly Booked Together, Since Lamination & Tint Address Different Parts of the Same "My Brows Don't Stand Out" Feeling.
  • Brows Are Already Full & Dark, Just Need a Quick Clean-Up: A Wax or Shape-Up Alone May Be All You Need — Neither Lamination nor Tint May Be Necessary.

Good to Know

Tint Results Depend Partly on Your Existing Hair & Skin Tone, So the Color Deposit Will Look Different From Client to Client. Talking It Through at Your Appointment Is the Best Way to Get a Shade Recommendation That Complements Your Natural Coloring Rather Than Looking Obviously "Dyed."

Getting Both Together

Because Lamination & Tint Solve Different Problems, They're Frequently Booked as a Combined Service — The Lamination Step Resets the Direction & Fullness of the Hair, & the Tint Adds Depth of Color on Top of That New Shape. If You're Getting Both, Tint Is Usually Applied After the Lamination Step So the Color Sets Evenly Across the Newly Repositioned Hairs.

Keep in Mind That Tint Tends to Fade a Little Faster Than a Lamination Hold, So if You Get Both, You May Notice the Color Softening Slightly Before the Shape Does. That's Expected — It Just Means Your Touch-Up Timing Might Be Led by the Tint Rather Than the Lamination.
