Brow tinting darkens the visible brow hairs, helping fine or pale hairs contribute to the overall shape. It does not permanently colour the skin or create hair where none grows.

Before the appointment

Discuss the shade and finish you want. Bring a reference if “natural” means something specific to you. Tell the therapist about previous reactions, sensitive skin or active irritation. A patch test may be appropriate depending on the product and your history.

After the tint

Follow the therapist's instructions and avoid rubbing the area. Heat, sun, swimming, cleansing habits and hair growth can all affect how the tint appears over time. Results fade gradually and vary by person.

Tinting can be paired with threading when both colour and shape need attention. Schedule before a major event rather than immediately before it, especially for a first tint.

The goal is not to produce two identical stamps above the eyes. Brows are sisters, as the saying goes, and in real families even sisters occasionally disagree.
