What is Brow Lamination?
Brow lamination is an exciting and innovative beauty treatment that has rapidly gained traction in the world of aesthetics. This technique creates the sought-after appearance of thick, voluminous brows, delivering a stunning transformation. Ideal for individuals who desire a polished ‘brushed-up’ look yet struggle with unruly eyebrow hairs that may be too straight or fine, brow lamination effectively tames and sets the hairs in place. This results in a beautifully groomed brow that enhances your facial features and provides a striking, youthful appearance.

Is Brow Lamination Permanent?
Brow lamination typically lasts between four to six weeks. However, with proper care, it can extend up to eight weeks. After this initial period, re-laminate your brows to maintain the desired look for a longer time. Due to the use of chemicals, only a trained beauty professional should perform this treatment.
How Long Does a Treatment Take?
The brow lamination process itself takes only 15 to 20 minutes. Some treatments also include tinting and/or waxing the brows before or after, which can take 30 to 40 minutes in a salon. Many clients choose to complement their new eyebrows with a lash and brow tint for a complete, eye-catching look.
You can choose to do a patch test before the treatment, though it’s not mandatory. Our spa technician might suggest a patch test as a precautionary measure. This test is especially recommended if you have sensitive skin, so it’s best to discuss this with your technician prior to the treatment. The only products that require a patch test are the tinting products, which are an optional add-on to the treatment.
The Lamination Process
- Consultation: Our brow expert will assess your needs and use brow mapping to find the perfect brow style for you.
- Cleansing and Setting: Your brow technician will begin by gently cleansing your brows to remove any makeup, oils, or bacteria. This ensures a clean canvas for the lamination process. To achieve the desired shape and lift, your technician will then apply a setting solution to hold your brows in an upward position. This step guarantees that the lamination solution reaches every hair, from the root to the tip.
- Brow Style: A specialized cream softens your brow hairs, allowing them to be reshaped into your desired style. The cream is left on for a specific duration based on your hair’s condition.
- Brow Setting: A neutralizing solution is applied to your brows. This solution sets the newly shaped hairs in place by reforming their keratin structure. The solution is left on for a specific duration, depending on your hair’s condition.
After Lamination
- Hair Clean-up: After the lamination process is complete, your technician may use tweezers to remove any stray hairs that fall outside your desired brow shape. It’s important to note that waxing is not recommended immediately after lamination. The lamination process can leave the hair follicles and pores in the brow area more susceptible to irritation, and waxing can potentially damage the delicate skin around your eyes.
- Hydration: After the lamination process, we carefully remove any remaining product from your brows. To promote healthy hair growth and maintain the results of your lamination, we apply a specialized brow serum or essence containing keratin. This serum helps to hydrate and nourish your brow hairs.
- Brow Combing: Once the lamination process is complete, your technician will brush your brows into your preferred style. Depending on your personal preference, you can choose a more natural look or a more dramatic, lifted appearance.
To maintain your lamination results, avoid getting your brows wet for 24 hours. After this period, nourish your brows nightly with a hydrating oil.
