Taking Care of Laminated Brows
Brow Lamination uses the same technology as a perm, so some of the same rules apply for protecting your investment of time and money. We all know how important taking care of permed hair is, so here are the top tips for maintaining your new Brow-Do.
Protect
The first cardinal rule of perm maintenance is that you are forbidden to wet your hair for at least 24 hours at the risk of deactivating the ammonium thioglycolate. --Legally Blonde.
And on the eyebrow- this includes forehead perspiration! So if possible, plan ahead to keep those babies dry and in place for 24-48 hours, or at least wear a terry headband right above them to protect the delicate brow placement. Use a washcloth or wipe instead of dousing them with water.
Every Day- Gentle Brushing
Brow Lamination is “Low Maintenance”, Not “No Maintenance”. Some folks even wake up to eyebrow “bed-head”. A 10 second brush up with a soft brow brush will keep things in line, protect the hairs from breakage, and show off perfect hair placement. Thin brows might even get away with simply pressing them into place with a finger after a shower. BONUS: daily brushing promotes hair growth on any part of the body.
Gentle Cleansing and Mandatory Conditioning
Chemically Treated hairs anywhere on the body need gentle cleansing and preventative conditioning to protect the integrity of those precious strands. Increase Hair Strength with the take home pack included with lamination or you can buy a tube of our clear Intensive Keratin Treatment for easy daily use.
“Crispy” Hairs are craving Moisture and lipids (nourishing oils). Facial Moisturizer can be helpful, Katari Henna and Castor Oils are phenomenal and promote brow growth. Our New BROW BUTTER is made in house here at brows and holds those brows in place, conditions brow hairs, and can give the laminated look to virgin hairs! The formula is working great and we are experimenting with packaging. We think you are gonna like the new easy to use tube! We are having a hard time making it fast enough for demand!
So, my laminated lovelies, take care of those beautiful lifted hairs, so that in 8 weeks when they are grown out, they have the resilience for a repeat service!
Finding Your Brow Sweet Spot
Your stylist will bring you over to their cozy station and get to know you and your brows. It is a wonderful start if you are already wearing them the way you like them best. No makeup at all, or a full makeup fill, we want to see what you usually do. We have gentle makeup removers and Katari Rose Water to remove makeup and prep the skin to see what you are working with after we learn your daily look.
During the consultation we will see what you like, what you may not like, and let you know what we see. How your brows grow, texture, color, shape. We will map the shape so you can see what we see before we ever pick up the tweezers.
Have you broken out from wax before?
We have lots of remedies for that, finish up with some salt water, baking soda, or even a Katari Clay mask before you go.
Do you use Retin A, Accutane or other skin meds? Maybe we should thread or tweeze, while avoiding wax.
Are you looking for a "get up and go, no makeup look?" Add on a Lash Lift and Tint to the Brow Henna and shaping.
Do we need to do a quick lip wax while you are here?
We have questions, to help you find your answers.

Lash Lift and Tint for a More Relaxed Morning Routine

Lash Lift and Tint
The appointment takes about an hour, and is very relaxing. Lay back in our sunny studio, let your lash and brow artist pet your lashes for a bit, arranging them on a small rod, with a bit of adhesive to secure the perfect flare. Once secure, a quick single shot of Ellebana Lash Solution followed by the soothing neutralizer leaves the lashes curled, lifted and ready to absorb the deepest black tint down into the deeper layers of the lash hairs. Remember, when you buy RevitaBrow from us here at Brows, your full price purchase banks enough Caterpillar Reward Points to redeem a discount on your very next service or products!
Lash Tinting also gives amazing results even without a the Lift portion of the service and only takes 15-30 minutes. Combined with a brow tint, it is easy to achieve a polished look with very little effort.
For best results:
- read our Lash Lift Informed Consent and Waiver closely and sign it electronically before your visit
- chat with your lash and brow artist first to see if there are any contraindications (conditions that mean the service isn't a good fit for you) Some examples might be recent eye surgery, or the care of an eye doctor for any current eye conditions. Please alert us if you are using any type of eyedrops. Your doctor is the best source of advice for the suitability of these services for you. Certain medications and individual hormone balance can affect the curl as well. We can cover these questions with you as we prepare for the service, but we really recommend coming in for a Lash Lift and Tint Patch Test and Consult at least 24 hours before your service.
- remove all eye makeup and mascara before your visit. or arrive early; we can dispense some of our Gentle EyeMakeup Remover for you to freshen up before your appointment time.
- remove contact lenses - bring eyeglasses or arrange for a ride home?
- condition your lashes with Katari Hoba and/or Revitabrow for at least 30 days after removing lash extensions, before your Lash Lift to build up lash health and ensure that all traces of extension adhesive has been shed.
- let your fresh Lash Lift set and cure for 24 Hours
- hands off - let that curl set
- avoid water, steam, any moisture- (no crying at the movies even?)
- avoid mascara, cleansers, serums
- avoid workouts, sweating, tanning sessions (bulb or spray)
- for pro level after care, we have heard longer lasting curl comes from leaving those lashes alone for a full week- no makeup, no drenching, no rubbing-
- be advised that curl results can vary, and are not guaranteed, especially on the first visit as we get to know your lashes and lifestyle
- wait 6 months after any eye area surgery or procedure before Lash Lift
- schedule your maintenance visits every 4-6 weeks. (buying a series is buy 5 get one free) you can prebook standing appointments for amazing results year round.
