The beauty industry has had a huge focus on Eyebrows over the last 5-10 years, and it’s no surprise why!

If the eyes are the window to the then eyebrows are the frame–that’s why they should be well looked after and groomed! Enhancing your brows, even just a tiny bit, can pull together an entire makeup look and change your face completely.

But with lots of different brow treatments now on the market, it can be overwhelming to figure out which one is right for you. Should you have a regular shape and tint, or HD Brows? And what is this new Henna Brow treatment everyone is talking about?

It’s important to remember that different brow treatments will give you a different look—and whilst one particular brow treatment can work wonders for another person’s eyebrows, it might not necessarily do the same for yours.

So here is a little explanation of each treatment on the market and who they would be most suitable for! If you’re still confused after reading this, don’t worry… our therapists will be able to give you all the help and advice that you need.

The classic stand-alone eyebrow tint:

Lasts- 4-6 week
Treatment time- 15 minutes
Cost- £10
Minimum age- 16
Patch test required- yes

A coloured dye is placed over the natural hair to enhance the colour. Tint colours range from blonde to dark brown/black for all hair types.

This treatment is best suited for anyone who doesn’t feel their brows need shaping but is great for adding more depth to the brows. It is a great option for covering grey hairs or altering the colour of the natural brows.

A simple Eyebrow shape:

Lasts- 4-6 weeks (depending on clients hair growth)
Treatment time- 15 minutes
Cost- £8- £12
Minimum age- 13
Patch test required- no

An eyebrow shape can be performed using various techniques or a couple of techniques combined. This usually depends on your therapists’ preferred technique. They may choose to wax, thread, or tweeze your eyebrows with the main aim being to tidy around the edges of your natural brow shape, creating a neater more flattering appearance.

This treatment is perfect for anyone already happy with the colour of their brows but would like their brows tidying up into a nice shape.

The combined Eyebrow shape & tint:

Lasts- 4-6 week
Treatment time- 20 minutes
Cost- £15
Minimum age- 16
Patch test required- yes

Both a shape and tint is perfect for anyone that is already happy with the general shape of their brows but just needs a tidy and a tint for more depth to their brows.

This is also perfect for anyone who has had semi-permanent eyebrows and wants to keep the shape nice and tidy as well as the tint refreshing them a bit.

HD brows:

Lasts- 4-6 week
Treatment time- 45-60 minutes
Cost- £25
Minimum age- 16
Patch test required- yes

This is a more complex version of a shape and tint – a 7 step process in which the eyebrows are mapped out in a style that would sit best for the clients face taking into consideration the clients preferences on colour, the thickness of their brows and how they like their arch etc. A tint is a custom blended to suit the client, hairs are then trimmed, waxed, threaded and tweezed to get the brows in a precise, crisp shape. Depending on whether or not the client would like, the brow can then finished off by filling any sparse areas in with makeup.

This treatment is perfect for clients who are looking to grow their own eyebrows by having them perfectly shaped by a professional. We would recommend a course of 4-5 treatments 4-6 weeks apart with no home tweezing in between for optimum results. It’s also a great option for people wanting to have perfectly defined eyebrows without looking too heavy. It’s a great way to pick up tips from your therapist on how to pencil or powder your own eyebrows to maintain your look in between appointments.

Henna Brows:

Tint lasts 2-4 weeks on skin / 4-6 weeks on hair.
Treatment time- 45-60 minutes
Cost- £35
Minimum age- 16
Patch test required- yes

Being a similar treatment to HD this treatment will create that perfect shape however the henna can leave the desired stain on the skin as well as the hair which is perfect for anyone wanting to make their brows appear a bit thicker and fuller. Henna is an all-natural product and is a great conditioning treatment for the skin and hair around the brow area, it can restore brow growth by up to 60%, and is suitable for anyone with psoriasis.

Henna brows are perfect for anyone that loves their eyebrows darker, fuller and perfectly defined. It is also great for anyone who may have had a reaction to a regular tint patch test as they may find they don’t react to the henna patch test and therefore can have their brows tinted with the henna brow treatment.

Microblading/Semi-permanent Makeup

Lasts- 9-18 months (depending on each individual)
Treatment time- 2 hours
Cost- £350-£400
Minimum age- 18
Patch test required- yes

Microblading or semi-permanent makeup is a treatment whereby pigment is implanted into the upper dermal layer of the skin to mimic hair strokes or a natural powdered look, using a hand-held tool with a number of very fine needles, or the digital machine for different effects.

This long-lasting treatment is perfect for those who want to fully reshape, define or fill in gaps from over plucking, but don’t have the time, patience or ability to pencil or powder their brows daily. When filling in gaps or adding to an existing shape, the results can be extremely natural and undetectable. When completely reconstructing an eyebrow, shading techniques may need to be combined with microblading to achieve the desired look. Regular eyebrow maintenance procedures are recommended, a simple shape and tint is a perfect option for this.
