Eyebrow Retouch

Why do you need a brow retouch?

Sometimes when your brows go through the healing process, they can lose the odd hairstroke and they can also soften in colour.

The eyebrow retouch visit service that Rebecca Jayne’s provide is available to correct any imperfections.

It also allows your technician to work cautiously on the first appointment. Here is a great example of starting super subtle for my client. We started with very natural hairstrokes (second photo) as Laura was unsure of how strong she wanted her brows.

Once they had healed she had the chance to see them healed, wear them and get used to them for a few weeks. So it was an easy decision to make when she came back to me. She fancied them a little darker with a little more shading.

How to get thicker eyebrows- Brow Lamination aka Fluffy brows

August 19, 2019 | Lashes / Brows / Waxing | Comment (1)

The Brow secret everyone is dying to know right now- How to get thicker, fluffier eyebrows!

Everybody wants to know, how to get thicker eyebrows! The good news, we have found the perfect solution.

We invited Becca Thornton to come and try out our brand new treatment, Brow Lamination, aka Fluffy Brows! Never heard of it, we hear you say. This incredible new treatment has only very recently been introduced to the industry.

So in true Rebecca Jaynes style, we wanted to be the first to bring this innovative treatment to our clients. If you would like any further information please feel free to get in touch.

Meanwhile, over to our lovely Becca to explain what makes this treatment so hot right now …

Well, this Brow treatment is certainly all it’s fluffed up to be. It’s my new best tip on how to get thicker eyebrows!

After years of spending time filling in my brows and mascara to “fluff” them up and always thinking how to get thicker eyebrows, I think I’ve found the ideal affordable brow treatment for me!

My first thought when I heard of the Fluffy Brow treatment was hallelujah!! The reason I wanted to try this treatment was simple. It looks so natural and I can ditch all my products because they are no longer needed! For years I have tried to keep my brows “combed up” but time after time they always seem to drop!

The thing I love most is that it’s all my own natural brows and after having the treatment done, I have gone completely product free! My brows appear fuller, each individual hair looks thicker with an overall tidy fluffy look. Which you can make as wild as you like by the way!

Treatment results can last up to 8 weeks meaning it’s such an affordable way to keep your brows on top form at only £38!

It takes about an hour and is completely pain-free. I could sit back and enjoy chatting to my therapist and relaxing whilst putting all my trust in her with no doubts necessary!

The other thing I love about this brow treatment is that you don’t have to have particularly thick brows. The treatment helps to expand the hairs and creates a more tailored fuller brow!

The steps are simple yet there’s lots of attention to detail!

Your therapist will first discuss with you how fluffy you will like your brows. Then how groomed you like them taking into consideration the tint colour too.
The first step was the prepping of the brows and removing any oily residue or makeup.
This next step is the one I found most interesting! It’s a substance that is applied to the brow hair which breaks down the bonds of the brow hair making the hair easily manipulated into its new shape!
My therapist then brushed my hairs into place, exactly how I wanted them, paying close attention to detail!
The next solution then replaces the bonds to create a new direction to the hair once the hair has been manipulated.
Then the tint of my choice was applied. I always go for brown for my desired brow look and to make them appear thicker!
I then had my eyebrows shaped using wax which was very pain-free. Following the nourishing lotion which was applied to my brows!

Overall I think this brow treatment has been a game-changer for me. I feel so confident with how they look. And I don’t have to ask myself over again how to get thicker eyebrows! The aftercare has been very simple too. I just brush them up in the morning combing the hairs into the direction they have been manipulated too and I only had to wait for 24hrs until I could get them wet.

The Fluffy Brow is just perfect and very on-trend at the moment too! Here are some celebrities I was inspired by and the famous soap brow hack that became popular a few years back in Teen Vogue which achieves a similar look.

Everything you need to know about ombrè powder brows

July 15, 2019 | Lashes / Brows / Waxing, Microblading & PMU | Comment (4)

There’s no doubt fluffy, natural brows are having a moment. Forget the pencil-thin, overplucked brows of the 90s. Now it’s about embracing a fuller look that enhances your appearance. Introducing, Ombré Powder brows.

Between powders, pencils, tints and permanent makeup, there are so many options to help you get the perfect brows. One thing we’re loving right now is ombrè powder brows. This amazing new brow shaping technique gives effortlessly full and natural brows with just enough definition to give you that polished look. All while saving you precious prep time in the morning.

What are ombrè powder brows?

Ombrè powder brows are a type of semi-permanent makeup technique, similar to microblading. Using a specialised machine, hundreds of tiny dots of pigment are placed under the skin. The effect is a soft yet full finish that looks like you’ve filled in your brows with powder – without spending all that time in the mirror each morning.

Powder brows vs microblading

In many ways, powder brows and microblading are similar. Both use a semi-permanent makeup technique to give long-lasting results.

Microblading is done with a very fine hand-held tool to create strokes of colour that mimic eyebrow hairs. It’s ideal for filling-out existing brows and creating volume.

Powdered brows give a softer, more natural look. It’s more defined than microblading and is ideal for creating depth and adding colour. But you don’t actually have to choose. Both methods can be combined to create a custom look, fill in gaps, and add volume.

Are ombrè powder brows right for me?

If you’re after a bold, full brow, while cutting down your time spent getting ready in the morning, then ombrè powder brows may be perfect for you.

If you’re considering powder brows (or any permanent makeup for that matter) it’s good to do a bit of research first. Take a look at lots of before-and-after images of brows to see if you actually like the look of filled in brows (we have lots of images on our Instagram).

It’s also good to gather some brow-spiration of what you’d like to achieve. You can show these to your specialist to help guide them in creating your brows.

How to get ombrè powder brows?

The procedure itself is pretty simple but the whole process can take up to two hours. First, our resident brow specialist will sit down with you to assess your face shape and discuss your ideal brow look.

Before your treatment, we’ll apply an anaesthetic to the area to numb the skin before marking out the brow shape to make sure you’re totally happy with the placement and look. After this, we will begin applying the pigment to the brows, stopping regularly to check that everything looks good, while you lie there and relax.

Things to know before you go

There are a few things to know before you turn up at your appointment. You’ll need to take care of your skin in the weeks prior by avoiding excessive sunlight or tanning beds, and some types of skincare and other treatments. You’ll also want to stay off the alcohol and avoid certain medication for 48 hours beforehand. Retinol is a big no no for at least 6 weeks prior to having your brows tattooed or microbladed. It’s important not to use it anywhere on the face as retinol get’s into the blood stream and travels to other areas of the face such as the brows.

After your treatment, you’ll have to carefully follow the aftercare information to get the best results. This includes avoiding getting your brows wet for two weeks so the pigment can settle

under the skin. This might sound difficult, but your technician will give you tips so you can still shower and clean your face while keeping your brows dry.

We’ve got more on the pre-treatment and aftercare on our website. {link to these pages}

How long will my brows last?

Once you’ve gone through all that to get gorgeous brows, you want to know that they’re going to last. What’s great about the powder brow technique is that they actually last a relatively long time.

Because the pigment is placed deeper in the skin, it takes longer to wear and fade, compared to microblading. In fact, you can expect your powder brows to last from one to three years (yes, that’s years). All you need is an annual touch up to keep them looking on point.

Where to go for ombrè powder brows?

Trusting someone with your brows is a big deal – we’ve all seen the results of a bad brow job online. Rebecca, our resident permanent makeup specialist, has trained with Nouveau Contour, the leaders in permanent makeup, and worked as a trainer for Karen Betts and Nouveau Beauty Group for many years. She has performed hundreds of brow treatments, working with all types of clients to help them achieve flawless brows.

Perfecting your Eyebrows- How do I know which Brow treatment is right for me?

July 19, 2018 | Lashes / Brows / Waxing | Comments (0)

Natural looking brows

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.

Longer Lasting Lashes

June 25, 2016 | Beauty tips, Lashes / Brows / Waxing | Comments (0)

The key to longer lasting lashes is all about teamwork between you and your lash specialist.

Your lash specialist will give you a full set of luscious lashes and provide an infill every 2-4 weeks to bring your lashes back to life! Lashes should all be personalised to suit you. Whether you are looking for; length, fullness, natural or eye catching there are lots of options in the Individual and Russian Volume range to suit your individual style. All you need to do between your infill appointments, is look after your lashes using a few simple tips to ensure they last as long as possible and you keep your natural lashes nice and healthy.

So here’s what you need to do…

-Allow the glue to bond between your natural lash and your lash extension for 48 hours by avoiding water, steam, saunas, swimming and sweat. Lashes may fall out early if the glue isn’t given enough time to dry so wash around the eyes and avoid rubbing.

-Protect the bond between your natural lash and your lash extension by using a clear coating sealant for a glossy high shine or black coating sealant for a more dramatic mascara look for Individual Lashes only.

– Avoid using mascara or strip lash adhesive with your lash extensions as these products will clump your lashes together and the weight from the products will pull on your lashes causing your lashes to fall about before they are ready.

– Time to train yourself to sleep on your back- this may be tricky at first for those of you that sleep face down in your pillow but to keep your lashes looking perfectly gorgeous everyday you will soon get use to this. The pressure from sleeping on your lashes will causes your lashes to fall out sooner.

– Oil will break down the bond between your natural lash and lash extension therefore avoid oily eye make-up and stick to a non-oily eye makeup remover, a water based product is perfect. Cleanse your eye area morning and night with your eye makeup remover on a cotton wool bud to remove eyeshadow, eyeliner and mascara from your bottom lashes and to keep the skin around your eye area fresh and clean. Breaking the bond with oily products will cause the lashes to fall out and make Russian Volume lash fans close up leaving you with clumpy, sparse lashes.

– Your lashes have been pre curled and picked specially for you, so avoid eyelash curlers and perming as these will destroy your lash extensions, ensure your lash specialist discusses your desired lash look before your treatment begins.

– Now you have an extension on your lashes let’s treat these like your hair and give them a little comb morning and night after cleansing and once dry to keep your lashes amazing from one appointment to the next.

As your own lashes will naturally fall out a new lash will regrow. At your 2-4 week lash infill appointment your lash specialist will apply new lash extensions to new natural lashes. Therefore it is essential you follow our longer lasting lashes tips to keep your natural lashes healthy and keep your new lashes fuller for longer!

I hope you find this information useful, and if you have any questions about the lash extensions I offer, feel free to comment below or call our salon.
