Brow Lamination
What is a brow lamination?
A lamination is a straight, flat perm for your brows that redirects the hairs and sets them in place for a fuller look. The effect is similar to micro-blading, so clients often try this before committing to a more permanent brow service.
Will my brows be stick to my face?
Not at all. You can comb them like usual, only after a lamination your brows will stay where you comb them. Laminations are great because it allows your brows to keep their shape without the use of a gel or pomade. Aura Beauty Brow Set pomade is great at extending the lamination until your next appointment!
How long does a lamination take?
The entire process takes appx. 45-60 minutes depending on how thick your brows are, and if your service includes a tint and wax. If you are a new client, please arrive 5-10. mins early to fill out a standard brow/lash service consent form.
Does a lamination hurt?
No! There may be some slight redness visible on the skin surrounding the brow area, or minor tingling from the solutions, but any irritation will subside in a couple of hours. Please avoid using skincare with active ingredients (retinal, AHA, BHA, Vitamin C) 1-2 weeks before your appointment to reduce your risk of sensitivity.
How long does a lamination last?
A lamination lasts 4-8 weeks depending on your lifestyle, and aftercare. If you sweat excessively, swim, hot tub or sauna often, you can expect the lamination and tint to last for a shorter period of time (appx. 4-5 weeks).
I donβt have much brow hair, is that okay?
Well, you do have to have some hair available or else there will be nothing to laminate. If you have lots of light/fine brow hairs, or dark, thick or dense brow hairs, a lamination is perfect for you! If you have very over-tweezed brows with limited hair, then using a serum to grow them out should be considered as a first step.
