Eyebrow Wax and Tinting

Eyebrow waxing is a hair removal method that uses warm wax to remove unwanted hair from around the eyebrow area. The process involves applying wax to specific areas where hair removal is desired, then removing it quickly to pull hair from the root. This method allows for precise shaping of the eyebrow area and creates clean, defined lines.

Eyebrow tinting is a cosmetic procedure that applies semi-permanent dye to the eyebrow hairs. The tinting process uses vegetable-based dyes or henna to darken the natural eyebrow colour, making the hairs more visible and defined. This treatment can enhance sparse areas and create a fuller appearance without adding actual hair.

The Process

Eyebrow Waxing

The waxing procedure begins with cleansing the eyebrow area to remove oils and makeup. Warm wax is then applied in the direction of hair growth to areas where hair removal is needed. A cloth strip is pressed onto the wax and removed quickly against the direction of hair growth, removing the hair from the follicle. The process is repeated as needed to achieve the desired shape.

Eyebrow Tinting

Before tinting, the eyebrow area is cleansed and a barrier cream may be applied to the surrounding skin to prevent staining. The selected tint colour is mixed and applied to the eyebrow hairs using a small brush or applicator. The tint is left to process for a specified time (typically 5-15 minutes) before being removed with damp cotton pads.

Duration and Maintenance

Waxing Results

Hair removal through waxing typically lasts 3-6 weeks, as hair is removed from the root. The exact duration depends on individual hair growth rates and hair thickness. Regular waxing appointments help maintain the desired eyebrow shape and may result in finer hair regrowth over time.

Tinting Results

Eyebrow tinting results generally last 4-6 weeks, though this varies based on skin type, hair porosity, and exposure to skincare products. Oily skin types may experience faster fading, while dry skin types may retain colour longer. The tint gradually fades as the hair naturally sheds and regenerates.
