Eyebrow Tinting

Eyebrow tinting is the process of applying semi-permanent dye to enhance, shape, and define your brows. It gives the appearance of thicker, more youthful looking brows. Eyebrow tinting works on skin types, skin tones, and hair colours. We're not making brows darker, we’re just matching your natural colour. Your eyebrows will look defined without a slick of makeup. If you’re not lucky enough to have naturally bushy brows and luscious lashes then tinting is a quick and easy way to make your eyes look larger without the need for makeup. Tinting makes your brows look thicker, darker and longer, and the added structure adds volume to sparser brows. AT THE SALON You’ll first consult with our specialist to discuss how full and natural you want your brows to look. You can choose a colour which compliments or contrasts with your hair and eye colour and skin tone. Then the specialist will prep the area, cleaning the brows and applying a thin layer of petroleum jelly around them to prevent any accidental skin staining. The dye is then mixed and carefully applied, first in the direction of how your brow hairs grow and then a second layer is applied in the opposite direction. The dye is left on for a few minutes to attain optimal colour, then any excess is removed with a damp paper towel. If you see dye on the skin underneath your brows, that will wash away after a day or two. It might be a good idea to schedule your first appointment on a Friday, so you can monitor the results over the weekend. AFTERWARDS The effect lasts for around 6 weeks - the time it takes for the hair to grow or fall out. A strong look will require a more frequent maintenance. You’ll want to avoid getting your brows wet for 12 hours after getting the treatment done and to clean around the area with gel or cream-based cleansers. Your brows will stand out and look fuller right away. The tint lasts anywhere from three to six weeks. To maintain colour, we suggest you to come in every four to six weeks for touch-ups. Please try to avoid exfoliating or use of any oil-based products in that area as it will cause the tint to fade faster. Also avoid any products that might further irritate the thin eyebrow skin, such as retinoids and retinols. It is good to apply a thin layer of Vaseline or Aquaphor to the surrounding skin as a form of protection barrier between the dye and your skin.
