Brow Tint, Dye & Henna
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BROW TINT, DYE & HENNA?
BROW TINT:
- Barely stains the skin, especially if using a light colour
- Lasts for up to 3-5 days on the skin and 3-4 weeks on the brow hairs
- Good for first timers who don't want super dark, stained brows
- 5-10 minute processing time
- Can be done with a brow lamination
BROW DYE:
- Evenly stains the skin with good saturation
- Lasts for up to 7 days on the skin and 6 weeks on the brow hairs
- 10-15 minute processing time
- Good for those who want a step up from brow tint
- Can be done with a brow lamination
BROW HENNA:
- Evenly stains the skin with good saturation
- Lasts for up to 14 days on the skin and 6 weeks on the brow hairs
- Good for those considering getting their brows tattooed - looks similar to ombre tattoo style, and lasts much longer then tint/dye
- 20-25 minute processing time
- CANNOT be done with a brow lamination
Brow waxing/shaping can be done with all. Be sure to book your tint/dye/henna with a wax if you would like a full brow clean-up.
HOW TO PREPARE FOR YOUR BROW TINT/DYE/HENNA APPOINTMENT:
- Shower and wash your hair (if need be) as we recommend avoiding getting your brows wet for 12-24 hours to allow the colour to fully develop
- Remove any makeup and avoid skincare on brow area before coming to your appointment
- Avoid active ingredients such as AHA's, BHA's, glycolic acid, etc. in skin care for 7 days prior, this will allow for even saturation and staining
- Make sure you have selected the right service as each one requires a different amount of time to be put aside
- Manage your expectations of what the outcome will look like. This means if you have patchy, sparse brows or oily skin, the tint/dye/henna will not stain as well and will fade quicker than someone who has fuller brows and a normal skin type. This is not to say they won't still look fabulous though!
BROW TINT/DYE/HENNA AFTERCARE:
- We recommend avoiding getting your brows wet for 12-24 hours to allow the colour to fully develop. This includes showering, steam, saunas and excessive perspiration
- Avoid using oily skincare products on brows, as this will make them fade quicker
- Avoid rubbing, picking or pulling your brows
- Wait 6 weeks before getting brow henna done again, as it can be quite drying. There is no wait time in between tint/ dye appointments though as these are not at all damaging or drying to the brow hairs
- Avoid skin care products with active ingredients in them, on and around brow area as this will cause premature fading
