Fluffy, brushed-up brows that last weeks
Brow lamination smooths and lifts your natural brow hairs into a fuller, on-trend shape that lasts 4–6 weeks — no tattoo, nothing permanent. Add a tint to deepen the colour, or pair it with a lash lift for a full wake-up-ready look. It’s also the best way to try a fuller brow before committing to microblading.
What brow lamination is — and isn’t
Brow lamination is a chemical re-set, not a tattoo and not a tint. A softening solution relaxes the bond in each brow hair so it can be brushed into a new direction, then a neutralising solution sets it there. The hairs you already have get redirected upward and outward and held that way.
Nothing is added and nothing is permanent. It grows out gradually over about 4–6 weeks as your brow hairs follow their own cycle. If you decide it isn’t for you, you simply stop.
Who it suits best
- Unruly or coarse brows that never sit where you put them — lamination is the single most effective fix.
- Brows with gaps — brushing hairs upward covers sparse patches with the hair you already have, often making a pencil unnecessary.
- Flat or downward-growing brows — lifting the hairs opens the eye area noticeably.
- Anyone curious about brow tattooing — lamination gives you a fuller brow for a few weeks with zero commitment. A genuinely useful trial run before microblading.
If your brows are already very fine and sparse, lamination has less to work with. Adding a tint helps considerably, and we will tell you honestly what to expect.
Lamination, tint, or both?
Lamination changes the direction and shape. A tint changes the colour and definition, darkening the fine, fair hairs at the edges that normally read as invisible.
Most people get the biggest visual change from the two together — laminated brows give you the shape, and the tint makes that shape actually show up. Lamination is $80; Lamination & Tint is $90, which is why most clients choose the pair.
Aftercare
Keep brows dry for the first two hours and avoid steam, heavy sweat and makeup on the area. That window is when the new shape sets.
After that, brush them into shape each morning with a spoolie — ten seconds is all it takes. Because the process softens the hair, a nourishing brow oil or conditioner keeps them in good condition between appointments; we’ll recommend one if your brows need it. Book roughly every 6 weeks, and don’t re-laminate sooner than that.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is brow lamination?
Brow lamination is a non-permanent treatment that relaxes and re-sets your natural brow hairs into a fuller, brushed-up, on-trend shape — no tattoo required. It’s perfect for taming unruly brows or creating a fluffier look.
How long does brow lamination last?
About 4–6 weeks, following your natural brow growth cycle, with simple aftercare.
Can I add a tint to brow lamination?
Yes — a tint deepens the colour and pairs beautifully with lamination for added definition. We offer Brow Lamination at $80, or Brow Lamination & Tint at $90.
What’s the aftercare for brow lamination?
Keep your brows dry and avoid steam, heavy sweat and makeup on the area for the first 2 hours. After that, brush them into shape daily and apply a nourishing oil if recommended to keep the hairs conditioned.
Is brow lamination the same as microblading?
No. Lamination re-sets the brow hairs you already have and grows out in 4–6 weeks. Microblading is a semi-permanent cosmetic tattoo that lasts 1–3 years. Lamination is a good way to try a fuller brow before committing to tattooing.
Will it work if my brows are sparse?
Lamination works with the hair you have — brushing hairs upward can cover gaps surprisingly well. On very fine or sparse brows the effect is subtler, and adding a tint makes a noticeable difference. We’ll give you an honest read at your appointment.
How long does the appointment take?
About 45 minutes for lamination; adding a tint or a brow wax doesn’t add much time.
How often can I get it done?
Roughly every 6 weeks. Re-laminating sooner than that doesn’t give the hair enough recovery time, so we’d rather wait and keep your brows in good condition.
