What is Brow Lamination?
Brow Lamination is a beauty treatment that gives you fuller, perfectly shaped brows. It works by setting the brow hairs in place, creating a smooth, lifted look that lasts for weeks. Think of it as a perm for your brows, but instead of curls, you're getting sleek, tamed brows that are easy to style with way more volume.
How does Brow Lamination work?
The entire process typically takes 30-45 minutes and can last up to eight weeks. The Brow Professional applies a lifting solution, like our No. 1 Relaxing Solution, which softens the hair and makes it more pliable. This step is crucial as it allows the hairs to be easily styled into the desired position.
Once the brows are shaped, a setting solution is applied to lock the hairs in place. Our No. 2 The Laminate is perfect for this, as it ensures a long-lasting, smooth finish. To complete the treatment, a nourishing elixir is used to condition and protect the brows. Our No. 3 Nourishing Elixir is specially formulated to hydrate and strengthen the brow hairs, leaving them looking healthy and shiny.
5 Things to know to check if Brow Lamination is for you
-
Brow Lamination is for everyone
No matter your brow type—sparse, thick, or somewhere in between—Brow Lamination can work for you! It's a versatile treatment that can be customized to give you the look you want. It’s loved by clients and brow professionals worldwide for a reason!
-
Gives you fluffy, thicker brows
It lifts and sets your brow hairs, making them look thicker and more defined. But if you're a little nervous about going too bold, don't worry! You can always test the look with our Brow Control styling wax before committing, or opt for a baby brow lamination for a softer, more natural effect.
-
It is low maintenance
While Brow Lamination helps keep your brows looking neat and tidy, it doesn't mean you can skip styling altogether. You'll still need to shape and groom them, but the process will be much easier. Think of it as a way to set the foundation, so you spend less time perfecting your brows daily. You can use our Brow Control to keep your brows in shape together with Brow Lamination!
-
Nourishes the brows
Some people worry that Brow Lamination might cause hair loss, but actually one of the steps in the treatment nourishes your brow hairs, keeping them healthy and strong. So, there's no need to fret about losing those precious brow hairs!
It’s just important to keep enough time in between appointments to not overprocess the brow hairs. Brow lamination appointments should typically be spaced about 6 to 8 weeks apart. This interval allows enough time for the eyebrow hairs to grow and for the effects of the previous lamination treatment to wear off naturally. Spacing appointments too closely can potentially damage the brow hairs and skin due to the chemicals used in the lamination process. So, yes definitely go for it, but give them a break in between to keep them healthy!

Gives the effect of Microblading
Brow Lamination can give you a polished, well-groomed look similar to microblading, but without the long-term commitment (it lasts up to 8 weeks). It's perfect if you're curious about the microbladed look but not quite ready to go for a semi-permanent solution.
What about Baby Brow Lamination?
If the idea of full Brow Lamination feels a bit too bold for you, Baby Brow Lamination might be the perfect alternative. This softer, more subtle version of the treatment focuses only on the front section of your brows, giving them a slight lift and fluffiness while keeping the rest of your brows more natural.
Baby Brow Lamination is ideal for those who want to dip their toes into the world of Brow Lamination without fully committing to a dramatic change. It's perfect for achieving a natural, everyday look that still defines your brows' shape and fullness. Plus, it's a great way to see how your brows respond to the treatment before going all-in with full lamination. Wanna learn more?

What not to do with Laminated Brows
Aftercare is crucial for maintaining the beautiful results of your Brow Lamination. Proper care can extend the life of the treatment and keep your brows looking their best. Here are some key things to avoid to ensure your laminated brows stay flawless:
1. Avoid water for the first 24 hours
After your lamination, it's really important to keep your brows dry for at least 24 hours. Water can interfere with the setting process, causing the brows to lose their shape and definition. So, skip the steamy showers, swimming, and sweating for a day!
2. No rubbing or touching
Resist the urge to touch or rub your brows, especially in the first few days. This can disrupt the setting process and cause the brows to lose their sleek appearance. Gentle care is key.
3. Stay away from oily products
Oils can break down the chemicals used in Brow Lamination, shortening the lifespan of your results. Avoid using oil-based makeup removers, skincare products, and even oily shampoos and conditioners around your brows.
4. Skip the sauna
High heat and humidity can cause your brows to lose their shape. It's best to avoid saunas, steam rooms, and even hot yoga sessions for the first week after your treatment.
5. No harsh exfoliants
Avoid using harsh exfoliants or facial scrubs around your brow area. These can irritate the skin and disrupt the lamination process, potentially causing the brow hairs to become loose or uneven.
By following these simple aftercare tips, you can enjoy beautifully laminated brows for weeks to come. So, when you plan your first appointment for Brow Lamination, make sure you don't have hot yoga or summer vacation planned too soon after your brow session.
Is Brow Lamination worth It?
Without a doubt, we can say YES, Brow Lamination is worth it. Whether you're looking for a low-maintenance beauty solution or want to try a trend without a long-term commitment, Brow Lamination might be just what you need. Brow Lamination can improve a lot of different eyebrow wishes. With proper aftercare and the right products, like our Brow Control styling gel, you can enjoy stunning brows that last for weeks.
Remember, if you're new to Brow Lamination or worried about the intensity, you can always start with Baby Brow Lamination for a softer, more natural look. And, as always, it's best to consult with a professional to ensure you get the best results. So go ahead, book that appointment, and get ready to get full and fluffy brows!
