Why a man should have his eyebrows shaped
Eyebrow shaping used to be seen as a “woman thing,” with many men worrying that grooming their brows might make them look less masculine. But in 2024, that’s an outdated mindset! Just like a sharp haircut or well-kept beard, clean, well-shaped eyebrows can enhance your overall look without compromising your masculinity.
As we age, our facial hair changes—brow hairs can become longer, thicker, and more unruly. If you’ve got fuller brows with longer hairs, even a quick trim can give your face a more open, refreshed appearance. Groomed brows are a must for maintaining a neat, modern look in 2024!

How to get groomed, natural-looking eyebrows as a man
These days, many salons and barbershops offer eyebrow services tailored for men. But how do you find the right place, and what should you expect from a brow treatment? Don’t worry, we’ve got some tips to help you out!
1. Be clear about your needs
2. Choose the right hair removal technique
When shaping your brows, it’s important to pick the right hair removal method that suits your skin and hair type. If you have sensitive skin or react quickly to wax, waxing might not be the best option for you. For those with fine brow hairs, threading could be a better choice as it's gentle and precise.3. Find a salon or barber where you feel comfortable
When getting your brows done for the first time, feeling comfortable is key. You might prefer to stick with your trusted barber who already takes care of your hair and beard, or you might want to visit a specialized brow bar for expert shaping. The choice is yours—go with what makes you feel most at ease.
We get it—trying to shape your brows at home can easily go wrong. That’s why it might be better to consult a professional first. Not only will they show you how it’s done, but you’ll leave with perfectly groomed brows and some tips on how to maintain them between visits!
DIY Men’s eyebrow grooming
Prefer to handle your own brows? No problem! Grooming your eyebrows at home is totally doable with the right tools and techniques. Here are some essentials you’ll need to shape and maintain your brows like a pro.
Tweezers
Tweezers are a must for precision hair removal. They allow you to target individual hairs and shape your brows with accuracy.
How to use: Clean the area with Pro Cleanser where you want to tweeze. Pinch the skin between your index and middle fingers, then pull the hair in the direction of growth with a quick, smooth motion. Avoid pulling upwards for better results.
Scissors
Perfect for trimming long, bushy hairs, eyebrow scissors help tidy things up for a fresh look.
How to use: Brush your eyebrow hairs upward with an eyebrow brush. Trim off 1-2 mm of hair with the scissors. Brush the hairs back into place, and repeat if necessary until you get the desired length.
Razor
If you want to avoid tweezing or have finer downy hairs, an eyebrow razor is a gentle alternative.
How to use: Apply a bit of skin oil to the area you want to shave. Tighten the skin and gently shave the hairs in the direction of hair growth. This method is great for quick touch-ups.
Eyebrow Gel
Got unruly brows that just won’t stay in place? Eyebrow gel is your go-to for taming wild hairs and keeping them neat. We have just the right gel for you—our Brow Control, which doesn’t leave white stains behind and keeps your brows looking natural.
How to use: Brush your eyebrows into the desired shape, then apply the gel over them to set the look. The Brow Control comes with a little brush - and it's so easy to use!
Eyebrow Brush
An eyebrow brush (spoolie) is an essential tool for keeping your brows tidy. Use it to brush hairs into place and prep them for trimming or applying other products. Find our Spoolie Brush to keep your brows in top shape.
Eyebrow Care
Your brows need extra care too! After grooming, keep them healthy and nourished. Check out our brow care products like Nourishing Defense Balm or Elixir No. 3 to support growth and nourishment, ensuring your brows stay full and healthy.
How to maintain your eyebrows
Once you’ve shaped your brows, keeping them trimmed and maintained should become part of your regular grooming routine—just like your haircuts. The frequency depends on how fast your hair grows. Some men need to trim their eyebrows every 2 weeks, while others can go 4-5 weeks between trims. Regular upkeep will keep your brows looking sharp and well-groomed!
