Brow treatments are not interchangeable — they solve different problems. Here is the honest decision tree we walk every client through before they sit in the chair.
What each one does
Lamination restructures the hair itself — brushed-up, editorial, holds for weeks. Henna stains both hair and the skin beneath for a soft powder-filled effect. Tint is a quick oxidative dye for the hairs only.
The comparison
| Treatment | Solves | Lasts | Time | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lamination | Flat, unruly, downward-growing hairs | 4–6 weeks | 45 min | $70 |
| Henna | Sparse brows with visible gaps | 2–3 weeks | 40 min | $50 |
| Tint | Blonde or graying hairs needing definition | 1–2 weeks | 20 min | $25 |
Our verdict
Shape and color in one visit, holds a month or more, and the combo earns the 10% pairing discount with any lash service. If your brows are sparse rather than unruly — start with henna instead.
All three are fully reversible. No needles, no tattoo, no 18-month commitment — skip a cycle and your brows return to factory settings.
Match the problem, not the trend
Start with what's actually wrong. Sparse brows with visible gaps want henna — it stains the skin between the hairs, so bare patches read as filled even where nothing grows. Unruly, flat or downward-growing hairs want lamination, which resets their direction and holds them up. Pale hairs — blonde or graying only — want a tint, which brings faint hairs into view without changing the shape.
Over-plucked brows are the odd one out here. No dye grows a hair back — that one takes patience and a different chair, so we've given it its own section below. Color and shape can't do that job.
Growing brows back
If years of tweezing left permanent thin spots, the honest fix is time — the hair grows back on its own schedule. Book a Brow Tweeze ($35, 25 min) and we pull only the strays sitting outside your shape. Everything inside the line stays, so the gaps have something to fill in with.
That's the opposite of a wax, which lifts a whole strip at once. While the brow fills in, a lamination lays your longer hairs across the thin patches, so it looks fuller now instead of only in three months. It buys you the look while nature catches up.
The first 24 hours
All three treatments share one rule: keep the area dry for the first 24 hours. No water and no steam — that rules out the gym, the sauna, and a long hot shower with your face in the spray. Skip brow makeup that first day too, and don't rub or pick at the hairs.
It matters most for henna and tint. Water in the first day lifts the color early and cuts the hold short. Give it the full day and the stain sets the way it should. Rinse gently after that and you're back to normal.
How long it holds, when to come back
Tint ($25) fades first, in 1–2 weeks — treat it as a quick top-up between bigger appointments. Henna ($50) holds 2–3 weeks; the skin stain lifts a little before the hair color does. Lamination ($70) is the long one at 4–6 weeks — rebook once the hairs stop holding the brush-up.
Whatever you pick, booking brows alongside any lash service takes 10% off both — one visit, one discount, nothing to remember at checkout. You can book both online in one slot.
