A groomed set of brows make any look pop. As one of the most important facial features today, we put a lot of effort into keeping brows in shape, sometimes working with brow artists to lend us a hand. Among the many treatments out there for brows, few have maintained their spot at the top of the list, loved by those who have given them a try.
One such treatment is brow tinting, a semi-permanent way to spruce up brows with a subtle, natural hint of color. A treatment that’s so quick and gentle produces stunning results, revealing fluffier, fuller-looking brows. Tinting makes your brows look fuller by coating brows with a nourishing tint, which darkens and thickens each individual hair. Below, we’ve got more on tinting and a look at the pros and cons of one of today’s most sought-after treatments.
What Is Brow Tinting?
Brow tinting is a brow treatment meant to add more depth and definition to the brows. Using a semi-permanent dye, artists coat brows, allowing the tint to sit before gently wiping it off. The result is darker, thicker, fuller brows that instantly lift the face. This could shave time off brow grooming and filling when doing makeup and, on top of that, results can last up to 6 weeks. Now you see why clients are raving?!
Brow Tinting at The Brow Fixx
Here at The Brow Fixx, we want each tinting treatment to bring out the best of your brows. We use gentle, skin-loving formulas that won’t irritate the skin or the eyes. Tinting takes about 15 to 20 minutes but, before we begin, we want to hear about your brow goals.
The Consultation
Before your eyebrow tinting treatment, our brow artists will sit down with you for a quick chat. They want to hear your brow goals, using their skills and experience to make them happen. After assessing goals, face shape, and current brow shape, artists will choose a tint. They work with skin tone and hair color to find the perfect match, making sure the chosen shade compliments you.
The Treatment
Once the perfect shade is selected, brow artists will coat brows with a thick layer. This will be allowed to sit for about 15 to 20 minutes while you sit back and relax. Once the tint has settled in, brow artists will gently wipe it away and brush through brows to check out the result.
Eyebrow Shaping
Using eyebrow waxing, threading, or a mix of both, artists will clean up any stray hairs and whip brows up into the perfect face-complementing shape before showing you the final results.
The Reveal
After a quick brush-through and a dusting of brow powder (if needed) artists will give you your first look at your new brows. We’re sure you’ll be amazed and able to enjoy the fuller, more defined look for up to 6 weeks.
Eyebrow Tinting Pros and Cons
While it all may sound too good to be true, eyebrow tinting is not without faults. Before considering brow tinting with The Brow Fixx, here are a few pros and cons of eyebrow tinting that you should be aware of.
The Pros:
Eyebrow Tinting Is Quick
The actual treatment takes around 20 minutes from dye application to the reveal. At The Brow Fixx, we aim for 30 to 45 minutes so that we can include a consult and a quick eyebrow shaping before we send you on your way.
Eyebrow Tinting Makes Brows Look Fuller
One of the main reasons why clients love brow tinting is because it makes their brows look instantly fuller. The dye defines and thickens each individual hair, leaving behind a fuller set of brows.
Eyebrow Tinting Makes Eyebrow Filling a Breeze
Filling in eyebrows can be a pain. Drawing individual hairs every morning just hoping that everything goes okay before you walk out of the door. When tinting the eyebrows, filling in gaps is easier, as brows appear fuller and thicker. You may just have to brush a few light strokes and go or just comb up brows and add a little gel for a more natural look.
Eyebrow Tinting Lasts Up To 6 Weeks
Results are great and, as long as you take care of your brows, you can keep them for up to 6 weeks. That means less time in the salon and more time out and about showing off your new set of brows.
Eyebrow Tinting Gives you an Instant Facelift
Eyebrows frame the face and accentuate the shape. Because the eyes are such a defining feature, more defined brows give the entire face a lift, making the eyes appear larger and more awakened. You’ll notice a brighter and more radiant you once you start paying more attention to your brows.
The Cons:
It’s Not Permanent
Wouldn’t it be nice to extend results? While results can last up to 6 weeks, they don’t last forever – although that means you’ll have to come back in and see us!
Some Chemicals Do Not Mix
The dye used for eyebrow tinting is highly pigmented, which can leave behind discoloration around the brows. This might make you want to scrub it off but, that could remove your tint and reduce the length of your results. Your brow artists will apply carefully to avoid the skin, so don’t overdo it with harsh scrubs to extend results.
Length of Results Are Not Guaranteed
The amount of time your brow tint will last depends on a number of factors. Your hair growth, your exposure to sunlight, and your skincare routine can all have an effect. While your artist will share some dos and don’ts of eyebrow tinting and aftercare, the length of time you can enjoy your tint is not set in stone.
