Brow lamination is a non-invasive treatment that creates fuller, smoother, and more defined brows. It involves lifting and setting the brow hairs in place, giving them a uniform shape for an extended period. The process can help tame unruly brows, fill in gaps, and create the illusion of fuller, more symmetrical brows.
The results typically last 6-8 weeks, depending on your hair growth cycle and aftercare routine.
This service typically takes 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on how much shaping and correction is needed.
Brow tinting is a non-invasive treatment where a semi-permanent dye is applied to enhance the color, shape, and definition of your brows. The tint mainly colors the brow hairs, but it may also stain the skin for a few days. It’s perfect for those with lighter or sparse brows who want a more polished look without the need for daily makeup.
Results usually last around 3-4 weeks, depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare.
This service typically takes 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on how much shaping and correction is needed.
Brow stain is like brow tint but with longer-lasting results. It stains both the brow hairs and the skin underneath, giving you a bolder, more defined look. This is great if you want fuller brows or need extra coverage in sparse areas. While brow tint mainly focuses on coloring the hairs, brow stain gives a more filled-in effect by also coloring the skin.
It typically lasts 4-6 weeks on the hair and up to 2 weeks on the skin, depending on your brow hair, skin type, and lifestyle.
This service typically takes 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on how much shaping and correction is needed.

Customizable: Tailor your look—go natural or dramatic, depending on your style.
Low Maintenance: Minimal upkeep for weeks, so you can enjoy effortless, groomed brows.
Avoid exfoliating treatments, retinol for 2 weeks, and harsh skincare products for 48 hours before your appointment.
Avoid tanning beds for 3 days, and make sure your skin is free of sunburn, pimples, or irritation.
If you’re planning to self-tan, wait until 2 days after your brow service to avoid any unwanted green brows.
Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin, especially on the brow area, and skip tweezing or waxing for 4 weeks so Alissa can design your perfect brow shape.
For the best results, let Alissa know if you have any specific concerns or requests during your consultation.
To maintain your brow lamination, tint, or stain results, avoid getting your brows wet, sweating, sun exposure, steam, swimming, heavy makeup, skincare, or using oily products for at least 24 hours after the treatment.
Brush your brows daily to keep them looking their best, and apply the recommended aftercare products to prolong and enhance the results.
CAN I STILL USE MAKEUP AFTER BROW LAMINATION/TINT ?
Yes, but most clients find that they need less or no brow makeup since their brows are more defined after the treatment.
If you have sensitive skin or are prone to allergies, a patch test can be performed before your treatment to ensure you won’t have any adverse reactions. There are also alternative options available if certain brow services aren’t suitable for your skin type.
If you’re unsure which service is best for you, I offer complimentary brow goal consultations. You can book a FaceTime or in-person consultation to discuss your desired look and determine the best approach to achieve your brow goals. Additionally, during your initial appointment, you will be given a brow goal consultation to ensure your brows are on the right path to perfection.
Achieving your perfect brows is a journey that requires consistency and patience. It often takes multiple appointments to shape, define, and train your brows to your desired look.
Whether you’re growing out your brows, recovering from over-plucking, or aiming for a specific shape, each appointment builds upon the previous one.
This process allows for gradual adjustments, ensuring your brows are shaped in a way that complements your facial features while maintaining their health and integrity.
I recommend booking your appointments 4-6 weeks apart to maintain progress and achieve optimal results.
Absolutely! Every brow appointment is personalized to match your unique facial structure and brow goals. Alissa takes the time to understand your desired look and customizes the treatment to ensure your brows perfectly enhance your natural beauty.
When getting a brow tint or stain, the color will be expertly matched based on your natural hair, brow color, eye color, and skin undertone. Alissa offers a wide range of shades and can even customize a color just for you to achieve the most flattering result.
Will my brows be too dark? Not at all! They might look slightly darker during the first day as the color develops, but by day 3, the shade will settle into a soft, natural tone.
Brow mapping is a precise technique used to design the perfect shape for your brows based on your facial features. It involves measuring specific points on your face to create a symmetrical and balanced brow shape that complements your unique structure. This method ensures that your brows are perfectly aligned and tailored to enhance your natural beauty. Brow mapping is an essential step in achieving a polished and harmonious look, as it allows for customized shaping that highlights your best features.
Choosing between brow lamination, tint, or both depends on your personal brow goals and the look you want to achieve. Brow lamination is ideal for creating fuller, smoother, and more defined brows, while brow tint enhances your natural brow color and definition. Combining both services can offer a complete brow transformation, providing a bold, long-lasting look. During your consultation, we can discuss your specific goals and determine which service or combination will best suit your needs.
Yes, you can combine brow services such as lamination and tint or add on other treatments like lashes. Let us know in advance so we can allocate enough time for all services during your appointment.
Teens can usually start brow services around age 13. For anyone under 18, parental consent is required, and a legal guardian must be present during the appointment. Brow tints and waxing are great options for teens, but brow stains aren’t recommended due to a higher risk of allergic reactions, especially since teen skin is often more sensitive. Brow lamination is also generally not recommended for teens under 18 due to the chemicals involved.
Yes, you can still get brow tinting/staining or lamination even if you’ve had your brows tattooed, microbladed, or have permanent makeup. These services can enhance the color and shape of your existing brows, adding more depth and dimension. However, it’s important to wait until your skin has fully healed before booking these services to avoid irritation.
It depends on the medication. Certain meds, especially those that affect your skin or hair, can impact the treatment or make your skin more sensitive. Be sure to let me know what you’re taking before your appointment to ensure the service is safe for you.
Roaccutane (within the last 12 months)
Blood thinners & antibiotics: Please wait at least 2 weeks before booking your appointment.
Cancer treatment: Your brows need extra care during chemo and recovery. It’s best to avoid any brow treatments until several months after your last session when your brows are less fragile. A letter from your oncologist approving treatment is recommended.
Brow tinting and waxing are generally safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding, though due to hormonal changes, results may vary. However, brow lamination and stain are not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding moms. Please consult your doctor if you have any concerns before booking, and be sure to schedule a patch test if you’re currently pregnant or breastfeeding.
Yes, you can receive a facial and brow treatment on the same day as long as the facial does not involve any exfoliation or deep treatments.
It’s recommended to do the facial first, followed by the brow treatment, to avoid interfering with your brows, as you should not get them wet or expose them to steam for 24 hours after the treatment.
You’ll start with a personalized consultation to discuss your brow goals. Alissa will perform brow mapping to shape your brows based on your facial features, followed by the selected brow service, such as lamination, tint, or wax. You’ll also enjoy a complimentary brow bath with a relaxing temple massage during your appointment.
Yes, both brow lamination and tint/stain are safe and non-invasive treatments. You can even book a patch test online if you’d like to ensure there are no adverse reactions.
I use high-quality, hypoallergenic wax that’s gentle on the skin, leaving little to no redness and minimizing irritation. Most guests feel little to no pain during the service, and the wax is designed to prevent skin lifting or damage.
For the best results, Alissa recommends booking your brow appointment 3 days before your event or vacation.
This gives your brows time to settle into the perfect look. By day 3, they’ll be looking their best and ready to last through your event or trip!
Keep in mind, if you’ll be swimming, hitting the beach, or spending a lot of time in the sun, the color may fade a bit faster due to exposure to water and sunlight.
It’s best to wait at least one week before or after Botox, fillers, or any cosmetic treatments to avoid shifting the product or irritating your skin.
If you plan to get both in the same week, schedule your brows first, followed by your cosmetic treatment for the best results.
Yes! Brow lamination can help give the appearance of fuller, fluffier brows, even for those with thinner brows.
Yes, but avoid getting the brow area wet for at least 24 hours and steamy showers to ensure the tint and lamination have properly set.
If your brows are feeling a bit dry after lamination, no worries! You can apply a nourishing brow serum or a little castor oil to hydrate them after the 24-hour setting period.
For an extra boost, try using a hydrating conditioner like Olaplex — let it sit on your brows for 5 minutes and then rinse it off. Doing this once a week will keep your brows soft and healthy.
No, brow tinting/staining and lamination are not painful. Both treatments are non-invasive and typically involve minimal discomfort. You may feel a slight tingling sensation during lamination due to the lifting solution, but this should not be painful. If you experience any discomfort, be sure to let me know so I can adjust the treatment.
To maintain your desired brow shape and look, I recommend booking maintenance appointments every 4-6 weeks. Regular touch-ups ensure your brows remain polished and well-defined
Regular brow maintenance helps you achieve and sustain the perfect brow shape that enhances your facial features. Consistent appointments allow for minor adjustments over time, resulting in a more refined and natural look.
Your satisfaction is my top priority. If you’re not completely happy with your brow service, please let me know within 48 hours so we can discuss your concerns and make any necessary adjustments.
Yes, alcohol is fine during your brow service. Since this is a non-invasive procedure that works on the top layer of the skin, and brow tinting/lamination is not the same as permanent makeup or microblading, there are no significant risks associated with alcohol consumption before or during the service.
