Eyebrows are an important facial feature which frame and highlight your face. While eyebrow gels, pencils, tattoos and serums can help enhance the appearance of your brows, eyebrow tinting is a great semi-permanent option without the pain or invasive alternative treatments.
Eyebrow tint enhances colour, shape and thickness using eyebrow tint without smudging or rubbing off. The benefits are immediate. The technique uses a form of hair dye developed for specific use on the eyebrow hairs. Please note, tinting only darkens hair and not the skin.
We have a range of colours available to suit all hair colours and skin tones.
What to Expect?
Eyebrow tinting starts with cleansing the brow area, then, your therapist will mix your desired eyebrow tint shade. The tint is then carefully placed on the brow hair and left on to develop. Once developed, the therapist will remove the excess tint with damp cotton pads.
