Everything You Need to Know About Brow Lamination!
Have you always wanted full, perfectly shaped brows without spending a lot of time styling them every morning? Then Brow Lamination might just be the treatment for you! In this detailed blog post, we’ll tell you everything you need to know about this popular treatment, including pre- and post-care, frequently asked questions, and how we work in our salon.
What is Brow Lamination?
Brow Lamination is a treatment that essentially trains your brow hairs to stay in the desired shape and direction. The effect is similar to a brow lift, but less permanent. Using special lotions, the hairs are first softened, then combed into shape, and finally fixed in place. The result? Full, shiny, and perfectly shaped brows that stay beautiful for up to 8 weeks!
How Do We Perform the Treatment?
Before we begin, we’ll discuss your preferences and determine the ideal brow shape for your face. We start by thoroughly cleansing the brows and applying a setting lotion that softens the hairs. Now, we can carefully shape the brows using a special brush.
Between the setting and fixing lotion, we apply a nourishing silky balm that strengthens and nourishes the hairs, keeping them healthy and shiny. If desired, we can also tint the brows for a more intense result. We use both regular and hybrid dye, depending on your preference. Curious about the difference between regular and hybrid dye?

After fixing the brows with the fixing lotion, we further style the hairs and apply a nourishing brow botox for an extra boost.
Contraindications: When Should You Avoid Brow Lamination?
Although Brow Lamination is a safe treatment, there are some contraindications to be aware of:
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Sensitive or damaged skin around the brows
Certain skin conditions like psoriasis or eczema
Recent brow tattoos or permanent makeup (wait at least 6 weeks)
Use of certain medications like Roaccutane

Pre-Treatment Recommendations:
To get the best results from your Brow Lamination, follow these tips before your appointment:
Avoid using makeup, creams, or oils around your brows 24 hours before the treatment
Leave your brows untouched for at least two weeks before the treatment—no tweezing, waxing, or plucking!
Avoid tanning beds or excessive sun exposure in the week before your appointment to prevent skin irritation
On the day of the treatment, avoid using eye or facial creams, makeup, or self-tanner around your brows
Post-Care: How to Maintain Your Laminated Brows
To enjoy your beautifully laminated brows for as long as possible, proper aftercare is essential:
Keep your brows dry and avoid touching them for the first 24 hours after the treatment to prevent irritation
Avoid direct sun exposure, saunas, pools, and intense exercise
Don’t use oil-based products around your brows for the first 24 hours
Avoid makeup around your brows for 24 hours after the treatment
For the first week, don’t use scrubs, peels, or other harsh skincare products around your brows
Protect your brows from the sun with a high SPF to minimize color fading
Regularly nourish your brows with a brow gel or oil to keep them in top condition, and brush them daily after showering
Apply a conditioner once a week to keep the hairs soft and well-nourished (starting one week after the treatment)
