Aftercare 101
Beautiful Brows Don’t Stop at the Appointment.
Your brows have been professionally shaped and treated to complement your features, preferences and lifestyle. Proper aftercare helps protect the surrounding skin, condition your brow hairs and keep your results looking their best between appointments.
Because your service may include brow lamination, tinting, mapping, shaping and waxing, your exact aftercare depends on what was performed.
Always follow any personalized instructions provided by your brow artist.

Day one
Your brows are freshly treated and the surrounding skin may be temporarily more sensitive.
These effects should gradually settle.
For the rest of today:
The first two days
For approximately the first 24 hours, or according to the specific lamination system used during your service:
After this initial setting period, your brows can return to normal daily cleansing and styling.
For the first 24 hours:
Your tint may look slightly darker immediately after your appointment and soften over the following days.
For approximately 24–48 hours, avoid:
Whenever possible, avoid applying makeup directly over freshly waxed skin until the redness and sensitivity have settled.
The first week
Your surrounding skin should gradually return to its normal routine while your brow hairs settle into their finished result.
Once the waxed skin is completely calm—with no redness, tenderness, burning, peeling or sensitivity—you can gradually return to your regular skincare routine around the brows.
Be cautious with:
Do not apply these directly to irritated or recently compromised skin.
After the initial settling period, hydration and conditioning become an important part of maintaining laminated brows.
Use your recommended brow-conditioning product as directed to help keep the hairs soft and manageable.
Gently brush the brows into your preferred position with a clean spoolie.
Avoid aggressively brushing, pulling or repeatedly manipulating the hairs.
Tint naturally fades over time.
To help maintain your color:
No need to worry
Depending on the services performed, it can be normal to experience:
Your brows should remain comfortable and your surrounding skin should progressively calm following treatment.

Long-term care
Laminated brow hairs have undergone a chemical process and benefit from consistent conditioning.
Use your recommended brow-conditioning treatment as directed to help maintain soft, manageable-looking hairs.
Once the initial setting period has passed, use a clean spoolie to gently brush your brows into your desired shape each day.
One of the benefits of lamination is flexibility—you can style your brows fluffier, softer or more polished depending on the look you want.
Be mindful when applying strong exfoliants and retinoids around your brows, especially before and after waxing appointments.
Brow lamination should not be performed too frequently.
Allow your brow hairs adequate time between chemical services and follow the schedule recommended by your brow artist.
Avoid excessive tweezing between appointments.
If you see an obvious stray hair outside your established brow shape, occasional tweezing may be appropriate, but leave major reshaping to your brow artist.
This helps us maintain the symmetry and shape created during your professional mapping.
Home care
Your home-care routine can make a noticeable difference in how your brows look and feel between appointments.

Your next visit
Different parts of your brow service have different maintenance timelines.
A brow lamination typically lasts approximately 6–8 weeks, depending on your natural hair growth cycle, home care and individual brow hairs.
For the health of your brow hairs, we generally recommend waiting approximately 6–8 weeks before repeating your lamination, or longer if your brow artist determines your hairs need additional time.
Tint results typically fade sooner than lamination and can be refreshed during an appropriate maintenance appointment.
Your shape may benefit from maintenance approximately every 3–4 weeks, depending on how quickly your brow hair grows and how polished you prefer your brows to remain.
Your brow artist can create a schedule that keeps your brows maintained without unnecessarily over-processing the hair.
