A low-commitment way to refine your natural brows. Shaping tidies and balances the brow line, while tinting temporarily adds colour and definition to the hairs you already have.
Eyebrow shaping and tinting is a grooming treatment rather than a semi-permanent cosmetic tattoo. We refine the natural brow outline and, when tinting is chosen, temporarily deepen the appearance of the existing hairs.
Remove unwanted hairs and refine the natural brow outline.
Small adjustments can improve balance while respecting natural differences.
Tint can make lighter and finer natural brow hairs easier to see.
The result is temporary and suited to regular brow maintenance.
Your existing growth pattern, thickness and facial proportions guide the shape. The aim is not to force two perfectly identical brows, but to make the natural brows look cleaner and more balanced.
We assess where the brow naturally starts, arches and finishes.
Only the hairs needed to tidy and balance the outline should be removed.
Tell us if you are growing out an area or prefer a fuller, softer brow.
Tinting adds colour to the brow hairs that are already present. It can make lighter or finer hairs more noticeable and give the overall brow greater definition. It does not create new hairs or implant pigment into sparse skin.
The appointment varies according to whether you choose shaping, tinting or both. Your brows and preferred finish are reviewed before treatment begins.
Tell us how you normally wear your brows and how defined you want them.
Your natural growth, brow thickness and overall balance are considered.
The outline is refined and, when selected, tint is applied to the natural hairs.
The finished brows are checked and simple maintenance advice is discussed.
Eyebrow shaping and tinting does not involve semi-permanent pigment being placed into the skin. The aftercare is therefore much simpler. Some temporary pinkness or mild sensitivity can occur after hair removal.
The skin around freshly shaped areas may look temporarily pink or feel mildly sensitive.
Natural hairs continue to grow and tint gradually fades, so repeat timing varies between clients.
They solve different problems. One works with your natural brow hairs; the other creates the appearance of additional hair-like strokes using semi-permanent pigment.
Best suited when you already have natural brow hairs to work with and want grooming, balance and temporary colour.
Microblading is a different treatment with its own suitability, pigment process, healing period and aftercare.
