Prep & Aftercare

LAMINATION

48 hours before:

• Avoid retinol, acids, peels, harsh exfoliants, and any active skincare near the brows. Brows are more likely to over-process if the skin barrier is compromised.
• No sunbeds, sauna or steam.
• Avoid brow tinting from another salon — I’ll tint during lamination if needed.

24 hours before:

• Avoid fake tan close to the brows (can cause colour change).
• Stop using brow serums temporarily.

On the day:

• Arrive with clean brows — no makeup, oil or skincare on the brows.
• Brows must not be henna’d within the last 4 weeks.

Important:

• Brow lamination is not suitable if you have very sensitive skin, active eczema, dermatitis, broken skin, or a history of reactions to perms/keratin treatments.

First 24 hours after

• Keep brows dry – no water, steam or sweat.
• Do not apply makeup or skincare to the brow area.
• Avoid touching or brushing brows.

After 24 hours

• Brush brows into place daily.
• Apply brow conditioner or oil to keep them hydrated.
• Avoid exfoliating acids on the brows (AHA/BHA/retinol).
• Avoid excessive heat or steam — it can weaken the lamination.

Top tip:

Keep them moisturised to prevent dryness or frizzing.

DEFINED

• Avoid getting brows wet for 24 hours.
• No makeup on brows for 24 hours.
• Avoid sunbeds, steam rooms, saunas for 48 hours.
• Avoid fake tan around the brows for 24 hours.
• Do not pick or pluck hairs for a few days – let the shape settle.
• Apply brow regrowth serum if working towards fuller brows.
• Avoid harsh skincare (retinol, acids, scrubs) around brows.

To maintain shape:

Book every 4–6 weeks.
