Brow Lamination vs. Microblading: Which Should You Offer?

Brow treatments are some of the most-requested salon services. Dark, full, glamorous brows continue to be all the rage, and if your salon offers the services that make them possible, you can count on clients to book appointments for them. If you don’t offer brow treatments, the demand is likely making you consider adding them to your service list.

But that begs the question of what kind of brow treatments you should offer. Brow lamination and microblading are both popular options. That narrows down your options—but then, between brow lamination versus microblading, which should you offer? If you’re unsure, here’s a summary of the two treatments to help you decide.

What’s Microblading?

Microblading, also known as eyebrow feathering, is a treatment that involves injecting semi permanent pigment into the epidermis of the skin to create the illusion of darker, fuller, thicker brows. Essentially, it’s a semi permanent brow tattoo! Like tattoos, microblading is costly and moderately painful. But for many people, the results are worth the cost and temporary discomfort. Microblading creates realistic, full brows that last one to two years, with minimal maintenance required.

What’s Brow Lamination?

Many people compare brow lamination to a perm. During a lamination treatment, a professional cosmetologist or esthetician will apply various solutions to the brow hairs to relax and perm them. Lamination, unlike microblading, is a quick and painless treatment. It creates natural-looking, fluffy brows that last six to eight weeks, depending on how well one cares for them.

Which One Should You Offer?

So brow lamination versus microblading: Which should you offer at your salon? Both services have their benefits, so if you can offer both, we encourage you to do so! Microblading is fantastic for clients who would prefer to have one treatment and be set for the whole year. Lamination is better for clients who want a more affordable, temporary way to spruce up their brows.
