Brow Tinting Techniques for Enhanced Brow Lamination Results
Posted by Troy Barker on
A common reason clients seek lamination services is because they want fuller, thicker brows. But after the lamination process, certain areas of the brow may still appear sparse or lacking in color.
There’s an easy solution for this: tinting. By using Elleeplex Profusion after lamination, you can give your clients the full, fluffy brows they want, and you can upsell the tinting service for an extra charge.
However, it’s important to note that completing back-to-back services without proper technique can result in over-processing, patchy color, or uneven results. Here are some brow tinting techniques you can use to ensure enhanced brow lamination results for your clients.
Prepping the Brows
First off, clean those brows! After the lamination service, there may be residue or excess product left on the brows. Use a gentle cleanser, like Elleebana Make Up Remover, to remove any leftover product. Then, comb through the brows to get rid of any tangles or clumps; this will ensure an even application of tint.
To prevent staining the skin around the brows, you may also want to apply Ellee Shield Skin Protection Balm around the brow area. This will act as a protective barrier and make it easier to clean up excess tint later.
Choosing the Right Tint
When selecting a tint color for your client’s brows, consider their natural hair color and desired end result. You can choose a pre-made tint or custom mix your own to get the perfect shade. Keep in mind that brow tints tend to appear darker on the skin than on hair, so it’s better to go a shade lighter than what you think is necessary.
Applying the Tint
Application instructions can vary depending on the tint brand you’re using. Many professionals pair Belmacil tints with Elleeplex Profusion—if this is the combination you’re using, follow these steps for application:
- Shake the oxydant bottle well.
- Mix 3mm of Belmacil tint with two drops of oxydant until you have a smooth paste.
- Apply the tint with an angled brush in the direction of hair growth.
- Allow the tint to process for about 10 minutes, adjusting for color and hair type.
- Remove the tint with a damp cotton pad or sponge.
- Wipe off the Ellee Shield Skin Protection Balm, if used.
- Brush the brows with a spoolie brush.
After you complete these steps, your client will have beautifully tinted, enhanced brows.
Explaining Aftercare and Maintenance
For long-lasting results, advise your client on proper aftercare and maintenance. They should avoid wetting their brows, using harsh products, or rubbing the brow area for at least 24 hours after tinting.
It’s also a good idea to recommend a touch-up every 4–6 weeks, depending on how quickly your client’s hair grows and their desired level of maintenance. This will keep their brow color looking fresh and vibrant.
By following these brow tinting techniques for enhanced brow lamination results, you can ensure your clients leave with beautiful brows that last. Plus, by offering an additional service like tinting, you can add value to your lamination services and increase revenue for your business.
