Want flawless brows with minimal effort? Brow lamination is a quick, pain-free treatment that shapes and sets your natural brows for up to 8 weeks. Here’s what you need to know before your first appointment:
- What it is: A two-step chemical process that softens and reshapes brow hairs for a polished or fluffy look, without adding pigment.
- When to book: At least 48 hours before an event to allow your brows to settle.
- Pre-treatment prep: Avoid tweezing, waxing, retinol, and exfoliants in the week leading up to your appointment. Keep brows clean and free of makeup on the day.
- Aftercare: Keep brows dry for 24–48 hours, avoid sweating, and use a spoolie and conditioning serum daily to maintain results.
Quick Tip: Pair lamination with tinting for a complete brow transformation. Ready to book? Check out packages starting at $85.
Before Your Appointment
When to Book
Schedule your brow lamination at least 48 hours before any special event. This gives your brows time to settle and ensures you can follow the necessary aftercare steps [1].
Pre-Treatment Skincare
For the best results, adjust your skincare routine in the days leading up to your appointment. Use the table below as a guide to what to avoid:
| Timeframe | Products/Activities to Avoid |
|---|---|
| 1 week before | • Tweezing, waxing, or threading • Spray tans • Microdermabrasion |
| 3-5 days before | • Retinol products • AHA/BHA treatments • Chemical peels |
| 48 hours before | • Physical exfoliants • Strong active ingredients |
On the day of your appointment, take a few extra steps to prepare your brows [1].
Brow and Skin Preparation
Make sure your brows are clean and free of any products like moisturisers, oils, sunscreen, makeup, or heavy creams.
If your skin is sensitive or prone to redness, avoid treatments that could irritate the brow area within 24 hours of your appointment [2].
Additionally, if your skin is sunburnt or overly tanned around the brows, it may increase sensitivity and impact the results. If you’ve had recent sun exposure, it might be best to delay your appointment until your skin has fully recovered [2].
The Treatment Process
Meeting Your Brow Specialist
Your brow lamination journey begins with a consultation. During this session, your specialist will evaluate your brow shape, hair density, and growth patterns to tailor the treatment to your needs [5]. This is your chance to share your preferences – whether you’re after sleek, polished brows or the trendy fluffy look [1].
Be sure to mention any skin sensitivities, allergies, recent treatments, or concerns about the procedure. To ensure safety, your specialist will perform a patch test at least 24 hours before your appointment to rule out any adverse reactions [5].
Once the consultation is complete, the treatment follows a series of specific steps.
Treatment Steps
| Treatment Phase | What Happens | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Cleansing | Brows are cleaned to remove products or oils | 5 minutes |
| Perming Solution | A solution is applied to soften brow hairs | 10–15 minutes |
| Shaping | Brows are brushed and set in the desired shape | 10 minutes |
| Neutralising | A setting solution locks in the new position | 10–15 minutes |
| Nourishing | A conditioning treatment is applied | 5–10 minutes |
“Brow lamination does not fix the brow hairs in a specific position but makes them softer and easier to shape. Clients will still require a brow gel to set hairs into the desired position each morning.” – Ruthie Belle [3]
Your specialist will ensure the brow hairs remain within 45° of their natural direction to avoid any unwanted kinking [3]. Many salons also provide optional extras, such as tinting and detailed shaping, to enhance the final outcome [4]. Once the procedure is complete, the specialist will clean up the brow area and guide you through the aftercare routine, helping you maintain your freshly laminated brows [5].
Post-Treatment Care
Immediate Aftercare
During the first 24–48 hours, your brows are setting, so it’s important to keep them completely dry to preserve their shape.
Avoid the following during this time:
- Washing your face directly over the brow area
- Heavy sweating or intense exercise
- Swimming in pools
- Using steam rooms or saunas
Refrain from touching or rubbing your brows to maintain their fresh look. If you usually sleep face-down, try adjusting your sleeping position to prevent disrupting your brows.
| Time Period | Activities to Avoid | Why It’s Important |
|---|---|---|
| First 24 hours | Water contact, exercise, makeup | Ensures proper setting |
| First 48 hours | Sunbeds, saunas, swimming | Prevents shape disruption |
| First 3 days | Exfoliants, retinol, tanning products | Protects sensitive skin |
Once this initial period is over, you can move on to daily care to maintain your brow lamination results.
Daily Care Tips
Brow lamination results generally last for about 6–8 weeks. To keep your brows looking their best:
- Cleanse your brows every morning with a gentle, oil-free cleanser, following the direction of hair growth to remove any buildup.
- Use a clean spoolie brush daily to style your brows upward and outward.
- Apply a conditioning serum or brow oil twice a day to keep the hairs hydrated.
- Avoid harsh skincare products near your brows, especially those with exfoliants or retinol.
If you have oily skin, make sure to cleanse thoroughly to help prolong the results of your brow lamination.

FAQs
What should I know about brow lamination if I have sensitive skin?
If you have sensitive skin, it’s important to take a few extra steps before your brow lamination appointment to ensure a safe and comfortable experience. Let your technician know about your skin sensitivity ahead of time so they can tailor the treatment to your needs. A patch test 24–48 hours before your appointment is highly recommended to check for any potential allergic reactions.
During the procedure, your technician may use gentler techniques, such as tweezing instead of waxing, and opt for mild or natural products to minimise irritation. After the treatment, avoid harsh skincare products and stick to gentle, hypoallergenic cleansers. Applying soothing products like aloe vera gel or a cold compress can help calm the skin if needed. Always check the ingredients in your skincare to avoid those with fragrances, alcohol, or harsh chemicals.
What makes brow lamination different from treatments like microblading or tinting?
Brow lamination is a non-invasive treatment that smooths and sets your natural brow hairs into a lifted, uniform shape, creating a fuller and more defined look. It’s ideal for taming unruly brows or enhancing natural thickness and typically lasts 6–8 weeks.
In contrast, microblading is a semi-permanent tattooing technique where fine, hair-like strokes are added to fill in sparse areas. It lasts longer, usually 1–2 years, and is great for those seeking a more dramatic transformation. Meanwhile, tinting involves applying dye to the brow hairs to enhance their colour, but it doesn’t change their shape or texture like lamination does.
Each treatment serves a unique purpose, so your choice will depend on your desired results and maintenance preferences.
What happens during a brow lamination appointment?
During your brow lamination appointment, the process typically takes about an hour and involves a few simple steps to achieve your ideal brow look.
First, your brow stylist will discuss your desired outcome and examine your natural brow shape. The area is then cleansed to remove any makeup or oils, ensuring a clean base for the treatment. A lifting solution is applied to soften the brow hairs, allowing them to be gently reshaped into your preferred style. Once the brows are set in place, a neutralising solution is used to lock in the new shape, followed by a nourishing serum to keep the hairs healthy and hydrated.
If desired, additional services like tinting or shaping may be included to add more definition and enhance your final look. The result is smooth, polished brows that can last for several weeks with proper aftercare.
