Questions before you book
How much is brow lamination?
Brow Lamination and Tint is $75 for 60 minutes; the tint is optional and included in the price. With shaping as well, Brow Lamination, Shape and Tint is $85 for 75 minutes.
What is the difference between brow lamination, tint and shaping?
Lamination sets the direction of your brow hairs so they sit up and look fuller and fluffier; tint deepens their color so light hairs show; shaping edits the outline. On the menu: Brow Lamination and Tint $75, Brow Shape and Tint $25, Brow Tint $20 and Brow Wax $10.
How long does brow lamination last?
Brow lamination often lasts several weeks; Desiree will tell you when to rebook. Keep your brows dry for 24 to 48 hours: no makeup, sweat or steam. After that, brush your brows into place each morning; a drop of brow oil keeps laminated hairs soft.
