What is the difference between brow threading and waxing?

​

Waxing and threading both have the aim of removing the unwanted hair from the follicle, providing up to four weeks' worth of well-shaped brows depending on how fast an individual’s hair grows.


Waxing is suited for clients that find threading uncomfortable. Waxing is quick and instant. However, it is not suitable for anyone with extremely sensitive skin, undergoing chemical peels, or using Retinol skin care products. With the wax, your brow artist might use a tweezer to complete the brow shape.

Threading is suitable for those with sensitive skin as this technique is gentler. No chemicals or heat are used so you are less likely to have an adverse reaction. Threading is a more precise technique than waxing when it comes to brow shaping. However, with threading, you might feel that the process is a bit uncomfortable since it is an ongoing process.


Choosing between the two is really about personal preference as both provide fantastic results. Although I would say that threading is currently the most requested method by my clients.

​

How do I prepare my skin before threading/waxing?

​

I would recommend;

​

• Staying out of direct sunlight before and after your waxing or threading

• If opting for wax avoid using products that contain AHA’s

• Always book your Brow treatment before your Spray Tan appointment

• Applying a cooling pack to calm down the skin.

• Avoid applying make-up to the area directly afterward as the follicles are open which can lead to pimples.

​

Men’s brow styling?

​

Embrace your thick brows!
All you need is a bit of tidy up, trimming, and perhaps a tiny amount of styling.
Male eyebrows can be thick and still looked groomed, because men, in general, have large brows. The amount of thickness they end up with is there for a reason; it balances other facial features. We use a thread or wax to remove unwanted hairs between the brows. According to the eyebrows' natural shape and the face structure, we then style them in a way that they are full and more straight as seen in George Clooney than arched to avoid that feminine look. :)

What is henna brows?

​

Henna brows are a form of eyebrow tinting that is used to stain the skin beneath the brow hairs while tinting the brow hairs. The purpose of this is to cast a shadow or create an illusion of depth and fullness in the area, visually filling in any sparseness. Henna is a natural dye made from a plant known as Hina. Henna has been around since ancient Egyptian times when it was used for many purposes such as dyeing hair, clothes, fabrics, and makeup.

 

What does the henna brows process involve?

​

The process for henna brows is very similar to normal brow tinting and the shades have been formulated to cater to eyebrow tones.
We follow the natural shape of the client's eyebrows and outline the shape with our Golden Ratio measuring method. Then henna is applied and left on the brows between 15-20 min depending on the skin type and desired color by our clients. To give the very subtle and natural look we leave the henna for less time on the front of the eyebrows to achieve an Ombré look. (Lighter color from the front and darker from the middle to the end of the eyebrows). We offer different shades in Henna color range from Blonde and light Brown to Bold and Dark Brown for darker skin tone.

​

How long normal tint lasts comparing to henna tint?

​

It highly depends on the skin type (oily/dry), Skincare, and your lifestyle.
Normal tint lasts about 2-3 days on the skin and up to 2-3 weeks on the hairs vs Henna last up to a week on the skin and up to 4 weeks on the hairs. Henna lasts longer than normal tint and gives a more defined look to the brows comparing normal tint. If you chose a darker color in Normal Tint or Henna you will have the longer-lasting result comparing to the lighter shades which fade quicker.
