Here’s what you can expect when you come to The Lash Lounge for eyebrow lamination!
Step 1: First Appointment and Consultation
- When you meet your stylist, the two of you will discuss your brow goals and the look you have in mind.
- During this time your stylist will assess your natural brows and facial features.
- After that, the two of you will chat about the direction that will work best for your natural brow hairs and select the perfect look.

Step 4: Optional Brow Tint
During your consultation, if you and your stylist decided on added color, your stylist will apply a brow tint at this stage for extra definition.

- Touch or rub your eyebrows
- Apply makeup, skincare or self-tanner on or around the brows and brow area
- Get your brows wet (showering, swimming, sweating)
- Lie face down while sleeping
Aftercare for your laminated brows:
After 24 hours, let the EASY aftercare routine begin!
- Cleanse your brows daily with an oil-free cleanser like our Lash Detox Foaming Cleanser (works for brows, too!)

Is Brow Lamination Safe?
Eyebrow lamination is considered safe when you choose a trained professional who works in a clean environment and uses quality products during the service. Like any beauty service performed on or near the skin, there are potential risks for sensitivities.
At The Lash Lounge, we can perform a patch test prior to beginning the service to determine if a reaction is likely. Discuss this and any concerns you have with your stylist before the eyebrow lamination service begins.
