Brow Lamination Before & After Care

A little preparation and the right aftercare make a real difference in how full and long lasting your brow lamination results are. Follow these instructions closely.

Before Your Appointment

Grow your brows out

Avoid trimming your brows for 8 weeks before your appointment. Enough natural length is what allows the lamination to hold and shape properly, so skipping this step can limit your results.

Skip retinol and exfoliants beforehand

 Avoid retinol, exfoliating acids, or other active skincare products on the brow area for 48 hours prior to your appointment, since these can make the skin more sensitive during treatment.

Check your medications

Brow lamination is not recommended for clients currently on strong oral medications, Accutane, or other prescription grade medications that thin or sensitize the skin. If you're unsure whether a medication you're taking applies, check with your doctor before booking.

Arrive with clean brows

Come to your appointment with the brow area free of makeup and skincare product buildup.

After Your Appointment

Keep brows completely dry for 24 hours

No water, steam, sweating, or makeup on the brows for the first 24 hours. Moisture during this window can loosen the lamination before it's fully set.

Hands off

Avoid touching, picking, or over brushing your brows while the lamination fully sets in the first day.

Skip oil based products near the brows

Oil based cleansers, moisturizers, and makeup removers can break down the lamination faster. Use oil free products around the brow area going forward.

Brush gently into place

Once the first 24 hours have passed, gently brush your brows into shape each morning with a clean spoolie to keep them looking fresh between appointments.

 Avoid heavy sweating and swimming when possible

Frequent swimming and heavy sweating are two of the biggest factors that shorten how long lamination holds, so limiting exposure where you can helps extend your results.

Repeat Appointments

Results typically last 4 to 8 weeks, with some clients holding their shape up to 12 weeks depending on natural hair growth and how closely the aftercare above is followed. Most clients rebook every 6-7 weeks to keep their brows consistently full.

What's Normal

Some clients notice a slightly stiffer or more textured feel to the brow hair in the first day or two as the lamination fully sets. This softens on its own and is not a sign anything went wrong.
