Brow lamination in Ballarat.

Lamination works on the brow hair rather than the skin. A softening solution is applied so the hair becomes pliable, the hairs are brushed into the direction that suits your brow shape, and a setting solution holds them there.

Nothing is added and nothing is stuck on. It is your own hair, simply persuaded to sit where it flatters you, which is why a laminated brow still looks like your brow.

We start by looking at your brows properly: how they grow, where the gaps fall, and what you would like them to do that they currently refuse to.

The lamination solutions are applied in stages with the brows brushed through between each one. It is quiet and still, and you keep your eyes closed for most of it. Colour goes on next, then the shaping.

Shaping comes last on purpose. Once the hairs are set upward you can see the true shape, so there is far less guesswork and generally less hair removed than you might expect.

Lamination is finished with one of two colour options, and the difference is worth understanding before you book.

Suitability depends on the amount, condition and growth direction of the natural brow hair. Lamination may work well where the hairs grow downward or in several directions, but it is not the right option for every brow.

It is a good option if you are tired of brow pencil, or if you want your brows sorted before a wedding, a holiday or a stretch of time when you would rather not think about them.

If your brows are very sparse, a shape with hybrid stain may give a fuller-looking result than lamination. We will tell you if that is the case.
