What Is Eyebrow Tweezing?
Eyebrow tweezing is the process of shaping the eyebrows by plucking hairs from unwanted places. Each unwanted brow hair is plucked out one by one until the desired shape of the brow is reached.
Benefits of Eyebrow Tweezing
Eyebrow tweezing is a tried and true method for shaping eyebrows, and it remains one of the best methods today due to the following benefits:
Reshapes brows. Professional tweezing can give you the brow shape you desire. By plucking the right hairs and encouraging growth of other hairs, your brows can be reshaped to flatter your natural facial features.
Natural appearance. Tweezing provides natural looking results that don’t appear to be overly sculpted.
Can make eyes look younger. Cleaning up the brows with tweezing can make your eyes appear brighter and more rested for a younger look.
Minimal irritation. Tweezing is a gentle method of brow shaping that minimizes irritation and inflammation.
Reduced chance of ingrown hairs. With tweezing the entire hair is plucked out of the follicle, including the root, which reduces the likelihood of ingrown hairs.
Low risk of error. With a trusted professional you don’t have to worry about mistakes, but tweezing offers the lowest risk of error.
The Tweezing Method
Professional tweezing is done through the following process:
Consultation. The first step in any of our procedures is a consultation. We will discuss your goals for your eyebrows and create a plan to achieve the desired results.
Tweezing. We will tweeze your eyebrows to remove unwanted hairs and encourage growth of hairs to achieve the shape you want that is symmetrical and flattering to your facial features.
Soothing. Even plucking can leave the skin feeling slightly irritated and looking red. We apply a soothing cream to the skin to reduce irritation and redness.

Frequently Asked Questions About Eyebrow Tweezing
Does eyebrow tweezing hurt?
Eyebrow tweezing is the gentlest way to remove unwanted brow hairs. By plucking each hair individually, you only feel a slight sting or pinch with each one. Some clients experience no discomfort whatsoever.
Is professional tweezing worth it?
Many people pluck their eyebrows at home, but professional tweezing provides professional looking results. A trained and experienced esthetician can reshape your brows to accentuate your eyes and your facial features for a natural appearance.
How long does eyebrow tweezing take?
Tweezing takes longer than waxing, because each hair is plucked out separately. You can expect professional eyebrow tweezing to take anywhere from 15-30 minutes.
Does tweezing remove all of the unwanted hairs?
With tweezing it is more difficult to remove the finest hairs, which is why the results are not quite as sculpted as with waxing. But this is one of the reasons tweezed eyebrows look more natural.
How long do results last after tweezing?
The plucked hairs may begin to grow back between 1 and 3 weeks after tweezing. This means you may need to schedule tweezing appointments more frequently than waxing appointments to maintain your results.
Can tweezing encourage thin brows to become fuller?
If your brows are already thinner than you would like, tweezing is a better option than waxing. Tweezing can carefully remove only the unwanted hairs and encourage growth of brows in the right places.
Will tweezing irritate my sensitive skin?
If you have sensitive skin or are prone to allergic reactions to facial products, tweezing is the safest option for you. Tweezing only involves plucking the hairs with tweezers. Nothing is applied to the skin (unless you request soothing cream after treatment).
