What Is Eyebrow Tinting?

Eyebrow tinting is the process of adding temporary color to the eyebrows to help them appear darker and bolder. Brows can be tinted one or two shades darker according to your preferences to achieve a natural look. Our tint is pregnancy safe and lasts about 4 weeks.

Benefits of Eyebrow Tinting

Eyebrow tinting offers many benefits: 

  • Emphasize brows. Tinting can emphasize your brows to make them bolder and more prominent. 

  • Accentuate eyes. Darker brows can accentuate your eyes, making them stand out and look brighter. 

  • Complement hair color. Eyebrow color can be chosen to complement your hair color for a natural look.  

  • Convenient. Eyebrow tinting can last up to 4 weeks, meaning you won’t have to apply it daily like eyebrow makeup. 

The Eyebrow Tinting Process

Eyebrow tinting is applied through the following process: 

  • Consultation. As with all of our procedures a quick consultation will take place to discuss your goals for your brows. The color for your tint is chosen to achieve the desired results. 

  • Prepping the brows. The eyebrows will be cleaned to remove excess oils before the tint is applied so that the brows can thoroughly absorb the color. 

  • Protecting the skin. A thin layer of petroleum jelly will be applied to the skin around the brows to prevent the tint from dying the skin. 

  • Applying the tint. The tint is applied to the brows and allowed to absorb for the ideal amount of time to achieve the desired shade. 

  • Finishing touches. The excess tint will be removed from the brows. If any tinting of the skin occurs, it will fade in 24-48 hours in most cases.

Frequently Asked Questions About Eyebrow Tinting

Does eyebrow tinting look natural? 

Eyebrow tinting only darkens the brows a shade or two, depending on your preferences. This provides bolder brows that enhance the eyes, yet still look natural.

Should my eyebrows match my hair exactly? 

Your hair and eyebrows are not normally the exact same color, but may be similar. When it comes to tinting, the color should complement your hair color, but not match it exactly. We can help you choose the right tint for your hair color that will achieve a natural look.

Should eyebrows ever be darker than your hair? 

For blonde and light colored hair, it is common for the eyebrows to be darker. The key is to tint them the right shade that helps them stand out without being so dark that they look unnatural.

Is it harder to tint eyebrows for redheads? 

We have a variety of dyes and are able to find the perfect shade for any hair color.

How often will I need to get my eyebrows tinted? 

Tinting lasts about 3-4 weeks, so you may need to schedule your appointments monthly or slightly closer together. It can help to wait and see how long your eyebrows hold the tint to determine the best schedule. 

How long does eyebrow tinting take? 

On average the procedure takes 15-20 minutes. When combined with eyebrow shaping, the entire duration of your appointment will take 30 minutes whether you are getting them waxed or tweezed.
