First brow mapping
We measure your brows against your features, draw the shape in pencil, then shape and tint once you approve it in the mirror.
45 minutesfrom $55
Brows shaped to your face, not to a trend
Mapping, shaping, tinting and lamination by brow artists who measure before they remove a single hair. New clients start with a brow mapping, and every first tint follows a patch test.

Brow treatments
Each price includes a short consultation at the start of the visit. Times cover the whole appointment, including the aftercare talk at the end.
Brow shaping
Wax, thread or tweezers, chosen to suit your skin, to keep the mapped shape crisp between visits.
25 minutesfrom $28
Brow tint
A tint blended for your hair and skin tone, after a patch test, so sparse or fair brows look fuller for several weeks.
20 minutesfrom $22
Brow lamination
Hairs are set to sit up and across, which tames brows that grow downwards or in different directions, finished with a conditioning treatment.
50 minutesfrom $65
Lamination, shape and tint
Our full treatment in one visit: lamination, a tint and a tidy shape, for brows that look groomed for weeks.
70 minutesfrom $85
Brow tidy
A quick maintenance shape for returning clients, clearing strays from the mapped line between full appointments.
15 minutesfrom $18
A patch test is part of every tint and lamination booking. It takes five minutes and must be done at least 48 hours before the treatment.
Why every new client starts with mapping
Brow mapping uses a fine pigmented string to mark three points on each brow: where it should begin, where the arch should peak and where the tail should finish. The marks follow your bone structure and the spacing of your eyes, so the shape belongs to your face rather than to a photo.
You see the mapped shape in the mirror before any hair comes away. If you would like it softer, straighter or a little fuller, we redraw it, and only then do we start shaping.
- Shape agreed in the mirror before we begin
- Your measurements kept on file for the next visit
- Honest advice when brows need time to grow back
A first tint, step by step
First visits take a little longer, because we test and measure before any colour goes on.
Patch test
A dab of tint behind the ear or inside the elbow at least 48 hours ahead, to see how your skin reacts.
Consultation
We talk through your skin, the products you use and what you would like your brows to do.
Mapping and shaping
The shape is mapped, approved by you in the mirror, then cleaned up with wax, thread or tweezers.
Tint and aftercare
The tint is applied, timed and removed, and we explain how to look after your brows for the next two days.
How long results last
Brows grow at different speeds, so these are typical ranges rather than promises. Your artist suggests when to rebook at the end of each visit.
| Treatment | Lasts about | For the first 24 hours |
|---|---|---|
| Shaping by wax or thread | 3 to 5 weeks | Skip saunas, hot showers on the face and exfoliating acids around the brows |
| Brow tint | 3 to 6 weeks | Avoid oil based cleansers and rubbing the brows with a towel |
| Lamination | 6 to 8 weeks | Keep brows dry and away from steam, then brush them into place each morning |
| Lamination with tint | 6 to 8 weeks | Keep brows dry, skip brow makeup and sleep on your back if you can |
| Brow tidy | 2 to 3 weeks | Nothing special beyond avoiding heat on the area |
Some skin care and medicines, such as retinoids and certain acne treatments, can make skin more sensitive. Tell us what you use when you book, and we will let you know if a treatment should wait.

Brows from the studio
Mapped, shaped, tinted and laminated, on clients of every age and hair colour.
What clients notice (example reviews)
Twenty minutes of mapping before a single hair came off, and now both brows finally match. The shape suits the face rather than whatever is fashionable.
Brows that always grew downwards now sit up neatly six weeks after lamination. The aftercare card answered every question before it was asked.
Grey brows used to vanish in photos. The graphite tint brought them back softly, and the patch test beforehand was reassuring for sensitive skin.
Questions about brow treatments
Why is a patch test needed before a tint?
Tint and lamination solutions can cause an allergic reaction, sometimes in people who have used them for years without trouble. Following the product makers' instructions, we test a small patch of skin at least 48 hours before a first treatment, and again if six months have passed or your health or medicines have changed. Patch test rules and guidance vary by country, and we follow those that apply where the studio works.
What happens if the skin reacts to the patch test?
We will not tint or laminate. Redness, itching or swelling at the test spot mean those products are not right for you, though shaping may still be possible. If a reaction is severe, such as swelling of the face or difficulty breathing, call your local emergency number straight away.
How should brows be prepared before a first visit?
Let them grow for at least two weeks so we have hairs to work with, and skip self tan and exfoliating products on the brow area for two days. Come without brow makeup if you can.
Can lamination damage brows?
Spaced six to eight weeks apart and done with care, lamination rarely troubles healthy brows. We check the condition of the hairs at each visit and suggest a break if they look dry or brittle.
Can treatments go ahead during pregnancy?
Tell us if you are pregnant or breastfeeding when you book. Shaping usually goes ahead, while for tinting and lamination we follow the product makers' guidance and may suggest waiting. Your doctor or midwife is the right person to ask about your own situation.
What is the cancellation policy?
Please give 24 hours notice to move or cancel. Late cancellations and missed appointments are charged at half the treatment price, paid in the studio at your next visit.
