Brow Waxing vs. Brow Threading
We’re often asked how waxing compares to eyebrow threading. Brow waxing is quicker, gentler on the skin with the right products, and ideal for precision mapping. Unlike threading, which can sometimes remove too much bulk or feel harsh, our technique keeps things soft and natural.

Pair With Tint or Lamination for Defined Brows
Want more definition? Brow tinting adds color to lighter or sparser brow hairs, while lamination helps hairs lie neatly in place. Combine tint or lamination with waxing for fuller, more symmetrical brows that stay in place for weeks. See more here.

Why our clients love our brow waxing experience
what to expect
We start by talking through your brow goals—what you love, what you don’t, and what you’re hoping to achieve. Whether you want structure, softness, balance, or just a cleaner shape, no two brows (or clients!) are the same, so this step ensures we’re fully aligned before any hair is removed.

SKETCH
WAX + REFINE
Before we wax, we sketch a custom brow map using your natural bone structure, hair growth pattern, and facial symmetry. This outline shows exactly where we’ll clean up or define—so there are no surprises, only confidence in the plan.

Once you approve the shape, we gently wax and tweeze with precision. The goal is to create clean lines while keeping your brows soft, full, and flattering. We’ll finish with soothing post-wax care, and if needed, suggest tinting or growth tips to support your long-term brow goals.

Your commonly asked questions
your commonly asked questions
Will it hurt or irritate my skin?
How long do brow waxing results last?
Most clients return every 3–6 weeks. With regular upkeep, hair regrows finer and more evenly.
Our wax is gentle and low-temperature, designed to be kind to delicate skin. To avoid irritation, we recommend pausing strong skincare ingredients like retinoids, benzoyl peroxide, or exfoliants at least 3–5 days before your appointment. It’s also best to avoid excessive sun exposure or tanning beforehand to protect your skin barrier.
Can you shape my brows without making them thin?
Absolutely. We specialize in clean, soft finishes—not over-waxing. The goal is to enhance your natural shape, not change it entirely. Pairing an eyebrow wax with eyebrow lamination can really help maxmize your brow thickness.
What if I’ve been overplucked in the past?
Yes, we can help rebuild. We’ll map based on your current growth pattern and long-term goals—waxing only where it supports fuller, more symmetrical brows over time. We may also recommend a combination approach—like tinting for added depth, lamination for a more lifted brow, or even powder brows for a more defined, long-term result.
