I’m a fan of full, feathery brows and couldn’t wait to try a brow lamination! What exactly is a brow lamination? Think of it like a perm for your eyebrows to achieve full, feathery brows. The brow hairs are set upwards, instead of down. This new technique is picking up popularity– I first discovered it last year and was tempted to try an at-home lamination kit but opted to have it done by a professional. Once brow salons opened back up, I booked an appointment at My Perfect Brows. They have locations throughout Southern California and in Dallas.

I was never into the thin-lined brow scene so my brows are naturally on the thick side. I typically use a pencil to fill-in any sparse areas and to slightly darken my brows, followed by brow gel to hold in place.
The above ‘before’ photo was taken when my brows were way overdue for some styling! Brow lamination works best for those with thicker brows, especially if you’re sick of grooming them daily. No more brow gel needed!
Brow Lamination Process
The entire lamination process is fairly simple and takes under an hour. Prior to laminating my brows, my brow artist threaded and shaped my brows.
For the brow lamination, the first step is to apply a cream that lifts and relaxes the brow hair. It totally brought me back to my middle-school perm treatment!
The brow artist then brushed my brow hairs upwards into a vertical direction and applied a neutralizer to seal brows in place. She placed a piece of plastic wrap over my brows to hold them in place and keep any chemicals from getting into my eyes.
Brow Tint
I opted to have my brows tinted at the same time as well. I like a slightly darker brow and the tint came out perfect. At just $20 additional, it was well worth it!
For the tint, my brow artist first applied a barrier cream around my brows to prevent any stains to my skin. Next, she applied the tint to my entire brow area in a thick application. She left it on about 8 minutes since I wanted my brows a bit darker.
The Results
…and here’s the final results! After removing the tint, my brow artist groomed and styled my brows. My brows are full and feathery and tinted slightly darker than my natural brow color. I love how natural they look! The entire process took less than an hour.
After the process I had to keep my brows dry for at least 24 hours. The tint and lamination typically last 4-6 weeks but can sometimes last up to 8 weeks. I was advised not to use any harsh makeup removers, scrubs or wiping on my brows so the tint and lamination will last longer. It’s recommended to apply a nourishing oil so brows do not dry out.
I paid $75 for both the lamination and the tint, however some brow lamination treatments may run up to $140+. It’s not in my budget to keep up every 6 weeks or so, however I would definitely do this for special occasions.
Overall I am happy with the results! My brows look full and I love that I don’t need to add product to them. Just a quick comb up and they are good to go! Would you try a brow lamination?

I’ve heard a lot about this particular process in passing, but never seen the results or read about the entire journey from start to finish, so thank you for sharing this! I think it’s a much more affordable and simpler alternative to microblading (though I’d truthfully love to try that as well). Your brows look great!
Thank you! I would recommend microblading if you have thin or super sparse eyebrows and need to fill in. The lamination is great if you have brow hair but looking for a thicker brow. If you try it out, let me know what you think!
I’ve heard of brow lamination but had no idea what it entailed. May def consider trying it at some point! xoxo, Sarah
Wow they look so good!! It looks very natural in color and texture, which I love.

My friend does microblading and was telling me about this as an easier alternative and I was a bit skeptical. But, they look so good and I cannot believe how much fuller they look!
It’s definitely worth trying out– won’t break the bank either!
I’ve been dying to try this — it looks so good on you!
Do it! So happy with how they came out!
Ohhhh this is so interesting! I have not heard of this but I would be interested to learn more!
Everyone is raving about this process! I find it so interesting. Your brows look amazing!
Lately I’ve been thinking about doing something so this was so helpful. your brows look great.
I really need to do something about my brows. They’re blonde like my hair, and I definitely need to dye them!
A slightly darker tint would be perfect!
They look great! I have been wanting to try a brow lamination for awhile!!! I am definitely going to make an appointment soon! I’m so into the fuller looking brows!
Xo, Steph
I definitely recommend trying it out and seeing how you like it!
Your brows look gorgeous!!
So glad fuller brows are in but sometimes the lamination can be too much.. yours turned out great though! Still very natural!
Wow that looks amazing! I really wanna go to a brow bar once everything opens up again. Miss it even more that my hairdresser haha 🙂
have a great day,
