The sets · $85 & $35

Two things, and they are not the same.

Lamination changes direction. Tint changes colour. Almost everybody who books one actually wanted the other, and about a third of people want neither once somebody explains what they do.

Wisp / Brows
01
Lamination

A chemical relaxer that softens the bond in each brow hair so it can be set in a new direction, then a neutraliser to hold it. Forty-five minutes, lasts six to eight weeks, and it is the answer for brows that grow downward or in two directions at once.

02
Tint

Semi-permanent dye on the hair, not the skin. Fifteen minutes, lasts three to four weeks, and it is the answer for brows that are there but invisible: fair, grey, or bleached by summer.

15 min
$35
03
Both

Lamination first, tint immediately after while the cuticle is still open, which is why it takes better and lasts a little longer than a tint alone.

$110
04
Shaping

Included with either, with tweezers only. No wax and no thread here, because both remove more than you meant on a brow that has just been chemically processed.

Included
05
Patch test

Required for tint, forty-eight hours before, every first time. Ten minutes, no charge, and it is not optional however inconvenient.

What lamination cannot do

Make a sparse brow look full. It changes where existing hairs point, which creates the illusion of density by lifting them off the skin and combing them upward, and on a brow with real gaps it will make the gaps more visible rather than less.

People book lamination expecting the Instagram brow, which is a laminated brow on somebody who already had a lot of hair. If you do not, the honest answer is a brow pencil or a consultation with somebody who does microblading, and Iris will say so before you pay.

The overprocessing risk

Lamination is a chemical relaxer and it is possible to leave it on too long. Overprocessed brow hair goes frizzy, dry and straw-like, and it does not recover: it grows out, over six to eight weeks.

Which is why the timings here are conservative, why fine or previously-bleached brows get a shorter first process, and why we will not laminate more often than every eight weeks even if the effect has dropped off at six. Nobody has ever been glad they pushed it.

Aftercare, which is short

Dry for twenty-four hours: no water, no steam, no sweat, no cleanser on the brow. That is genuinely the whole list and it is the one thing that ruins a lamination.

After that, a brow oil or a plain castor oil at night. Laminated hair is chemically processed hair and it appreciates the same thing coloured hair does.

Asked often.

What is the difference between brow lamination and tint?

Lamination changes the direction the hairs point, using a relaxer and a neutraliser. Tint changes their colour with a semi-permanent dye. They solve completely different problems and most people book the wrong one.

How long does brow lamination last?

Six to eight weeks, and we will not repeat it sooner than eight even if the effect has dropped at six. Overprocessed brow hair does not recover, it grows out.

Will brow lamination make my sparse brows look fuller?

No, and often the opposite. It lifts existing hairs off the skin, which makes real gaps more visible. Sparse brows want a pencil or microblading, and we will say so before you pay.

Do brow tints need a patch test?

Yes, forty-eight hours before, every first time. Ten minutes and free, and it is not optional however inconvenient the timing is.

What is the aftercare for brow lamination?

Completely dry for twenty-four hours: no water, steam, sweat or cleanser. That single instruction is the whole list and it is the one thing that ruins the result.

Eighty-five, forty-five minutes.

Or a hundred and ten with the tint. Patch test forty-eight hours before if it is your first.
