Brow Lamination vs. Microblading - which service should you recommend? 🔍

As a brow artist, helping your clients choose the right treatment for their skin type, natural hair growth, and lifestyle is key to delivering results they will love!
Here is a quick breakdown to guide your client consultation process:

✨ Brow Lamination:
Best for: Clients with natural brow hair who want a fuller, fluffier, or more symmetrical look without the commitment of semi-permanent makeup.

How it works: Cream based lotions are used to relex and manipulate the brow hairs, creating volume, fullness and an overall ‘Brow Lift’.

Longevity: 6–8 weeks.

✨ Microblading (PMU):
Best for: Clients with sparse brows, gaps, or those looking to reshape and redefine their brows semi-permanently.

How it works: A manual tool and blade is used to deposit small amounts of selected colour pigment into the upper epidermal layer of the skin.

Longevity: 12–18 months.

Pro tip: Offering both services on your salon menu allows you to cater to every client who walks through your door! 🌸
