Eyebrow Threading FAQs
-
How Long Does Threading Last?
Eyebrow threading usually lasts 2–4 weeks, though this varies based on hair growth and your preferred brow shape. Faster growth may require touch-ups sooner, while thinner or less defined brows can often last longer between threading appointments.
-
How often should I come back?
On average, threading lasts about 3 weeks. Many clients return every 2–3 weeks, while others prefer monthly visits. There’s no right or wrong—come when your brows feel unmanageable. I don’t recommend tweezing, as removing the wrong hairs can affect how well I shape them.
-
Does Threading Hurt?
It really depends on your pain tolerance. Usually people will tear up, but not always from pain. Some first-timers never cry, while other long-time clients still do every time. But fret not! I always give breaks in between and have often been told I have a gentle touch.
-
Is eyebrow threading safe for all skin types?
Bumps can occur if you have sensitive skin or poor skin hygiene. After threading, your pores are open, making it easier for bacteria to enter. To prevent this, wash your face with cold water and soap before and after your session, and apply ice afterward if needed.
-
What is the preparation and aftercare for threading?
Don’t wear contacts! Exfoliate 1–3 days before your service to help remove tiny or buried hairs. After threading, wash your face to protect open pores. Gently exfoliate brows weekly with a soft toothbrush and face wash to reduce ingrowns.
-
How to get thicker eyebrows? Is it possible?
Sometimes brows grow back, sometimes they don’t. If you come to me, I can guide you on your growth journey, leaving hairs slowly over 6-24 months. For thinner eyebrows, try a brow dye, lamination, natural remedies like castor oil, or my growth oil blend which you can try after your service!
Eyelash Lift FAQs
-
How Long Does A Lash Lift Last?
The last lift lasts 6-8 weeks with good maintenance, and sometimes even longer. It's important to wait a full 8 weeks before your next lash lift. You want to allow them to breathe and grow a full lash cycle in between lifts. It is definitely worth your time and money in comparison to eyelash extensions, that fall out within the first two weeks. There are many things that can reduce its effect like oil, lash serums, and more. The most important time is the first two days after the lift.
-
Who cannot get a lash lift?
99% of people can get a lash lift and I always recommend this service because it’s not about the length of your lashes, but it’s not recommended if you have sparse or fragile lashes, as the results may be minimal. It’s also best to avoid the treatment if you have eye infections, recent eye surgery, very sensitive eyes, or conditions like blepharitis. During your consultation, I’ll assess your lashes and let you know if a lift is suitable or not!
-
What is the aftercare for a lash lift?
For the first 24–48 hours after your lash lift and tint, keep your lashes dry—avoid steam, sweating, swimming, or applying any skincare or makeup near the eyes. Skip lash serums, oil-based cleansers and products, as they can weaken the lift; instead, use a gentle or micellar cleanser. Avoid sleeping on your face to prevent crimping the lashes, and gently brush them daily with a clean spoolie to maintain their shape. After 48 hours, you can wear non-waterproof mascara.
-
What is the prep for a lash lift?
Arrive with clean skin and no eye makeup for at least 24 hours prior. Remove your contacts before the appointment and bring glasses if needed. Avoid using strong acids (AHA, BHA), retinols, or retinoids around the eye area for at least four days before your session.
-
Can I wear mascara?
You cannot wear mascara for the first 48 hours. After that, you can use a non-waterproof mascara. I recommend using micellar water to remove make, since it doesn’t contain any alcohol, oils, or fragrances.
Brands I recommend:
Maybelline Lash Sensational and Maybelline Sky High.
-
What is the keratin treatment?
A vegan extract, made from amino acids from plants, roots, flower and more, that infuses keratin, a protein naturally found in hair, to nourish and fortify each lash during the process and reduce hair fall. This treatment not only creates a long-lasting curl but also leaves lashes healthier, fuller, and more resilient.
Eyebrow Lamination FAQs
-
Is threading included with a lamination?
Threading is not included in the price because it take time and effort for each individual service. If you are planning on getting your eyebrows threaded, please remember to book that service along with the eyebrow lamination and/or eyebrow dye. The price ranges from $12-15, depending on whether you qualify for the discount. To learn more about the discounts, click here.
-
Who is best suited for a lamination?
Not recommended if pregnant, breastfeeding, or if you have Psoriasis, Eczema, Alopecia, very sensitive skin, active pimples, or use retinol. A lamination would benefit you if: your brows are “thinner” but you have long hair, curly bits of hair, or minor gaps. During your consultation, I’ll honestly let you know if it’s worth it or suggest another option.
-
How long does it last?
The service usually lasts between 4 to 6 weeks with good maintenance. There are many things that can reduce its effect like oily skin, using brow products, serums, and more. The first two days after the lamination are the most important days because your hair is vulnerable during this time period.
-
Can I get my brows tinted with a lamination?
Yes you can get your brows tinted during the lamination, but you can only get the Eyebrow Dye with the Profusion Lamination System. The Henna Eyebrow Tint cannot be used during this service because your eyebrows will likely react to the product and cause severe dryness and flaking.
-
Is redness normal after a lamination?
Redness and mild swelling is normal after your treatment. If you develop a blister or rash, call your doctor's office (this is extremely rare and is most commonly due to a black tint during the brow dyeing process or if you're allergic, which can be avoided with the patch test). Please contact me if you need a consultation on whether to book the brow dye or not.
-
Do I need a Patch Test?
Although not required, I recommend that you book a patch test and your eyebrow threading 1-2 days prior to your lamination to avoid irritation and an allergic reaction down the road, although the majority of my clients prefer both the threading and lamination on the same day and have never had an issue. If you are pregnant or have a medical condition, please avoid this service.
-
Can I get my eyebrow wet after my service?
Avoid getting your eyebrows wet for at least 24 hours after your lamination. This includes steam, sweat, swimming, and makeup or skincare products on the brow area. Keeping the brows dry allows the lamination to fully set and helps maintain the lifted, smooth shape for longer. After 24 hours, you can gently cleanse and apply nourishing oil or serum to keep them hydrated.
-
Can I sleep on my face at night?
It’s best to avoid sleeping on your face after your Brow Lamination. Pressure or friction from your pillow can disrupt the newly set shape and cause hairs to bend in unwanted directions. Try to sleep on your back during this time to help your brows keep their lifted, uniform look. If you’re a side sleeper, hang off of your pillow to avoid pressing against your brow hairs.
-
What is the aftercare?
For the first 24–48 hours after your brow lamination, keep your brows completely dry—avoid steam, humidity, sweating, swimming, and skincare products around the area. Skip oil-based products, use a gentle cleanser once the setting period has passed, and comb your brows daily to maintain their shape. Also, try not to sleep on your face to prevent flattening or bending the hairs. Learn more, here.
Eyebrow Dye FAQs
-
What's the difference between henna and brow dye?
The eyebrow dye primarily colors the brow hairs, while henna can tint both the hairs and the skin, creating more depth and a fuller look. Additionally, only the Eyebrow Dye can be applied in addition to an eyebrow lamination.
-
How long does the eyebrow dye last?
The eyebrow dye typically last about 1 week on the skin and up to 3-5 weeks on the brow hairs, depending on skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare. It’s important to avoid using harsh cleansers, oil-based products, and brow serums.
-
Who should avoid a brow dye service?
You should avoid a henna eyebrow tint if you have sensitive skin, eczema, psoriasis, or open cuts around the brow area, as the natural dye may cause irritation. It’s also not recommended if you’ve had an allergic reaction to hair dye, black henna, or PPD in the past.
-
Can I get this service if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
While this color system is formulated to be gentle and ammonia-free, pregnant or breastfeeding clients should consult their doctor before booking. If approved, a patch test is always recommended at least 24–48 hours before your appointment to ensure your skin reacts safely.
-
How should I prep before my brow dye?
Arrive with clean skin and no makeup or skincare products on your brows. Avoid exfoliating, retinol, or chemical peels near the area 48 hours prior.
-
Will this work if I have sparse brows?
It’s best to schedule a consultation before your service so I can assess your brows and give honest feedback. Many clients who believe their brows are thin or sparse actually have lighter hairs that simply need tinting to bring out their natural fullness.

Will this work if I have sparse brows?
Having “thinner brows” and “sparse brows" are two different things. If you have either, it’s recommended to have a consultation prior to your service. I will be honest with you and tell you whether I believe you will benefit from this service or not.
