Our Best Brow Guide"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

Defining the natural shape of your eyebrows<\/a> with a brow pencil is a normal part of most makeup routines. But if you\u2019ve ever colored one brow darker than the other or accidentally flattened your arch and wondered, \u201cShouldn\u2019t this be easier?\u201d you aren\u2019t alone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you want to simplify your routine or create a more defined brow, eyebrow tinting can get you the look you want with ease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below, we break down what you can expect when getting your eyebrows tinted, including the average cost and when you\u2019ll need touch-ups. We\u2019ll also take you through how to get in touch with a brow artist in your area<\/a> to get the process started. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is eyebrow tinting?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Eyebrow tinting is the process of applying dye to the eyebrow hairs to temporarily darken or lighten them. <\/strong>This service<\/strong> also enhances your brows\u2019 natural arch. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The types of dyes often used for professional tinting include vegetable dyes and henna brow products<\/a>, though the dye your stylist selects for you will depend on your skin tone, allergies, and desired result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How long does tinting take?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you get your eyebrows tinted, you can expect the service to take anywhere from 15 to 20 minutes.<\/strong> This ensures your stylist has enough time to create your perfect shade, apply the dye, and let it set to achieve the desired effect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you add on other services, such as eyebrow threading<\/a> or brow l<\/a>a<\/a>mination<\/a>, however, your appointment will likely take longer as these services won\u2019t be completed at the same time. Additional services can also add to your cost. For example, brow lamination prices<\/a> can range between $35 and $130 on their own, and eyebrow threading costs<\/a> are about $20 on average.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re bundling a brow wax or threading service with your tint, make sure your brow artist removes hair after the brow tint. If done before, this can greatly increase your risk of infection and irritation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does eyebrow tinting work?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Eyebrow tinting works by dyeing both your main eyebrow hairs, as well as the smaller hairs around your brow to change its shape and length.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During your appointment, you and your technician will discuss what look you want and they\u2019ll create the dye to match your desired outcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. To prepare for the service, your brows will be cleaned to remove any makeup or bacteria.\u00a0<\/li>
  2. Your technician will apply Vaseline or a similar product to the skin around your brow to prevent staining.<\/li>
  3. Your technician will apply the dye to your brows using a small comb or brush to create your desired shape.\u00a0<\/li>
  4. The dye will be left on for several minutes, then wiped away to reveal a fuller-looking brow.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Eyebrow tinting vs. microblading<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    While both tinting and microblading<\/a> services can leave you with more defined, fuller-looking brows, there are key differences between the two that are important to understand before booking an appointment<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
