Eyebrow Treatments and Services
Brow Tints and Shaping for a Polished Look
Perfectly shaped eyebrows are key to a polished look. Eyebrows frame the eyes, accenting a mirthful twinkle and expressing personality. A well-groomed, cocked eyebrow conveys a strong message. And a well-shaped, flatteringly-tinted eyebrow adds to a youthful appearance. It’s often mentioned how screen stars popular in the 1940s and 1950s look so much older than today’s stars. One reason is that the sparse, dark, painted-on brows popular in the '40s pulled the face down, adding years.
There’s another reason for maintaining the eyebrow’s natural shape and avoiding excess plucking. Besides improving appearance, eyebrows function to prevent excess moisture from dripping into the eyes. The arched shape of eyebrows allows sweat and raindrops to move down the side of the eyes rather than into them. Diverting the sweat is also beneficial because the salt in sweat can irritate and sting the eyes.
Salon Services
In terms of spa services, shaping, waxing, threading and tinting eyebrows are some of the best beauty buys available. Eyebrow services also comprise some of the fastest services. Within 15 minutes, a trained stylist can transform pale or gray, straggly or bushy brows into perfect arches that complement hair color and skin tone. When combining services, the extra 15 minutes spent on eyebrows are time and money well spent.
Natural Tints
Eyebrow services are available for both men and women. With aging, eyebrows might sprout coarse white hairs years before or after head hair starts to gray. Artfully colored, tinted eyebrows subtract years from the face. With the correct tone, eyebrows can make hair enhanced with highlights or color more natural. Better than makeup, youthful eyebrows can make the morning face look refreshed.
At Veda Salons, eyebrow tints are plant-based and non-irritating. Unlike head hair, eyebrows take up plant dyes quickly. Full tinting takes less than 5 minutes and typically lasts for about 4 months. Besides hiding gray, eyebrows can be lightened or darkened to complement hair color. The goal of eyebrow services is to augment nature. I have my brows waxed and tinted 2-3 times each year. Painless and fast, this is one of my favorite spa services and the most dramatic in terms of cosmetic effects.
Perfect Arches
A good stylist knows how to guide eyebrows into a complementary shape with a perfect arch. Most stylists note that the majority of their clients tend to pluck eyebrows too aggressively, causing thin, straggly brows. Thus, eyebrow treatments at spas tend to serve as coaching sessions. With the proper guidelines, clients learn how to maintain a well-groomed eyebrow shape between spa visits.
For younger clients, one session with a top eyebrow stylist is often enough to get them on the right path to good eyebrow grooming and a polished look.
