Things to consider before eyebrow lamination
Treating your eyebrows at home with a keratin serum is very important. Whenever the hair is treated, there should be care products at home that moisturize, treat and maintain the condition of the hair. You can buy the keratin serum in our beauty salons in connection with the service. It can be used for eyebrows and eyelashes.
Laminating the brows makes the hairs more porous, so the permanent color sticks to them stronger than normal. Your brows may be slightly darker 1-2 days after the service until you wash your brows for the first time after treatment. This can be done after 24 hours. Permanent color is kept for at least the minimum time, so that the color stays in the eyebrows for as long as possible. We have many different shade options that can be customized according to your wishes.
We recommend taking the service at least four days before an important trip, so that the color in your brows is slightly lighter from the first treatment.
Some of the self-tanning agents applied to the face react with the eyebrow dye, so the use of self-tanner should be avoided at least two days before coloring and two days after coloring.
For sparse / thin eyebrows you may not get the desired thicker end result. If you are worried about booking the service, you can send a picture of your eyebrows for consultation to info@bluelagoon.fi.
Lamination is typically renewed every 8-12 weeks, depending on the growth cycle of your own eyebrows.
Use of oils on eyebrows
Regular use of oils in eyebrows makes so-called oil film, in which case the substances affecting the lamination cannot work as effectively, and the final result may remain light. Eyebrows react to the use of oily products individually. Certain oils have no significant consequences, while for others, even small amounts of oil in the eyebrows can have a strong effect on the final result. According to the most recent recommendation, the use of oil-containing products in the brows should be stopped already 4-8 weeks before lamination. Oil is also not recommended between the Brow Lift treatments.
Contraindications to Brow Lift
Allergies
Allergic reactions are extremely rare. However, it is possible that the skin of the eyebrows may react to the lamination materials with redness or itching. Customers allergic to cosmetics must undergo an allergy test before the service. Note An official allergy test can only be performed by a doctor.
Pregnancy and breast feeding
The body’s hormonal balance changes during pregnancy and breastfeeding, and it also affects hair growth. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, we recommend taking the service only when the hormone activity has balanced, in order to get the desired end result. There is a possibility that the eyebrows will not set as desired due to hormones.
Alopecia
Brow lamination treatment cannot be performed on a client with alopecia.
Cytostat or radiotherapy
It is not recommended for cytostatic or radiotherapy patients to do lamination during treatments.
Trichotillomania
A person suffering from trichotillomania, i.e. compulsive plucking of eyelashes, hair or eyebrows. Can’t do lamination.
Age limit
The age limit for Brow Lift is 16 years.
Eye infections
If you have an eye infection, we do not recommend taking the service when the inflammation is active.
Pregnancy / breastfeeding & beauty care
Hormonal changes during pregnancy and breastfeeding can effect the skin, eyelashes, nails, eyebrows, etc., so taking any beauty treatments during pregnancy or breastfeeding is the customer’s own decision and therefore the customer’s responsibility.
Home care instructions after Brow Lift
The brows must not be washed or put on make-up for the first 24 hours, as it weakens the effect of the lamination and may dry out the hair. If you eat supplements that affect hair growth, the lamination may take a shorter time, because as the eyebrows grow, the lamination gradually disappears from the eyebrows. Brow Lift does not “disappear” during 8 weeks, instead it grows out as your brows grow and regenerate. The life cycle of eyebrows is 8-12 weeks.
The use of keratin mascara is highly recommended and important after lamination, so that the moisture balance and general condition of the brows remains throughout the growth period. Keratin mascara is oil-free and is used in the morning and evening. You can also use it on your eyelashes under mascara. You can buy keratin mascara from our beauty salons.
You can use brow make-up and remove make-up without worry, even if you have had brow lamination done. We do not recommend using waterproof make-up in the eyebrows after lamination. For makeup removal, we recommend oil-free makeup removal products.
If you feel that the design of the Brow Lift is made too strongly upwards or they do not seem to settle into place, we can do a repair treatment for them within the next 7 days after the original service. In this case, please contact the beauty salon as soon as possible.
