I had my first proper eyebrow consultation this week, courtesy of @winkbrowbar (literally - they brought me in for free as part of their brow artist training program). Coming in, my eyebrow care history, just like my eyebrows, was sparse. I overplucked in the early 2000s, never really quite managed to grow them back, and started to get them threaded on a regular basis 2-3 years ago when my wedding makeup artist told me I really needed to. The technicians who took care of me (one student and one teacher I imagine) were so friendly and seemed super knowledgeable. They took the time to discuss my eyebrow concerns, even my skin concerns in general, before giving their prescription: brow shaping (through threading) followed by brow lamination and tinting, to de-accentuate the "meat cleaver" shape -their word- I was sporting, fill in spaces and stretch the hair as fast as it would go, then darken any blonde hairs. They also recommended their brow growth serum which I purchased at the end of the session ($60). They seemed pretty confident that with continued use of the serum, I would be able to forego the brow lamination next time and stick to threading. If not, they're really good salespeople 🤣. The final result took a moment to get used to, because it felt too dark. But after my first face wash, the color seemed to fade just slightly and I started to really dig my new eyebrows. One is not shaped as nicely as the other, but that's really a function of what they had to work with in the first place. >> Swipe all the way right for the "before" photo >> Overall I highly recommend the experience. I would definitely go again, not as a regular treatment, but on occasion (it's $27 for threading, $90 for brow lift and $28 for tinting). --- #archaddicts #browgoals #browlift #eyebrowlamination #hennabrows #browshape #browsbrowsbrows #laminationbrows #browtransformation #browtinting #unfilteredhonestreviews (at Wink Brow Bar) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbBVU1jr0g0/?utm_medium=tumblr
