Brows and Waxing

“Does waxing really hurt?” A little zing, never a sting. Jodie uses a hypoallergenic, low-temp wax that grips hair, not skin, and follows with a soothing serum. Most clients say it feels like a quick pull and it’s over.

“Brow Tint vs. Henna Tint—what’s the real difference?” Regular Tint: Dyes only the hair for soft definition that lasts 3–4 weeks. Henna Tint: Plant-based color that stains the hair and lightly stains the skin beneath, filling sparse spots for up to 6 weeks. It’s the go-to if you want extra fullness without makeup.

“How long will lamination last, and will it damage my brows?” A lamination’s brushed-up lift holds 6–8 weeks. Jodie uses a gentle solution and nourishing keratin serum, so there’s no breakage—just fluffy, well-behaved brows.

“Any prep I should do before my appointment?” Come with clean skin (skip brow makeup and heavy moisturizers). Pause retinoids or strong exfoliants 48 hours beforehand to avoid sensitivity. That’s it!

“I’m pregnant/nursing—are these services safe?” Brow waxing and shaping are generally pregnancy-safe. For tint or henna, Jodie can patch-test first or swap to a clear lamination if you prefer. When in doubt, check with your healthcare provider.

“How long should my brow hairs be before a wax or shaping?” About ⅛–¼ inch (think grain-of-rice length). If you can pinch the hair, Jodie can wax it. Too short and the wax can’t grab; too long and it may tug. When in doubt, skip the tweezers for two weeks and come on in.

“Will tint or henna work on my gray/white brow hairs?” Yes! Jodie custom-blends pigments to cover resistant, lighter hairs so every strand shows up to the party.

“Can I book lamination, tint, and waxing all in one visit?” Absolutely. Jodie sequences services so your skin stays happy, tint develops evenly, and lamination locks it all in. Plan on about 45 minutes of self-care bliss.
