What is a Brow Lamination?
Everyone has eyebrows, but one thing is certain….we all wish for different ones!
Brow lamination is a beauty treatment that makes eyebrows look fuller and more defined. Similar to a perm but for brows, it straightens and sets the hairs in place, giving them a neat and styled look. This procedure is great for taming unruly brows and creating a perfect shape that lasts for weeks without the need for daily grooming or makeup.
With an optional custom brow tint included, you can wake up with brows that only require a quick brush into place in the mornings, or a slick of brow gel to take you into a night out with gorgeous, sleek, defined brows.
A brow lamination takes under an hour out of your busy day and little naps during treatment are enthusiastically encouraged at Flutter Bomb!
What Can a Brow Lamination Do for You?
A brow lamination can completely change the look of your brows. It is becoming more sought after and is the most popular brow service at Flutter Bomb.
Here are some of the benefits of brow lamination:
- Fuller Appearance: Brow lamination makes eyebrows look thicker and more voluminous by straightening and lifting the hairs.
- Defined Shape: It creates a well-defined, polished look that enhances the natural shape of your brows.
- Long-Lasting Results: The effects can last for up to six weeks, reducing the need for daily maintenance.
- Tames Unruly Brows: It effectively controls and sets unruly brow hairs in place, ensuring a neat appearance.
- Low Maintenance: Post-treatment, your brows require minimal upkeep – just a quick brush in the morning or a touch of brow gel for special occasions.
- Customisable Tint: Optional tinting can add color and further enhance the appearance of your brows.
- Youthful Look: By lifting the brows, it can give your face a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
What Is the Process of a Brow Lamination?
A brow lamination is a quick and painless procedure designed to give you beautifully defined and fuller-looking eyebrows. Upon booking an appointment, your brow technician can answer any questions.
Here’s what you can expect during your brow lamination session:
1. Consultation
Your appointment begins with a brief consultation to discuss things like your desired brow shape, style, thickness, hair direction and colour. This ensures that the treatment is tailored to your preferences.
2. Cleansing
The brows are thoroughly cleansed to remove any makeup, oils, or impurities. This step ensures that the lamination products can penetrate the hairs effectively and is a critical step in ensuring longevity.
3. Applying the Lifting Solution
A lifting solution is applied to your brows. This solution softens the hair and allows it to be reshaped. The brows are brushed into the desired shape and covered with cling film for around 10 minutes. This helps to keep your brows in place and speeds up the process by trapping the heat in and reducing processing time.
4. Neutralising
After the lifting solution has done its job, a neutralising solution is applied and your brows are again covered with cling film. This sets the brows in their new position, ensuring they stay in place for several weeks. The neutralising solution is removed after around 5-10 minutes.
5. Tinting (optional)
If you opt for a brow tint, this is the stage where a custom color is applied to further enhance the appearance of your brows. The tinting process takes about 10 minutes and is tailored to match your desired colour choice.
6. Nourishing
Finally, a nourishing serum is applied to condition the brows and replenish moisture. This helps to keep the hair healthy and shiny.
7. Final Touches (optional)
The brows are brushed into place, and any stray hairs are tidied up to perfect the look. This can be done by using wax, or plucking for more precision. This ensures you walk away with perfectly styled eyebrows!
The entire process takes less than an hour, leaving you with perfectly shaped, fuller, and more defined brows that require minimal daily maintenance. At Flutter Bomb, we ensure you walk away with the brows you’ve always wanted!
Ultimate Brow Lamination Aftercare Tips
Please follow these aftercare tips to ensure your brow lamination lasts as long as possible. As with any service at Flutter Bomb, aftercare cards are available for you to take home, or alternatively, speak to your brow technician if you have any questions.
- Avoid Getting Brows Wet: For the first 24 hours after your treatment, keep your brows dry. Avoid washing your face, sweating, and activities like swimming or sauna use.
- No Makeup or Creams: Refrain from applying makeup, creams, or oils around your brows for at least 24 hours. This includes brow products and skincare.
- Gentle Cleansing: After the initial 24 hours, cleanse your face gently. Avoid using harsh cleansers or exfoliants directly on your brows.
- Avoid Excessive Touching: Try not to touch, rub, or play with your brows. This helps maintain the shape and integrity of the lamination. Staring at your gorgeous new brows in the mirror is highly recommended, however.
- Brush Daily: Use a clean spoolie brush to gently brush your brows into place each morning. This helps maintain their shape and keeps them looking neat. Your technician can provide a spoolie for you during your appointment.
- Moisturise: Keep your brows hydrated by applying a nourishing oil or serum. This can help maintain the health and shine of your brow hair.
- Avoid Heat and Steam: For the first 48 hours, avoid exposing your brows to excessive heat or steam, such as from hot showers or steam rooms.
- Be Gentle When Removing Makeup: If you need to remove makeup around your brows, use a gentle, oil-free makeup remover and avoid scrubbing the area.
By following these aftercare tips, you can enjoy beautifully laminated brows that stay full and defined for up to six weeks.

Alternative Brow Enhancing Treatments
If brow lamination isn’t the right fit for you, there are several other treatments and techniques to enhance your brows:
Microblading
A semi-permanent tattoo technique where fine needles create hair-like strokes to fill in and shape the brows. It provides a natural and long-lasting result.
Brow Tinting
This involves applying a semi-permanent dye to the brow hairs, giving them a fuller and more defined look. The effect typically lasts for 4-6 weeks. This treatment is available at Flutter Bomb, with a wide range of custom tint colours available.
Brow Henna
Similar to tinting, brow henna stains the skin beneath the brow hairs as well as the hairs themselves, providing a more filled-in look that can last up to 6 weeks.
Brow Shaping (Waxing/Threading)
Professional brow shaping through waxing or threading can help define the brow shape by removing excess hair and creating clean lines. Flutter Bomb offers brow waxing services.
Brow Extensions
Individual synthetic brow hairs are attached to your natural brows to add volume and shape. This method is ideal for special occasions and lasts for a few weeks.
Brow Pencils and Powders
Makeup products like brow pencils, powders, and gels can be used daily to fill in and define brows. They offer a temporary solution with a wide range of colors and finishes.
Brow Gels
Tinted or clear brow gels help to set the brows in place and add volume. They are easy to use and can enhance the natural shape and color of your brows.
Eyebrow Growth Serums
These serums promote the growth of natural brow hair, helping to achieve fuller brows over time. Consistent use is required for noticeable results.
Brow Tattooing (Permanent Makeup)
Similar to microblading but using a different technique, brow tattooing involves implanting pigment into the skin for a more permanent solution.
Each option provides unique advantages and outcomes, so select the one that aligns with your preferences and lifestyle.
