If you searched for “Brow Tint Erie”, you might have just gotten a tint at the Lash and Company Erie location and decided the result’s a little too dark, too warm, or maybe you changed your mind and just want the tint faded. No worries—while tints are semi-permanent, there are safe ways to help them fade quicker and restore your natural look.
Why You Might Want to Fade the Tint
There are plenty of reasons people look to get rid of—or lighten—their brow tint:
The shade turned out much darker (or differently toned) than expected.
The tint stained the skin beneath the brows more than you’d hoped.
You’re prepping for a different look (lighter brow colour, bleached brows, etc).
You simply didn’t like the look and want to go back to your natural brow state.
Because the tint at Lash and Company Erie is designed to last (usually a few weeks) you’ll need to take active steps if you want it to fade earlier.
How the Tint Was Applied – What You’re Working Against
At the Erie location, when you choose brow tinting, you’re getting a semi-permanent dye applied to your brow hairs (and often a stain of the skin beneath) so your brows look fuller, darker, and defined. Because of that, the pigment needs to break down or be removed—it won’t just “wash off” like makeup.
Since the pigment is in the hair shaft (and possibly the skin surface) you’ll need to use gentle-but-effective techniques.
Safe Ways to Fade or Remove Brow Tint
Here are methods you can try, ranked from gentler to more aggressive. Use caution and patch-test if you have sensitive skin.
1. Oil or Oil-Based Cleanser
Using a natural oil (like coconut, olive, or castor oil) or an oil-based makeup remover helps loosen dye pigments in the hairs and on the skin. The oil penetrates and can help lift some of the tint.
- Apply a small amount with a cotton pad or gently rub the brows for a minute or two.
- Leave on for a few minutes, then rinse.
- Repeat daily if needed until you see the tint lighten.
2. Clarifying Shampoo or Gentle Exfoliant
A clarifying shampoo (used on the brow area carefully) or mild exfoliant can help fade the stain on the skin and lighten the hair. Because the dye pigment is semi-permanent, this method gradually wears it down.
- Apply a small amount of clarifying shampoo to a soft cloth or cotton pad, and gently roll over the brows.
- Leave on for a minute, then rinse. Limit to once a day to avoid skin irritation
3. Micellar Water / Make-Up Remover Pads
If there’s excess dye on skin around your brows (staining the skin rather than just the hairs), using micellar water or a gentle remover pad helps lift the superficial pigment.
- Soak a cotton pad, press gently to the brow area for 30 seconds, then wipe.
- Repeat until the stain diminishes.
4. Avoid Harsh Methods
There are more aggressive “home hacks” out there (hydrogen peroxide, toothpaste, baking soda), but they carry the risk of irritation, skin damage, or unwanted results. Use only if you’re comfortable and ideally under advice.
- Do not use acetone, strong bleaches, or harsh chemicals near your eye area.
- If you feel irritation, stop immediately.
Aftercare & What to Expect With “Brow Tint Erie”
After applying any removal method, moisturize the skin around your brows and apply a gentle brow gel or clear gel to keep hairs tidy.
- The tint will fade gradually. Expect a few days to noticeably lighten, maybe a week or more for most of the effect.
- If you’re still unhappy with the tint after several days of fading efforts, you might consider scheduling a touch-up or correction at the Erie location.
- Going forward, if you plan to re-tint your brows, ensure the shade chosen is right and talk to your technician about how long you might want the tint to last and how obvious the stain is.
Final Thoughts
If you’re looking into “Brow Tint Erie” and the tint didn’t turn out as you hoped, don’t stress. There are safe, manageable ways to fade the tint and restore a more natural look.

If in doubt, touch base with the salon where you had the tint applied—they can advise you or correct the shade.
