If you’ve typed in “Brow lamination Austin”, you’re probably wondering what this treatment is, how it works, and whether it’s worth it. Let’s break it down in plain terms—with no fluff.
What is Brow Lamination and Tint?
Brow lamination is a professional treatment that lifts and repositions your eyebrow hairs so they all point in the same, desirable direction—typically upwards and outwards. The technique makes brows look fuller, neater, and more uniform.
Brow tinting involves applying a semi-permanent dye to the eyebrow hairs (and sometimes skin beneath) to enhance colour, depth, and definition—especially helpful if your brows are light, sparse, or you simply want more impact.
When you combine lamination and tinting, you’re getting a two-pronged effect: shape + colour. The lamination gives structure; the tint gives definition. This combo is offered by Lash and Company Austin under their Brow Services menu.
Why Would You Want It?
Here are some real-world reasons people get this treatment:
If your eyebrows are naturally unruly or grow in different directions, lamination helps tame them into a consistent shape.
If you have light or faded brow hairs (or areas with less hair), tinting fills in visually and gives more presence.
If you’re tired of spending 5-10 minutes each morning trying to brush, fill, or shape your brows, this treatment reduces your daily effort.
If you like the “Instagram brow” look—fuller, lifted, neatly brushed up brows—then this offers that effect without permanently changing the hair (like microblading).
What Happens During the Treatment?
At a place like Lash and Company Austin:
You’ll have a consultation – they’ll look at your natural brow shape, hair type, skin tone, and talk about what look you want.
For lamination: A “lifting” solution is applied to break down bonds in the brow hairs so they can be brushed and reshaped. Then a neutraliser sets the new direction, and a nourishing oil or conditioner finishes the service.
For tinting: A semi-permanent dye is applied to the brows, chosen for the right undertone and shade for you. The colour will darken or define the hairs and sometimes the skin beneath.
Combined, you’ll come out with brows that look fuller, neatly groomed, and defined.
How Long Does the Effect Last?
Brow lamination: Typically, the effect lasts 4-6 weeks, depending on hair growth and how you treat your brows afterwards. (At other salons in Austin, they list up to six weeks.)
Brow tinting: At Lash and Company Austin, they say the tint “usually lasts three to four weeks.”
So when you combine them, you’ll likely see the best results for the first 3-4 weeks; after that, it gradually fades. If you want the “fresh” look to last, planning regular maintenance makes sense.
Aftercare & Maintenance Tips
To get the most out of your lamination + tint:
Avoid getting the brow area wet or sweaty for at least 24 hours after the service (some salons recommend) so the setting process fully stabilises.
Use gentle, oil-free cleansers around the brow zone; oils can break down tint faster.
Brush your brows daily with a clean spoolie (especially after lamination) to keep hairs in the desired shape.
Avoid heavy exfoliation or peeling products right on the brow area until you’ve done a few days of maintenance.
Schedule a follow-up every 4-6 weeks if you want to keep the look consistent.
Is It for Everyone?
While many people benefit from this treatment, there are some caveats:
If your brow hairs are extremely sparse or almost non-existent, lamination will have less effect (because there isn’t much hair to lift).
If you have very sensitive skin around your brows or have had reactions to dyes in the past, tinting may carry risk (ask about a patch test).
If you prefer a completely natural brow look without any chemical treatments, then regular grooming might be a better fit.
