About 45 minutes, most of it spent letting the lifting and setting solutions work.
Includes lamination, brow mapping, and wax and tweezer shaping, with no tint. New clients: 15% off select facial + lamination combos on the first visit.
Best for brows with enough natural hair and color that simply grow in the wrong direction, curl, or go flat by midday.
Lamination only looks good when the shape underneath is right.
We map your ideal brow before the lamination, so hairs are set toward a shape that suits your face instead of simply straight up.
Fine, coarse and previously tinted brow hairs respond differently, so processing time is adjusted to your hair type to avoid over-processing.
If your brows are too sparse for lamination to help, we will tell you and walk you through permanent makeup options instead of selling a service that will not deliver.
What happens in 45 minutes
We check the skin around your brows for irritation, ask about retinoids and recent treatments, and map the shape you want, from soft and brushed to bold and feathery.
A lifting solution softens the bonds inside each brow hair so the hairs can be combed upward and into place. Processing time depends on how fine or coarse your hair is.
A setting solution locks the new direction in, and a nourishing finish goes on to condition hairs that have just been processed.
Wax and tweezers clean up anything outside the mapped line. We then explain the dry period: no water, steam, sweat or makeup on the brows for 24 to 48 hours.
The only difference is color, so start with your natural brow shade.
Choose this if your brows are naturally dark enough to look defined once they are lifted. You get the full lamination and shaping, with nothing extra to maintain.
Add color when your natural shade is fair, coppery, silver or bleached by the sun. Lamination with tint makes the lifted hairs read fuller from across a room.
If your hairs already lie flat and behave, you may not need lamination at all. Design and tint is a lighter place to start.
Pair your lamination with a one-hour facial built around your skin that day. Plan the facial first, since your brows need to stay dry once they are laminated.
Give your lashes the same lift. If you already know you want both, the combined brow and lash package covers them in one visit.
Ten minutes, done in the same chair while you are here.

Built for humid Boca mornings
Brow gel is a losing fight on a sticky summer morning in Boca Raton. Lamination changes the direction the hairs lie, so they stay lifted without product through a round of pickleball, a humid evening at Mizner Park or a boat day on the Intracoastal once the first two days have passed. You brush them up with a spoolie and you are done, for about 6 to 8 weeks.
Where to go next with your brows
See every shaping, tint and lamination option on our brow services page. Lifted brows look especially good next to a lash lift and tint. If lamination cannot fill the gaps you see, permanent makeup such as microblading or powder brows is the longer-lasting alternative.
Brow lamination is a semi-permanent treatment that uses a lifting solution to soften the structure of the brow hairs, then sets them in a new, brushed-up direction. The result looks fuller and more uniform, with nothing placed in the skin. It is often described as a perm for your brows.
Most people see results for about 6 to 8 weeks. The effect softens gradually as new, unlaminated hairs grow in, and how you care for your brows in the first 48 hours affects how well the set holds.
Done by a trained esthetician and spaced properly, lamination should not damage healthy brows. Problems usually come from solutions left on too long or treatments repeated too close together, which can leave hairs dry or brittle. A nourishing brow oil at night, starting after the dry period, helps keep them conditioned.
Wait at least 6 to 8 weeks between sessions, and longer if your brows are fine or you are growing them out. Giving the hairs time to cycle through protects them from over-processing.
Lamination works with the hair you already have. It can make thin brows look fuller by spreading hairs over small gaps, but it cannot create hair where none grows. For clearly sparse areas, microblading or powder brows on our permanent makeup page are the better fit.
Yes, this is often where lamination shows the biggest change. Coarse, curly or downward-growing hairs are hard to control with gel, and lamination sets them in one direction. Coarse hair can need a different processing time, which your esthetician adjusts on the day.
Postpone it if the skin around your brows is broken, sunburned, or in an eczema or psoriasis flare, or if you have reacted to perm or hair dye products. Pause retinoids on the brow area for about a week first. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, check with your doctor or OB before booking.
For the first 24 to 48 hours, keep your brows dry and skip steam rooms, saunas, hard workouts and brow makeup. Sleep on your back if you can and do not rub the area. After that, brush them into place each morning.
Yes. Some clients want a sleek, feathered lift and others prefer a softer, more natural direction. Tell us during mapping, and bring a photo of a look you like.
Usually yes, once your microblading is fully healed, because lamination works on the hairs rather than the pigment. Let us know when your last session or touch up was so we can plan the timing.
