A professional’s guide to shaping and styling

 

In the world of beauty, eyebrows hold incredible power – they can transform a face, boost confidence, and make a statement. For us skincare and spa professionals, getting eyebrow shaping and correction just right is an art form. Let’s dive into some tried-and-true techniques and tips to help you work your magic and leave your clients feeling fabulous.

1. The Power of Personalized Consultation

A thorough consultation is your secret weapon. Dive deep into your client’s preferences, lifestyle, and desired look to craft eyebrows that truly reflect who they are. Ask as many questions as you feel you need to ask to cover all of your bases. A good place that I always tell my students to start with their client is “tell me a little about your brows.” Chat with your client about their preferences and maintenance routine to ensure they walk away with brows that feel uniquely theirs and that they feel confident they can maintain.

2. Getting to Know Your Canvas

Analyze your client’s facial features, considering their face shape, eyebrow density, and natural arch. This personalized approach sets the stage for creating flattering brows for each individual client.

3. Crafting the Perfect Shape

Map out or envision the ideal shape for your client prior to beginning the service. Whether you prefer threading, waxing, or tweezing, eyebrow shaping is more about knowing which hairs you need to leave versus hair removal. The goal is always symmetrical, balanced brows.

4. Fixing Flaws and Adding Flair

For clients with sparse or unruly brows, use grooming gels, pomades, highlighter, and even tinting or laminating to enhance fullness and tame wild hairs. Styling the brows also takes your eyebrow service to the next level, adding a nice finish to the brows you’ve created. (the same way hair stylists style their clients’ hair after a service)

5. Consistency Is Key

Educate your client on the importance of consistent appointments. Clients should return every two to three weeks so that we can maintain the shape we’ve created and continue the process of their brow correction. When clients wait too long to come in for an appointment and there is a lot of regrowth, it’s impossible for us to perfectly replicate the brows they left with at their last
appointment. Making sure they understand that all brow artists do things a little bit differently is important as well if they want to successfully continue the process of their brow correction.

6. Never Stop Learning

Stay ahead of the curve with the latest trends and techniques through classes, workshops, and practice.

In conclusion, perfecting eyebrow shaping and correction is about making people feel confident and beautiful. By taking a personalized approach, conducting thorough consultations, and staying up to date with the latest techniques, you’ll leave your clients feeling like a million bucks.
