Have you heard that quote? I hear it quite a bit, from clients that say their brows are completely different and they feel obligated to keeping them that way. Well, I hate to say it, but to me that just doesn’t make sense. Why? When something on your face is not aligned right, your eye actually goes to the one that seems ‘off’. For example, lips that are thinner on the top lip and thick on the bottom lip (or vice vesa), your eye automatically goes to one, and not the other. So if your eyebrows are two different shapes, or one’s higher than the other, or whatever the case may be, should they stay that way? I say no because ideally, you want them to be as aligned and as the same shape as possible to create the most perfect frame for both eyes.
Can they be fixed? Absolutely. I do it all the time. And the fix is usually so subtle, it only takes 2/3 hairs to make the correction.
The most common eyebrow difference I see is when one eyebrow is higher than the other. Most faces are slightly ‘un’ aligned to begin with. Just divide your face in half vertically right down the middle and the right side will be slightly different than the left. That’s actually very normal. But some faces are ever more so. So much so that you actually see in the eyebrows, as one being higher than the other. How to fix? By taking off about 2/3 hairs at the very top of the arch to bring the eyebrow down and bringing the bottom eyebrow up by adjusting it as well. I highly recommend to have a specialist do it for you, taking too much off in the wrong place can completely alter your brows, (and not in a good way!).. but just that little bit can do enough to get eyebrows looking back on track again, and no one will notice that one of your brows was slightly higher than the other.
That’s just one of the ways you can adjust and alter brows to get them perfect.
See? And you thought perfect eyebrows was just in getting the arch right….
