Brow Tip #5 Tweezing above the brow. Yes or no?

November 30, 2009 in Brow Tips

5. Yes you can tweeze above the brow.

200910220843 Brow Tip #5 Tweezing above the brow. Yes or no?

My rule of thumb: If the hair is not touching the brow in any way, there’s no way you can mess up the brow shape.  Simple as that. You’re actually tweezing hairs from the forehead and temple, not the brow.  But once you actually next to the brow, that’s another story. Taking too much off the top of the brow can result in holes and uneven brows, making 1 brow seem higher than the other.  So leave the actual shaping to your brow specialist. But cleaning up between visits for the strays is fine, as long as the hair is not touching the brow.

How To Book Tips: How Long to Wait?

How Long To Wait

I’m always amazed at how long most clients wait before coming in to see me for a brow shaping. Especially if it’s for the first time. And I don’t mean days.. I mean months. Longest I’ve heard? Six months.

Depending on how fast your brows grow, I would say anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks is a good time frame.  Yes, I can do more when there’s more hair, but keep in mind, that the longer the wait, the more hair that needs to be tweezed in places where it’s not even needed (i.e. between the brows, above, or far below the brow line).. so it only means that you’re walking around with iffy brows that much longer.

So don’t feel you need to grow in your eyebrows for 2-3 months before you make that appointment.  2-3 weeks is usually enough to reshape or fix a brow. If you’re looking to to grow very thin eyebrows thicker, then give it a month.

Brow Tip: It’s only the hairs that are closest to the brow line that are going to actually change to resize the brow.  Everything else will most likely get tweezed/waxed away.

Before You Book: Tweeze or Wax?

Elke’s Tips on what you need to know before you book.


eyebrow graph Before You Book: Tweeze or Wax?

Here are some things to consider before booking an eyebrow appointment.

To tweeze or wax?

That depends on the type of hair you have for your brows. Thicker, coarser hair responds best to waxing because you are more likely to get the root, therefore slowing down hair growth. Though thicker hair will almost always grow back (sorry!), you’ll get results that lst longer with waxing.

Thinner, lighter hair likes tweezing because you can keep most of it’s shape without worrying about hairs not growing back. If you have thin hairs, be very careful with waxing along the eyebrow line. These hairs probably won’t grow back, since thin hair if finer and weaker, hairs usually don’t grow back. Ask any blonde that’s gotten her light blonde hairs waxed. And if it’s a bad wax job? You’ll be stuck with an eyebrow shape that may not grow back at all.

Always request that stray hairs between the brows and way below the brow to be waxed, while the hairs along the brow line are tweezed. That way you can play and change the shape when you want with eyebrow hairs that will grow back.
