Eyebrow Waxing FAQs
Eyebrow waxing shapes and defines your brows removing unwanted hair with cold wax strips or hot wax. Once the wax is applied to the target areas, it cools and grips the hair; the therapist will then press down firmly on it, and quickly strip the wax off in the opposite direction of your hair’s growth, plucking out the hair from the root.
Your hair needs to grow a sufficient length in order for the wax to grip it, so leave 4-6 weeks between your eyebrow waxing appointments.
Firstly, check your eyebrow hair is long enough (at least ¼ of an inch/6mm) for the wax to grip, then consider what kind of shape you want your eyebrow to have so you can tell your therapist. Before you head to your appointment, make sure you aren’t wearing eye make-up.
Your therapist will begin by cleansing your brows to remove any makeup or lotions that could hinder the effectiveness of the waxing; they’ll then apply a pre-wax oil or serum to the eyebrow region to help ensure the wax sticks to your hair, not your skin. Next, they’ll apply the wax (cold wax strips warmed in their hands, or hot wax) to the area(s) you want hair removed from, let it set for a few seconds, before holding your skin taut and quickly pulling the hardened wax off in the opposite direction of your hair growth. They’ll repeat this until all the wax is removed, and then use tweezers to remove any remaining hair the wax wasn’t able to grip. To finish, your therapist will probably apply a soothing balm to reduce inflammation and redness.
Eyebrow waxing is considered a safe treatment when it’s done correctly, but it can damage the skin, cause burning and even scarring if it is carried out incorrectly. It is likely to cause temporary reddening, particularly if you have sensitive skin. Ask your therapist about the associated risks before you book.
Yes, but the risks of skin damage increase if brow waxing isn’t carried out by a professional. If you do want to wax your brows at home, opt for a home-waxing kit that uses hard wax, which is easier to remove.
