From the pencil-thin brows donned by actresses like Clara Bow back in the roaring ’20s, to the short and perfectly manicured look made popular by model Twiggy in the '60s, eyebrows have taken on a variety of shapes, sizes, and thicknesses over the years. 

More recently though, eyebrows have circled back to a more natural-looking version of themselves. Eyebrow lamination results in ‘80’s bushy brows', but reimagined as sleek and modern.

What is eyebrow lamination?

Eyebrow lamination is the latest professional beauty treatment. And the best part? It doesn’t matter if your brow hairs are thin and sparse, or thick and unruly. This is a beauty treatment for everyone!

It’s colloquially referred to as a ‘perm for your eyebrows’, but in reality, the lamination process has the opposite effect. Instead of creating a curl in your brow hairs, lamination works to smooth, straighten and soften them for a fuller, more defined look. 

If you like the look of microbladed brows but you’re terrified of needles, then eyebrow lamination is for you. Plus, you'll be able to skip having to style your brows with a styling gel or fill in any gaps with a brow pencil for a while, as the treatment is a semi-permanent one.

Before and after the treatment

How does it work?

Brow hairs are painted with a lifting cream that breaks down their bonds in order for them to be re-set into the desired shape. The hairs are then brushed upwards and outwards to make them look both thicker and longer with a neutralising lotion to set them in place. 

After this a moisturising oil or cream is applied to calm the skin and then any necessary tweezing or waxing will take place with the option of tinting your brows, should you wish to give them extra definition.

It takes about 60-minutes or less lasts between 6 and 8 weeks. Eyebrow lamination treatments are available at selected Sorbet salons nationwide.
