The best brow wax and brow shaping service
Your eyebrows are the frame of your face. Keeping them polished and looking their best is an important part of your beauty routine. Unfortunately, many people don’t understand the right brow shape for them or don’t even shape them at all. Keep reading to learn more about the benefits of brow wax and brow shaping.
What’s the Difference Between Brow Wax and Brow Shaping?
Brow waxing is for maintaining the current shape of your brows. The technician will tidy up all the loose hair and make everything look fresh and clean. As the name implies, warm wax will be used to efficiently remove unwanted hair.
A brow shaping is a more delicate process. The technician works with you to determine the right shape for your brow and alters its shape through calculated hair removal.
Types of Eyebrow Shapes for Your Face Shape
Picking the right eyebrow shape depends mainly on your own face shape and prominent features. Choosing shapes that are in style is also important to consider. Listed are the types of face shapes and the eyebrows that suit them best:
Oval
An oval face shape looks best with a straighter brow with light angles and soft arches.
Round
Round faces work best with higher angled brows to make your face appear longer.
Long
Flat eyebrows without many arches or angles are the best choice for a longer face.
Square
Thicker brows with prominent arches help add symmetry and balance to a strong jawline.
Heart
A short heart-shaped face benefits most from higher arches, while long heart-shapes should go for lower ones.
Diamond
Rounded brows can help to counterbalance the sharp edges of a diamond-shaped face.
Mapping Your Brow Shape
Mapping out the future shape of your brow is a very crucial part of the shaping process. Since the eyebrows don’t have a ton of hair, every hair counts, and ensuring they are all properly accounted for and handled is essential for the best shaping.
The mapping of the brow involves measuring and drawing in the desired shape with some sort of washable pencil, such as a white eyeliner or eyebrow pencil, before delving into the hair removal process.
Waxing
Following the mapping, the unwanted hairs that do not fit the desired brow shape must be removed. The technician will then use warm wax, never hot. If the wax feels like it is burning, inform the technician of the issue immediately. This is an unlikely outcome if done by professionals.
The wax is put on in the direction of the hair growth. From here, a small piece of cloth is placed over the wet wax. After allowing it to dry for a few seconds, the cloth piece is removed quickly in the opposite direction of hair growth. Following the removal, a wax cleanser is used to remove any remaining wax and also soothe the area.
Other Hair Removal Options and their Downsides
Waxing is not the only way to remove eyebrow hair. There are more common at-home methods that are used. But, the DIY style of eyebrow maintenance has a lot of downsides compared to professional waxing and shaping.
Tweezing
Tweezing is probably your go-to eyebrow treatment option. Tweezers are cheap and most likely already exist in your home. But, in addition to the extra pain tweezers can cause, they require a bit of luck and skill to perfectly pinpoint the right hairs. Also, without a mapped eyebrow shape, many get too enthusiastic and overpluck their brows, leaving them far too sparse.
Threading
Threading is an increasingly popular way to remove unwanted eyebrow hair. It requires a bit of educating, but it is a quick trick to learn and fast once you get the motion down. Regardless, threading is probably the most painful option there is. It works by snagging the hairs and pulling them out in one quick movement. Like tweezing, it is also easy to make mistakes.
Benefits of Brow Wax and Brow Shaping
Keeping your eyebrows tidy and properly shaped helps to:
Frame your face better
Look well-rested
Improve the look of makeup
Rock a better natural look
Compared to other hair removal methods, waxing is quicker, generally more painless, and longer-lasting. Waxing your brows ensures your new shape lasts as long as possible.
