Eyebrow Reshape Wax

What to Expect During Your Appointment

Your appointment starts with brow mapping—aligning with your nostril, pupil, and outer eye corner to mark the ideal start, arch, and end of each brow. The area is cleansed to remove makeup and oil, then wax is applied in the direction of hair growth and removed quickly against it, pulling hair from the root. Key steps include:

• Waxing underneath the brow to define the lower line
• Removing hair above the tail and between the brows (glabella)
• Tweezing any stray hairs the wax didn't catch
• Applying a soothing post-wax lotion to calm redness

The entire service typically takes 15–20 minutes, and you'll leave with noticeably more defined, symmetrical brows.

How Long Results Last and Aftercare

Because waxing removes hair from the root, your brows will stay smooth and shaped for several weeks—typically 3–4 weeks before regrowth becomes noticeable. To keep your results looking their best:

• First 24 hours: Avoid makeup on the brow area, hot showers, steam, saunas, and heavy exercise. Keep hands away to prevent irritation.
• Ongoing care: Use a light, fragrance-free moisturizer or aloe to soothe the area. After 48 hours, gentle exfoliation can help prevent ingrown hairs.
• Sun protection: Apply SPF around the brows to prevent pigmentation changes, especially in the Weymouth sunshine.

Temporary redness and mild sensitivity are common immediately after waxing and usually subside within a few hours.

Who This Service Suits

Eyebrow reshape wax is ideal if you want a quick, long-lasting way to clean up and define your brows without daily maintenance. It works well for:

• Removing fine, barely visible hairs that tweezers might miss
• Creating a customized shape tailored to your face rather than a one-size-fits-all style
• Clients who prefer longer intervals between appointments compared to tweezing

However, waxing may not be suitable if you have active sunburn, broken skin, or infections around the brow area, or if you're using strong retinoids or have recently had a chemical peel. Let Nicki know about any skin sensitivities or treatments beforehand. Your brow hair should be around 1/4 inch long for the wax to grip effectively—very short hairs may need tweezing instead.

Why Waxing Over Other Methods

Compared to tweezing, waxing removes many hairs—including fine ones—in one swift movement, giving a smoother, cleaner finish in less time. Unlike shaving, it doesn't blunt the hair tip and offers much longer-lasting results because hair is pulled from the root. You'll also benefit from professional brow mapping, ensuring your shape flatters your unique facial structure rather than following trends that might not suit you.
