The Brow Lamination Process (Brow Lift), Frenkel PMU House

Brow lamination, also called a brow lift, is a non-invasive treatment that smooths, lifts, and sets your brow hairs in place. It creates a fuller, fluffier, more polished brow without any tattooing. It can tame unruly hairs, create symmetry, or give the brows a brushed-up look.

What happens at your appointment

We start by discussing whether you want a subtle lift or a bold, feathered look. Your artist cleanses the area, applies a gentle lifting solution, and shapes the hairs into your desired style. A neutralizing solution sets the new shape, and a nourishing serum finishes the treatment for healthy, shiny brows. See the brow service options for current appointment lengths and what each package includes.

Results & aftercare

Your brows look lifted and neatly groomed after the treatment. Results typically last 6–8 weeks. To keep them at their best:

  • Keep brows dry for the first 24 hours
  • Skip oil-based products near the brows
  • Brush them into place each morning

Read the full instructions on our aftercare page.

Is brow lamination right for you?

If you have gaps, thinning areas, or stubborn hairs that will not stay put, or you just want a fluffier, styled look, lamination may help. Compare the lamination-only and shaping-and-tint packages before booking. It works well on most hair types and face shapes, and can be paired with a lash lift & tint in the same visit.

Lamination vs nano brows: which fits your goals?

Lamination redirects existing hairs that are unruly, flat, downward-growing, or asymmetric. If your main concern is gaps and missing density, nano strokes or powder shading may help where lamination alone cannot. Many of our clients use both: lamination to shape the hairs and permanent makeup to add definition beneath them. A free consultation can help you decide which approach fits your brows.

Does lamination damage your brows?

It should not when performed properly. Lamination restructures the hair with a lifting solution, similar chemistry to a lash lift or a gentle perm. Overprocessing (too long, too strong, or repeated too often) leaves hairs brittle and frizzy. We wait at least 6 weeks between treatments, adjust processing time to your hair's thickness, and apply a nourishing serum after every session. Between appointments, a drop of brow oil at night keeps laminated hairs flexible and shiny.

The lamination + tint combo

Lamination changes the direction of the hairs; tint adds color. Together they create a lifted, fuller-looking brow with one or two shades more definition. You can book both in our Brow Lamination, Tint and Shaping package. Lamination Only and Brow Shaping and Tint are separate options. The tint fades from the hairs over 3–4 weeks while the lift itself holds 6–8, so the color and shape soften at different rates.

Quick answers

How often can I get brow lamination?

Every 6–8 weeks allows the lift to relax and new growth to come in. More frequently than 6 weeks risks over-processing the hairs.

Can I get brow lamination while pregnant?

The lifting solutions have not been studied for use during pregnancy, so most professionals, us included, recommend waiting or getting your doctor’s OK first. Brow shaping without chemicals is a safe alternative meanwhile.

What happens if my laminated brows get wet in the first 24 hours?

The set may relax unevenly. Brush the brows into place and let them dry. If the shape has visibly dropped, contact us and we will advise whether a reset is needed.
