Brow shape and tint, or brow lamination?
You are deciding how much change your brows need. Shape & Tint tidies the outline and adds colour. Lamination changes how the hairs lie, brushing them up for a fuller, groomed look. Lamination & Tint does both and is the most popular brow treatment. The right choice depends mostly on whether your brows need colour, direction, or both.

Choose it if
Eyebrow Shape & Tint
Choose Shape & Tint if your brows already grow in a tidy direction but look light, patchy in colour or undefined. It is the simplest way to get a cleaner outline and more definition, with almost no daily effort afterwards.
Eyebrow Lamination
Choose Lamination if your brow hairs grow in different directions, lie flat or leave gaps, but you are happy with their colour. It gives a fuller, brushed-up look using only your own hairs.
Eyebrow Lamination & Tint
Choose Lamination & Tint if your brows need both direction and colour, or you want the most visible change in one appointment. It is the most popular brow treatment at the salon.
The honest trade-off
Eyebrow Shape & Tint
It does not change the direction the hairs grow, so unruly or flat brows stay that way.
Eyebrow Lamination
Without tint, very fair or fine hairs can still look light even when brushed up.
Eyebrow Lamination & Tint
It is the biggest change of the three, and your brows must stay completely dry for the first 24 hours.
Bottom line
If you are unsure, Lamination & Tint gives the most visible difference for most brows. Choose Shape & Tint if your brows already grow neatly and only need a cleaner outline and some colour.
