TINTING BROWS – CARE TIPS FOR LONG-LASTING RESULTS

Tinting brows is one of the easiest ways to enhance your natural brow shape and colour, giving you fuller, more defined brows without daily makeup. Whether you are new to tinting brows or book regular appointments, proper care and upkeep play a huge role in how long your results last.

With the right preparation and aftercare, brow tinting can stay bold, even and polished for weeks. Below, we share our expert tips on how to prepare for your appointment, how to care for tinted brows afterwards, and what to avoid so your brow tint fades evenly and naturally.

HOW TO PREPARE FOR YOUR BROW TINTING APPOINTMENT

Getting the best results from tinting brows starts before you even sit in the chair. Preparing the brow area properly helps the tint absorb evenly and last longer.

Arrive with clean, makeup-free brows so your stylist can focus on precise shaping and colour application. In the days leading up to your appointment, gently exfoliate around the brow area to remove dead skin cells. This helps prevent patchiness and allows the tint to adhere more evenly to both the skin and hair.

Avoid oily skincare products, serums or heavy moisturisers around the brows for at least 24 hours before your appointment. Oils can create a barrier that prevents the tint from fully developing, which may shorten how long your brow tint lasts.

A well-prepped brow area sets the foundation for beautifully tinted brows that stay defined for longer.

AFTERCARE TIPS FOR TINTING BROWS – HOW TO MAINTAIN LONG-LASTING RESULTS

Proper aftercare is essential if you want your brow tinting to remain fresh, even and long-lasting. The first 48 hours are especially important, as this is when the tint is still settling into the skin and hair.

KEEP BROWS DRY AND OIL-FREE

For the first 24 to 48 hours after tinting brows, avoid getting your brows wet. Water, steam and sweat can interfere with the tint setting properly, causing uneven fading or patchiness.

Try to avoid swimming pools and ocean swims, saunas and steam rooms, hot showers directly on the brow area, and intense workouts that cause heavy sweating.

Oil-based cleansers, makeup removers and skincare products can also break down the tint more quickly. Stick to gentle, oil-free products around the brow area to help maintain your results.

Jordan’s personal advice is to cleanse carefully around the brows rather than directly over them. If your brows do get wet, gently pat them dry and avoid rubbing or wiping. Touching the brow area too often can also cause the tint to fade faster. If your lifestyle makes complete avoidance difficult, don’t stress. It simply means the tint stain on the skin may fade sooner while the hair tint remains.

WHAT TO AVOID FOR LONGER-LASTING BROW TINTING

Certain habits and products can significantly shorten the lifespan of tinted brows. To keep tinting brows looking their best, avoid the following in the days after your appointment.

Strong skincare products: Avoid Retin-A, AHAs, glycolic acids, exfoliants and active treatments around the brow area for at least 72 hours. These ingredients speed up skin cell turnover, which can cause the tint to fade prematurely.
Tanning and fragranced products: Self-tanning products, spray tans and heavily perfumed skincare should be avoided around the brows for at least 48 hours, as they can distort colour and lead to uneven fading.
Excessive sun exposure: UV exposure can break down brow tint faster. If you are spending time outdoors, consider wearing a hat or applying a gentle, brow-safe sunscreen around the area once your tint has fully settled.

By following these aftercare tips, tinting brows can stay bold, balanced and beautiful for weeks.

MAINTENANCE: KEEP YOUR BROWS LOOKING THEIR BEST AFTER TINTING YOUR BROWS

Keeping up with brow tinting maintenance ensures your brows stay bold, defined, and long-lasting. Follow these simple steps to maintain their perfect shape and colour:

REGULAR TOUCH-UPS

Schedule a brow tint refresh every 3–4 weeks to keep your colour looking fresh and vibrant, as a maintenance appointment in between laminations.
If you’ve had brow lamination, plan for maintenance every 6–8 weeks, depending on your hair growth cycle.

KNOW WHEN IT’S TIME FOR A TOUCH-UP

When your brows begin to fade, look uneven, or lose their shape, it’s time to book a maintenance appointment.
Keeping up with touch-ups ensures your brows always look polished and put together.

Hands Off!

Avoid tweezing, trimming, or reshaping your brows at home—this can lead to uneven regrowth and disrupt your shape.
Leave maintenance to your brow stylist for the best results.

With consistent care and professional touch-ups, tinting brows stays effortless, keeping your look fresh and defined.

ALLERGIES & SENSITIVITIES: WHAT TO KNOW BEFORE TINTING BROWS

While brow tinting is generally safe, it’s important to be aware of potential allergic reactions, especially if you have sensitive skin.

Patch Test Recommended: If you have never had brow tinting before or have a history of skin sensitivities, we recommend a patch test at least 48 hours before your appointment. This helps ensure you don’t experience any adverse reactions. You can book a patch test before your main appointment so you can be confident in your brow tinting.
Mild Redness is Normal: Some redness may appear after waxing or tinting your brows, especially for those with sensitive skin. This is a common reaction and usually fades within a few hours.
Signs of a Reaction: If you experience itching, swelling, irritation, or discomfort beyond the normal redness, contact your brow stylist immediately or seek medical attention if symptoms persist.

Your safety and comfort are our top priority. If you have any concerns about allergies or reactions, please reach out before your appointment. Book your brow tinting consultation today!

HOW LONG DOES TINTING BROWS LAST?

On average, brow tinting lasts one to two weeks on the skin, depending on skin type and skincare routine, and three to six weeks on the brow hairs, depending on hair growth and lifestyle.

Clients with oilier skin types, active lifestyles or frequent sun exposure may notice the tint on the skin fades more quickly, while the colour in the brow hairs remains longer.

Regular appointments and proper upkeep help maintain consistent colour and shape over time.
