HD Brows is a treatment for eyebrows that is completely individual because it's tailored to the specific person’s brows. You have to be trained directly by HD Brows to be able to do this treatment. Our Salon Director has a Master’s certification in HD Brows, which is rare, meaning that Flawless Faces has become a local hub for HD Brows within the region.
There are usually seven steps to the process. The whole appointment usually takes around 30 minutes, so it's much more thorough than a standing eyebrow wax/thread and tint. It's also worth leaving your brows alone for a few weeks so you get the best possible results.
First you’ll have a consultation where the Therapist talks through your brows, the shape, the colour and how you want them to look. It's here you can talk about any issues you have with them – whether there are sparse areas or you're unhappy with the shape, and they can advise on where to go from there.
If you are looking for thicker, fuller brows, it might be that you and your Therapist decides on a regrowth programme but again, this will differ depending on what they're like. If the eyebrows are over-plucked you'll work with them to grow in certain areas and you'll be shown how to fill them in properly in between appointments. If you're on this programme, the Therapist will probably encourage you to use the lash and brow booster which promotes hair growth.
You can still get the HD Brows treatment though because the hairs that are needed for the end result brow will be left alone and be styled around this area.
The next step is tinting the brows. The colour is matched to the hair colour and style that's wanted so they don’t end up looking out of place. The dye is applied before any of the shaping starts so that it grabs onto all of the little baby hairs you might have so these can then be styled and help to fill out the brows. Once the dye has taken, the shaping starts. This is a mixture of waxing (this helps with the precision of the shape), threading (for the areas the wax may have missed) and plucking for any final stray hairs.
HD Brows aren’t permanent although if you’re put on a regrowth programme, the hairs you accumulate during that obviously are – which is the point. The tint as well as the shape need upkeep as there will be fading and regrowth over time. Treatments can last between four to six weeks although this can vary from person to person.
Our Express HD Brows is a shorter service, tailored to your brow needs, and is excellent for maintaining your shape between HD Brows appointments without affecting your re-growth programme. New clients are advised to have one of our full HD treatments on their first visit to us.
Brow Lightening can be added to your treatment and is used to match prominent or dark brows to the client’s hair colour. It enables tinting of grey/white hairs that don’t usually take on colour due to hair structure.
