Brow Lifting Basel: lift, shape and tint your brows

Yes, that helps. Do not pluck or trim your brows for two to four weeks before your appointment, so there is enough hair to shape. Come without make-up and without creams on the brows, as oil and make-up weaken the lotions. Stop retinol products about two weeks beforehand; waxing or threading should be at least 48 hours in the past.

Ideally two to three days before. By then the first 24 hours are over, during which the brows stay dry and make-up-free, and you can bathe, sweat and wear make-up again. If it's your first Brow Lifting, a trial appointment a few weeks before the big day is worthwhile. That way you'll know how your brows react to the treatment.

Visually only. The Brow Lifting works with your own hairs: when they are lifted and tinted they look denser, and small gaps are less noticeable. Where no hairs grow, however, no new brow is created. Before we start, we look at your brows and tell you openly what is possible with your hair.

Brush your brows into shape briefly every morning, with brow gel if you like. In the evening, care for them with a brow oil or serum, as the lift slightly opens the outer layer of the hairs and they dry out faster. Use oil only after the first 24 hours. This keeps the hairs supple and glossy.

Wait a few days first: freshly set hairs often look stricter than they will later. After the first 24 hours, brush your brows in the direction you like and care for them with brow oil, and they will settle somewhat. If you still don't like the shape, get in touch with us in writing within 7 days, with photos. We will then arrange a check-up appointment at the studio.

The threading technique. The twisted cotton thread catches the hairs without heat or chemicals, the skin is barely irritated, and you can apply make-up straight afterwards. Waxing works faster and over a larger area, but it opens the pores, so a short break from make-up, sun and sauna applies afterwards. With us you get both, depending on your skin and preference.

After tinting, you should avoid water, sweat and steam on your brows for 24 hours, otherwise the colour will not last as well. After waxing, allow a break of 24 to 48 hours before sauna, swimming pool and direct sun, as the skin is irritated. Then apply sun protection to the area so that no pigmentation spots develop. Sun and salt water generally make the colour fade faster.

Eyebrow tints contain oxidation dyes related to PPD, one of the most common contact allergens. If you have ever reacted to hair dye, henna tattoos or lash tint, you should not have your brows tinted. At the first appointment we can, on request, carry out a patch test 24 to 48 hours beforehand at the studio. Please do not do self-tests at home, as these can also cause sensitisation. Shaping with thread or tweezers is always possible.

Yes, WOWBrows is possible during pregnancy and breastfeeding, including shaping and tinting. Hormones can make the skin more sensitive and cause the colour to take slightly differently. Let us know at your appointment and we will work particularly gently and choose the right colour intensity.

By only removing what bothers: the hairs between the brows, individual stray hairs above and below, and the temple side. The brow keeps its natural thickness and shape, without an arch and without a thin line. Overly long hairs are trimmed rather than plucked. You don't see the result as such, you just look well groomed.
