Brow Lamination vs Brow Tinting: What’s the Difference & Which Is Right for You?
If you're searching for the best brow treatment to define, lift, and enhance your natural eyebrows, you're likely weighing up brow lamination and brow tinting. While both treatments can create beautifully defined brows, they work in different ways—and depending on your brow goals, one might suit you better than the other.
In this post, we’ll break down the difference between brow lamination and tint, their benefits, and how to choose the right option for your brows. We’ll also highlight our top London Brow Company products that help maintain salon-quality results at home.
What Is Brow Lamination?
Brow lamination is a semi-permanent treatment that restructures and sets your brow hairs into a fuller, more lifted shape. Think of it as a brow "perm" that smooths and realigns hairs into your desired direction—ideal for creating fluffy, uniform, and symmetrical brows.
At The London Brow Company, our award-winning Brow Lamination Kit is used by professionals and trusted around the world. Whether you’re looking to add lamination to your treatment menu or want the best professional-grade system, this kit is your go-to.
What Is Brow Tinting?
Brow tinting uses a semi-permanent dye to colour the brow hairs (and sometimes the skin underneath) for a fuller, more defined look. It’s great for enhancing lighter hairs, filling in sparse areas, and creating a more polished appearance—especially if you prefer a low-maintenance routine.
Our Hybrid Brow Tint and Henna Brow Colour ranges are perfect for both salon and home use, offering intense colour that lasts up to 7–14 days on the skin and even longer on the hair
Key Differences Between Brow Lamination and Brow Tinting
| Feature | Brow Lamination | Brow Tinting |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Reshapes and sets brow hairs | Colours brow hairs and skin |
| Ideal For | Unruly, sparse, downward-growing brows | Light, patchy, or fine brows |
| Results Last | 6–8 weeks | 4–6 weeks (hair), 1–2 weeks (skin) |
| Skin Stain | No | Yes (with tint or henna) |
| Maintenance | Requires aftercare & nourishing | Low-maintenance |
Which Is Right for You?
-
Choose brow lamination if you want to lift, sculpt, and create a fuller shape without makeup. Perfect for those with curly, flat, or sparse brows.
-
Choose brow tinting if you’re looking for more definition and depth of colour, especially if you have fair or blonde brows.
Pro tip: Many clients love combining the two! Laminating first and then tinting gives a bold, lifted look with rich definition.
