One of the most common client questions:
“Can I have my brows tinted while I’m pregnant or breastfeeding?”
Here’s everything you need to know to answer confidently and protect your clients.
Is Hybrid Dye Safe During Pregnancy?
Our London Brow Hybrid Dye is formulated to be gentle, vegan, and free from harsh chemicals like ammonia but that doesn’t automatically make it pregnancy-safe for all clients.
Why? Because during pregnancy:
-
The immune system can be more sensitive
-
Hormonal changes can increase the risk of allergic reactions
-
Skin may be more reactive
So while the ingredients are gentle, you should always advise caution.
What About Breastfeeding Clients?
Generally, if a client has already patch tested with no reaction and is not pregnant anymore, tinting during breastfeeding is considered lower risk.
However, always patch test again, even if they’ve had the treatment before. Hormones can still cause unpredictable skin responses postpartum.
What You Should Do As a Pro
-
Always Patch Test: Even if they’re a regular client.
-
Get Written Consent: Make sure you’ve documented their pregnancy status and that they understand the potential risks.
-
Use the Gentlest Products: Avoid combining tint with lamination during pregnancy. Stick to one treatment at a time.
-
Offer Alternatives: If unsure, reschedule or offer a non-tint shaping treatment instead.
🧡 Pro Tip from Leigh:
You’re not just offering a treatment, you’re building trust. Clients will remember your professionalism and honesty more than a temporary brow result.
