Brow lamination is a styling treatment that relaxes and resets your brow hairs so they can be brushed into a fuller, smoother, lifted shape. Your artist uses gentle solutions to soften the hair, guide it where you want it, and set it in place so your brows look naturally more structured and even.

After lamination, your brows look fluffier, smoother, and naturally lifted. The kind of fuller, fluffier brows people love. Brow lamination results are soft yet defined, giving your face a brighter, more open look. Lamination helps unruly or downward-growing hairs sit in a clean, face-framing shape. You can brush them fluffy for a bold look or style them softer for everyday wear.

Brow lamination typically lasts four to five weeks, depending on your hair growth cycle and aftercare. As new brow hairs grow in, the laminated ones gradually relax, so results soften over time.

You can choose brow lamination alone or add threading and tinting for more definition. Pricing at The Brow Lab Somerville includes:

• Brow Lamination Only: $67 cash / $75 card

If you book a package that includes threading, yes. Lamination lifts and smooths the hairs, while threading shapes the brow outline, cleaning up stray hairs, and creating a polished, defined frame.

Tint is optional, but it can make a big difference. Lamination controls texture; tint adds color, making the brows look fuller. Tinting is especially helpful if you have hair that is naturally lighter or darker in some areas. It helps even everything out for a balanced brow.

Brow lamination temporarily softens the hair’s bonds, allowing the brows to be reshaped. Henna coats and stains the hair — and sometimes the skin — very strongly. Doing both in the same appointment can:

• over-process the hairs

• cause dryness or breakage

• create a patchy or uneven color

• lead to unpredictable results

For your brow health and consistent color, we never combine lamination and henna on the same day. If you love both looks, your artist can guide you on safe timing between services.

Yes, when done correctly and spaced out properly. At The Brow Lab, we use gentle professional formulas and adjust processing time based on your hair type. If you have sensitive skin, allergies, eczema, psoriasis, or irritated skin around the brows, tell your artist so they can advise you.

If you want a semi-permanent brow shaping solution that keeps your brows looking full and lifted with minimal effort, brow lamination is a great choice.

It’s perfect if you have:

• Brows that grow in different directions

• Brows that fall flat or downward

• Sparse brows that need a fuller look

• A love for fluffy, brushed-up, editorial-style brows

If your brows are extremely thin with very little hair, lamination may have subtle results — your artist can guide you.

Skip or postpone if you:

• Have broken or irritated skin around the brows

• Recently waxed the brows

• Recently had strong chemical peels near the brow area

• Use strong retinoids on the brow bone

• Had allergic reactions to perming or lamination products
  Your artist can always evaluate during a consultation.

Come with clean skin and no brow makeup. Avoid oils, balms, or heavy creams on the brows the day of the service. Pausing retinoids or potent actives around the brow area for a few days helps avoid irritation. Do not wax right before lamination.

For the first twenty-four hours, keep your brows completely dry. Avoid steam, steamy showers, sweating, brow makeup, oils, or sleeping directly on your brows.
After the first day, you can brush them into place daily and keep them nourished with the conditioner included in your free aftercare kit. This helps maintain softness, shine, and long-lasting lift.

Most clients laminate their brows every six to eight weeks, which aligns with the natural brow growth cycle. This timing prevents overprocessing and keeps the hair healthy while maintaining consistent results.

No bestie — unless you want them to. Those bold, brushed-up Instagram brows are just one styling option. At The Brow Lab, your artist customizes your lamination to your vibe, whether you prefer soft and natural or fluffy and editorial.
