If you're nervous about your first henna brow tint, don’t worry! One of our long-time clients noted, “Irina was amazing; she is very gentle and experienced, ” which sums up why we strive to create a welcoming atmosphere. We totally understand how trying something new can be daunting, and that’s exactly why we walk you through every detail of the process. You’ll get all the practical information you need to feel prepared and confident.
How to Prepare for Your Henna Brow Tint
To prepare for your first appointment, we recommend avoiding any topical products like retinol or exfoliants near the brow area for a week prior. This helps reduce sensitivities during the tinting process. Our client who got a henna tint said, "I’m super happy with the way they turned out!" This can set your expectations for a great outcome right from the start.
What Happens During Your Appointment
When you arrive, we’ll chat about the shape and shade you want. Then we’ll apply a gentle wax to clean up any stray hairs, which usually takes about 15 minutes. We often hear from clients that the process is comfortable and pleasant, with one saying that the atmosphere is "super clean and professional." After that, we’ll apply the henna, letting it set for about 20 minutes.
“I got so many compliments. Will definitely be back!”
We’ll check in with you throughout the session to ensure you’re comfortable. Clients often tell us they feel well cared for every step of the way.
Aftercare for Lasting Results
After your appointment, it’s essential to avoid getting your brows wet for 24 hours to ensure the henna sets nicely. You might notice some redness in the brow area initially, which is perfectly normal. One client shared, "The process was comfortable, gentle, and very professional, " emphasizing how at ease they felt. Henna can last anywhere from 3 to 6 weeks, depending on your skin’s natural oils and care routines.
