All about Eyebrow Lamination
Eyebrow lamination is the trend for the past 2 years and we hope it’s here to stay. The procedure is all about creating smooth & fuller eyebrows, that can be styled whichever way you desire and that gives a look of higher density hair. Lamination services usually include eyebrow shape and design, making it all-inclusive.
Unlike cosmetic tattoos, this is a semi-permanent procedure that lasts between 6-8 weeks and does not require any needles or blades. There is also no down-time healing process due to no trauma being caused to the skin.
Benefits of Eyebrow Lamination:

The process of Eyebrow lamination
Even though the process has a similar base as a “perm“, different professional products will result in a diversity of processes. At WOAD Studio we use Thuya, a dedicated eyebrow company made with love in Barcelona, Spain. Thuya’s approach to lamination is a precise, but gentle one. Here is what the procedure looks like:
First we do an allergy/ irritant patch test on the arm,
Then the area is cleaned to make sure there is no makeup or oils.
A protectant cream is apply 1/4 inch of your eyebrow to make sure the skin in protected
Next Thuya Gel Permanente will be applied to the eyebrow and timed based on hair type and thickness.
While waiting for the solution to mellow the keratin in the hair, we brush the eyebrows at timed intervals to direct the hair at the client’s desired angle.
Once this part of the process is done, Thuya Neutralizer Cream is applied and occluded. During this time we offer an aromatherapy temple and head massage.
After removing the neutralizer we can focus on on the design. This includes trimming, waxing or tweezing the eyebrows.
With Thuya you get also get your eyebrows tinted at the end of the Lamination process, though tinting is not possible with all other lamination products.
The last step is a nourishing regenerating cream to prevent skin dryness or irritation.
Overall the process is 1 hour long, depending on the technician. The procedure is not recommended at home with non-dedicated/professional products (regular perm)or sooner than 6 weeks in between. You might risk dryness, chemical burns and damage to your eyebrows. Another serious risk with non-professional procedures is eye damage.
If you are looking for long-lasting results to keep your eyebrows thicker, fuller and the hair on point, Lamination is definitely for you.
