Will shape and color work for me?
Most clients come to me concerned about the shape and color they will walk out with. Most clients believe they will all get the same shape and color. Some are afraid of getting “angry” or “b**ch” eyebrows! I was trained to measure and map out each individual’s face according to their face’s morphology and symmetry. I use a variety of different tools and methods in order to achieve the desired brow shape. First I measure with a PHI Compass which uses the golden ratio. Then I line using string method. The string allows me to create straight lines. I also use a couple different rules to triple and quadruple check. It is better to be extra safe than to have asymmetrical brows! This process can actually take a long time in order to make sure we have the desired shape. Before I start the actual procedure I will have you approve of the shape.
Then comes the color. I have a wide range of colors from light to dark, cool to warm. Sometimes it is as easy as using a premixed pigment and sometimes adjustments will be made by mixing a couple of of different colors. I use a color closest to your natural hair and complimentary to your skin tone. If we do Blade & Shade or combo brows I will use a shade lighter for the shading in order for the hair strokes to show. You will be left with a soft powder makeup effect underneath.
I am here to make you happy so don’t be afraid of asking me to change your brow change 10 different times before you approve of one. My goal is to make sure you walk out of my salon confident in you brows!
