Brows that stay where you put them
Brow lamination is a perm for your brows. A lifting solution softens the bond inside each hair, the hairs are combed into the direction you want them to grow, and a second solution sets them there. The whole thing takes about forty-five minutes and holds for six to eight weeks.
What it fixes is direction. Most brows are not thin — they are flat, or growing sideways, or the hairs at the front point downward and hide the ones behind them. Lift those hairs upward and the same brow suddenly covers twice the area. It fills gaps using hair you already have, which is the part people do not expect.
Adding a tint darkens every hair, including the fine, near-invisible ones at the tail and along the top edge. Those hairs are what makes a brow look like it has an outline. Tinting them is usually the difference between still reaching for a pencil and not bothering.

Brow Waxing
Brows mapped to your face, then waxed and tidied into a clean shape. Twenty minutes, and the easiest thing to add onto the end of a lash appointment.
J$1,500 · 20 minBrow Lamination
Your own hairs lifted, set upward and brushed into place, so they stay full and fluffy for weeks instead of minutes. Best on flat or unruly brows.
J$6,000 · 45 minLamination & Tint
Lamination plus a tint, so every hair — including the fine ones at the edges — is darkened and counted. The fullest, most defined brow on the menu.
J$8,000 · 60 minThe first 24 hours matter most
- Keep them completely dry for 24 hours. No water, no steam, no sweat, no shower spray on the face. The set is still hardening.
- Do not touch or brush them for the first day — the hairs will hold whatever direction they are pushed into while they are setting.
- Brush them upward daily after that, with the spoolie you are given. Thirty seconds in the morning is the whole maintenance routine.
- A drop of oil at night keeps them conditioned. Castor or a light facial oil, brushed through — lamination is a chemical process and the hair likes the help.
- Rebook at six to eight weeks. Sooner than six is hard on the hair; much later and they will have grown out of the set.

Questions people ask
How long does brow lamination last?
Six to eight weeks, which is roughly a full brow-hair growth cycle. As the hairs grow out, the set grows out with them. Rebooking sooner than six weeks is not recommended — the hair needs the recovery time.
What is the difference between lamination and lamination with tint?
Lamination changes the direction of your brow hairs; tint changes their colour. Lamination alone lifts and fills the shape, but the very fine hairs at the tail stay invisible. Tinting them is what gives the brow a defined outline and usually means you can stop using a pencil.
Does brow lamination work on thin brows?
It works better than most people expect, because lifting flat hairs upward makes them cover far more area. What it cannot do is create hair that is not there — if there is a bare patch with no follicles, lamination will not fill it. Adding the tint helps considerably.
Is brow lamination safe?
It is a chemical process, so it is not done on broken or irritated skin, during a known reaction to lifting solutions, or on brows that have been laminated within the last six weeks. Tell the studio before booking if you use retinol or acids near the brow, or have had a reaction to a perm or lash lift in the past.
How much is brow lamination in Jamaica?
At Novalashethix in Portmore, lamination is J$6,000, lamination with a tint is J$8,000, and brow waxing on its own is J$1,500.
