How long will a lash lift last?

Lash lifts are permanent for the full natural lash shedding cycle which is typically 6-8 weeks. Your lashes will look their most dramatic during the first 4 weeks, but it is important to wait until your full lash cycle is over before having another lift. To keep your eyelashes looking amazing, we recommend getting another lash tint half way through the life of your lash lift.

Why is my lash lift not as dramatic as I thought it would be?

Our Beauty Therapists aim to deliver the best result possible at your first lash lift appointment, however, as we do not know how your lashes will respond to the lifting solutions, every first-time lash lift client has a maximum amount of time the solution can be left on the lashes. This is to ensure your lashes stay strong and healthy.nnAt your next visit we can establish a more tailored curl and lift to get the best results possible. The feedback you give regarding the lift and curl e.g. more of a lift, more curl or less curl helps us tailor your treatment to better suit your style preference.

Essential Beauty Eyebrow Waxing Shapes

What is our 4-Zone brow shaping consultation?

Our brow waxing appointments are focused appointments where your Beauty Therapist will discuss your eyebrow shape questions, goals, personal preferences and hopes for your ideal brow shape.

After discussing the Head of the Brow, Outer Arch, Inner Arch and Tail, your Beauty Therapist will begin waxing your eyebrows and may recommend adding a tint to fill in any gaps or lighter hairs. It may take a number of appointments to achieve your ultimate eyebrow goals, your Therapist will work with you and help you plan where you need to try to grow hair, remove hairs or tint hairs.

Which brow shape is right for your face?

Have you ever wondered why it’s so hard to get both of your eyebrows to look the same? Here is the news, faces are not symmetrical.

There are a number of things that can affect the symmetry of your eyebrows:

Bone structure
Position of your temples
Muscle tone
How you sleep
Hair growth direction

You might have an eyebrow shape that you prefer, such as rounded, flat or arched, but the only way to achieve your best shape is to book in for a 4-Zone Brow Shape Wax at Essential Beauty.

Sensitive hot wax for eyebrow waxing

If you have sensitive skin that is prone to redness, or if you will be shopping or going back to work for the rest of the day, ask your beauty therapist for Sensitive Hot Wax or prebook with hot wax online.

Sensitive Hot Wax is great for facial waxing as the unique formula can grip the small hairs on the brows while also helping to exfoliate dead skin cells for better makeup application and better absorption of skincare into deeper layers of the skin. Our Sensitive Hot Wax is much more gentle than other hair removal methods like threading, and it’s fast!

Achieve even better brow results with tinting

Adding on a brow tint to your eyebrow waxing appointment can also help achieve better brow definition and fullness. Your brow tint will attach to the fine vellus hairs and lighter hairs in the brow creating full looking, bold brows and will help disguise any gaps in the brow. Eyebrow tinting can help disguise over-plucked, sparse or thinning brows.

Our eyebrow tints come in many different colours – so don’t worry about them being too dark! Tinting isn’t only about changing the colour, you can improve the shape and arch of the eyebrows. The top of the arch can be lifted by tinting the lighter hairs at the top of the brows. The tail of your brows can also be better defined and lengthened, giving an overall better shape. Once the eyebrows are tinted, the very fine lighter hairs show up. This is what gives the whole eyebrow a fuller look.

Eyebrow tinting lasts 2-3 weeks depending on the colour used. Darker colour tints generally last longer. Your tint will fade away naturally until you get your next tint.

Will face waxing make me break out?

When you get a wax, some of your skin on the surface gets removed, meaning your pores are left exposed. This is why some people are prone to breakouts and pimples. Therefore, it is important to not touch your face after face waxing. Keep your skin clean and free of any bacteria that can enter your open pores. Following our recommended waxing preparation and aftercare will help keep your skin silky smooth and bump free!

Should I tint my eyebrows if my hairs are already dark?

Tinting can also help improve the shape and arch of the eyebrows. The top of the arch can be lifted by tinting the lighter hairs at the top of the brows. The tail of your brows can also be better defined and lengthened, giving an overall better shape. Once the eyebrows are tinted, the very fine lighter hairs show up. This gives the whole eyebrow a fuller look.

What are the benefits of face waxing?

Face waxing leaves your skin silky and smooth for 2-3 weeks! By removing thick, stubborn growth and all the fine vellus hairs, it makes the perfect blank canvas for makeup. Waxing also removes all hairs from the root, causing the hair follicles to weaken over time, which eventually leads to less growth! Facial waxing also assists in the absorption of skincare, as no product is left on the surface surrounding the hairs.

What is Henna Brow tinting?

Natural henna brow colour is a form of eyebrow tinting that is used to stain the skin beneath the brow hairs. The purpose of this is to cast a shadow or create an illusion of depth and fullness in the area, visually filling in any sparseness. Henna can last anywhere from 4 days to 3 weeks on the skin. The length of time henna tinting lasts differs from person to person, and is dependent on how your skin reacts to the dye.

Henna works by coating the hairs, creating the look of thicker hair. Whereas, traditional tint makes the hair darker by breaking down the hair and penetrating colour in the hair follicles. Henna is an excellent option for over-plucked or sparse brows, or for anyone wanting full and even brows, as it temporarily stains the skin underneath the brow.

Why choose waxing over other hair removal methods?

Waxing is a safe and efficient way to remove all the hairs you can see, and the fine hairs you can’t see! Waxing is suitable for all hair colours, thicknesses and skin types, making it suitable for everyone. Our Beauty Therapists are highly trained and experienced, and will always ensure your Salon experience is an enjoyable one. Waxing also offers smooth skin with long lasting results. Your hair will grow back finer, which means that there is no irritation, itchiness or prickliness like you experience after shaving.
