Step two: Brow Style is applied to the brows. This cream creates a chemical process that breaks down the bonds in each hair, allowing them to be manipulated into a new shape. Solution is left on the brows for a predetermined time depending on the condition of the hair.
Step three: Brow Set is applied the brows. This solution sets the hair in its new position. Solution is left on the brows for a predetermined time depending on the condition of the hair.
Step four: Optional Tinting. Brows can be tinted to add colour to the brows and to enhance the results of the treatment.
Step five: All traces of the products above are removed from the brows, then Brow Nourish (a specially developed brow serum with keratin) is applied to the brows to hydrate and condition the hair.
Step six: The brows are brushed into their desired position - this position is adjustable depending on the look you would like to achieve. Brows can be brushed up or brushed into a more natural shape.
