Brows & Lashes

Because the point is not having to do anything. Your own lashes are curled from the root and tinted, so they read as open and dark on their own, first thing in the morning and last thing at night. It shows most on holiday: you can swim, come out of the water, and your lashes look the same as when you went in. Nothing smudges under sunscreen, nothing runs after the sea, and there is no mascara to reapply on a beach. On an ordinary week the difference is simply that the two minutes you spend on lashes every morning stop being necessary. And if you do choose to spend them anyway, mascara on lifted lashes is a different thing altogether: it lands on lashes that are already open and standing up, so the same coat reads far bigger than it would on flat ones. Most people keep it for the nights out and go bare the rest of the time.

A lash lift holds around six to ten weeks, and laminated brows sit on a similar rhythm. That interval is a large part of why people keep it up: something you book every couple of months is easy to find room for, while one you need every week or two quietly falls off the calendar. Coming more often does not make the result better. Lashes shed and regrow on their own cycle, and leaving that cycle alone between appointments is what keeps them in good condition. A tint fades sooner than a lift, which is why it is often refreshed on its own in between. Most clients across Melbourne settle into a rhythm of every couple of months and stop thinking about it.

Both colour the hair and the skin underneath it, and both fill in sparse areas, so the choice is not one against the other. Each simply has its own character: how long it holds, how soft or how defined the edge reads, and how it takes on your particular skin. That last part is why it is decided at the appointment rather than in advance, once I have seen your skin and your hair. Brow lamination is a separate decision again. Its main job is how the hairs sit, but it does touch colour as well: the process can lift the hairs a shade lighter, which is exactly why a tint is done in the same appointment rather than sold as an extra.

Anywhere along that range, and both ends hold. A soft finish stays quiet but not invisible: the brows look groomed and even, gaps are filled and the shape is cleaner, so you look rested rather than made up. A bold finish goes the other way, a defined brow with a clear outline that carries the whole face. It helps to say in plain words which way you lean, and the treatment follows from that.

Yes. Mondays and Tuesdays are the easiest, because on those days I do not charge for travel at all, and other days work too, with travel worked out by distance. The mobile prices are the same whichever day it is, there is simply nothing added on top for the drive on a Monday or a Tuesday. A visit usually adds up to three services, and that can be three people having one thing each, or one person having three at once. On brow lamination and lash lifts two are enough: brow lamination with a lash tint, a lash lift with a brow tint, a wax added to either, any combination counts. Tell me your area and what you want when you write, and we settle the rest between us. Single services are cheapest at the studio.
