Brows
Brow mapping and shaping
A shape drawn on your face first with a pencil and a ruler, then shaped with wax or tweezers.
Hemant measures from your face, not from a template, and draws the line where the brow should start, arch and end. You look in the mirror, and he changes the drawing until you say yes. Only then does he remove a single hair. Tint and lamination can follow in the same visit.

Two questions about brows
What if I don't like the drawing?
Say so. Hemant changes it, or starts the drawing again, until you like it. Nothing is removed before that.
Can I add a tint or a lamination?
Yes, to any visit. A tint comes with a patch test first, and Hemant will tell you if he can't offer it that day.
