Brow tinting is a semi-permanent cosmetic treatment that enhances the color, shape, and thickness of your eyebrows using specially formulated dye. A trained technician matches a tint shade to your natural hair and skin tone, then carefully applies it to your brow hairs. The result is fuller-looking, more defined brows that frame your face — without daily makeup.

Typically, brow tinting lasts about 3–6 weeks, depending on your hair growth cycle, skin type, and how often you cleanse or exfoliate the brow area. Over time, the tint gradually fades as brow hairs naturally shed. Many people choose to rebook every 4–6 weeks to maintain a polished, defined look.

When done by a licensed esthetician or trained brow specialist using high-quality, semi-permanent dyes designed for facial use, brow tinting is generally safe and gentle. A patch test is usually recommended 24–48 hours beforehand to check for allergies or sensitivities. It’s important to avoid DIY tinting kits, as improper application or harsh chemicals can irritate the skin or eyes.

No — when performed correctly with professional-grade products, brow tinting does not damage your natural brow hairs. In fact, it can help brows appear fuller without daily pencil filling, which reduces tugging or overplucking. To protect brow health, always follow aftercare instructions and see a trusted brow professional for touch-ups.

Before your appointment, arrive with clean brows — avoid using oils, makeup, or skincare on the brow area. If it’s your first time, ask for a patch test. After tinting, avoid scrubbing, exfoliating, or using oil-based cleansers around your brows for at least 24–48 hours to help the tint set properly. Daily sunscreen on the brow area can also help prolong your results.
