An eyebrow shaping is a 30-minute session that begins with a full consultation of your eyebrows. During the consultation, you will understand your eyebrows much better. You will know what areas will have grown (if any) to achieve the perfect brow shape for your face. Your brows will then be expertly shaped by safely removing all unwanted hairs from the brows. Once the brow shaping in complete, we will show you how to naturally fill in your eyebrows using an eyebrow product.

INDEED! Based on the bone structure, the eyebrows should start on the inside corner of the nose, up the bridge of the nose to the eyebrow. The tail (or end) of the eyebrow should line up to the outer crease of the nose, to the crease of the eye, to the eyebrow. The highest point of the eyebrow should line up with the ball of the nose, cut across the pupil of the eye, to the top of the eyebrow. This measurement is true to every face shape. 

It is very common that I meet women with over tweezed brows.  Whether they over tweezed their eyebrows themselves to achieve a look from a trend years ago or if they just had a bad experience in the past years. No matter what the cause of over wax/tweezed eyebrows, the best thing to do is to allow your brows to rest and GROW! You cannot achieve proper brow growth if: 

• 1: You are constantly "cleaning up your brows" yourself. 
• 2: You are continuously getting your eyebrows shaped incorrectly.

Most women do have healthy follicles but fail to see growth because the hairs that promote a fuller brow are mistaken for “strays” and are being removed. When it comes to brow growth, EVERY HAIR COUNTS!

There are also home remedies that can aid in brow growth. One of the best home remedies is to use castor oil, or a serum recommended by a specialist. Simply apply a dime size to clean brows every morning and night. These products can and will grow hair. 

As your brows are growing, make sure you invest in the proper brow products/makeup to fill in your eyebrows properly and naturally. If you’re not sure how to achieve a natural eyebrow fill in, book an appointment and we will show you how!

Unfortunately, yes. As we age, our hair follicles can become less active and even dormant. This can cause the brow hairs to grow in thinner, slower, or not at all. Health conditions, such as hypothyroidism or even hyperthyroidism can cause the tails (or end) of your eyebrows to diminish. When hormones and particular health conditions affect our eyebrows, there honestly isn’t too much we can do. Sometimes you can start a treatment with castor oil or brow serum and that can be discussed during your consultation. But it is extremely important that your brows are being shaped properly from this point on to prevent any over waxing/tweezing.  Learning how to fill in your brows properly and maintaining a healthy diet will surely help as well.

Healthy eyebrows grow in a cycle that takes about 21-30 days to complete. At the end of this cycle, any hairs that have been removed from the hair follicle should begin to appear on the surface of the skin. Therefore, most women should get their brows done every 3-4 weeks.

Unfortunately, there is no science, formula or guarantee that can tell you whether you will or you won’t lose your hair during chemotherapy, therefore, it is always a good idea to be prepared if you do. If you have not started your treatment, book an appointment to see me NOW! The urgency is because you still have eyebrows, and you can look in the mirror and see what they look like.  I’ve had many clients who came in to see me AFTER they’ve lost all their brows, and the first thing they say is “I forgot what they used to look like!” One of the struggles in filling in the brows after chemotherapy is that there is not a shape to follow. Another issue is drawing on the brows without making them look “fake”.
At Flory Radu brows & beauty clients can book a 30 minute “Chemo Brow Session”. During the session I analyse your brows to see where they are now, similar to a typical eyebrow consultation. Typically, I do not “shape” the brows during this session. Instead, I give you a hands-on lesson on how to fill your brows in and/or how to “create” a brow if you do not have one to begin with. I then guide you on what products to use prior to chemo, during chemo and post chemo. If you feel you need a “refresher course” anytime during your chemotherapy process, it’s complimentary! Just book an appointment to schedule your visit.
