Eyebrow Shaping
$21
Eyebrow shaping is a professional brow service that removes stray hairs and defines the natural line of your brows so they frame your face. At The Beauty Nest in Calgary, we shape each brow to suit your features, leaving you with clean, balanced, natural-looking arches.
What Is Eyebrow Shaping?
Eyebrow shaping is a professional brow service that removes stray hairs and defines the natural line of your brows so they frame your face. Rather than following a trend, a good brow shape follows your natural hair growth and complements your face shape and features. We shape using threading, waxing or a combination of both, depending on your skin, your hair and the result you want.
What Is Included in Your Eyebrow Shaping?
-
A quick consultation about the look you want
-
An assessment of your natural arch, growth pattern and face shape
-
Shaping with threading, waxing or both
-
Clean-up of stray hairs around the brow
-
Aftercare tips to keep your skin calm and your shape lasting longer
Threading vs Waxing for Eyebrows
Both methods give clean, defined results.
-
Eyebrow threading is very precise. It works well for defining the brow line, removing fine hairs and creating a sharp shape, and it is a good option for sensitive skin.
-
Eyebrow waxing is quick and removes more hair at once, which makes it a great choice for thicker or faster-growing hair.
-
Both together is a popular option, using wax for speed and threading for detail.
Your brow specialist can recommend the best method for your skin and hair type.
How to Choose the Best Eyebrow Shape for Your Face
The best brow shape follows your natural hair growth and suits your face shape and features. During your appointment, we look at your natural arch, your bone structure and the spacing between your brows, then recommend a shape that flatters you.
-
Round faces often suit a defined, higher arch that adds structure.
-
Square faces often suit a softer, slightly rounded arch that softens strong angles.
-
Long faces often suit a flatter, straighter brow that adds width.
-
Heart-shaped faces often suit a soft, rounded brow with a gentle arch.
-
Oval faces suit most shapes, so you can choose based on the look you prefer.
These are only starting points. We always work with your natural growth, and for a more precise, measured result, ask about eyebrow mapping.
Eyebrow Shaping vs Eyebrow Mapping
Eyebrow shaping tidies and defines your brows by removing unwanted hair. Eyebrow mapping uses measurements to find the ideal start, arch and end point for your face, creating a more symmetrical design. Many clients combine the two for the most balanced result.
Add-Ons That Go Well With Eyebrow Shaping
-
Brow tinting adds depth and colour to light or sparse brows and makes the shape look more defined.
-
Brow mapping gives you a measured, symmetrical shape.
-
Brow lamination brushes your hairs into a fuller, fluffier, groomed position.
How Often Should You Get Your Eyebrows Shaped?
Most people get their brows shaped every 3 to 6 weeks, depending on how quickly their hair grows. Regular shaping helps you keep a clean, defined arch between appointments.
How to Prepare for Your Eyebrow Shaping Appointment
-
Avoid trimming or plucking your brows for a couple of weeks beforehand so your specialist has enough growth to create the best shape.
-
Come with clean skin and no heavy makeup on the brow area.
-
Bring photos of brow looks you like.
-
Let us know about any skin sensitivities, allergies or skincare products you use on your face, such as retinol or other strong actives.
Eyebrow Shaping Aftercare Tips
For the first 24 hours after your appointment:
-
Avoid heavy makeup on the brow area.
-
Avoid hot showers, saunas and swimming.
-
Avoid rubbing or picking at the skin.
-
Avoid strong skincare products on the area.
This helps prevent irritation, especially if you had waxing. Between appointments, you can tidy any stray hairs below the brow, but avoid reshaping the arch on your own so the shape stays balanced.
