Who is a brow artist? What is a brow bar?
Today we devote more attention to eyebrows than we have ever done this before. We want them to be perfectly shaped and always look good. Luckily, a brow artist, who is a specialist working in a brow bar, can help us to achieve this elusive goal. What should you know about this profession?
Brow artist is a fairly new type of a specialist who has appeared in the realm of the beauty industry recently. Until now it was a beautician who performed all beauty treatments, even those connected with improving the appearance of eyebrows. This has changed and nowadays we can go to a professional beauty parlor that specializes in advanced brow care. In this place we can find a specialist – a highly qualified beautician – who knows how to style, define, reconstruct and nourish eyebrows.
Brow artist, who is it?!
Brow artist is a person who majors on brows. Her (in most cases it’s a woman) task is to do brow henna, take care of brows, reconstruct them and give advice on how to develop good brow care habits. Naturally, you can meet a brow artist in many beauty salons, however, nowadays more and more brow artists open their own brow bars, which are special salons offering only brow enhancing treatments.
What does a brow artist do?
Undoubtedly, if you arrange a meeting with a brow artist, you can be sure that you will leave the salon with on-fleek brows – the brow expert will take good care of your eyebrows. Not only will she bring out the beauty of the brows by applying special makeup techniques but she will also shape them and leave them conditioned.
You can expect a brow beautician to:
- find the most appropriate brow shape for you (brow mapping)
- choose the most suitable thickness, length and arch for your brows
- remove and trim the brow hair for clear definition
- carry out brow revitalizing treatments and give you personalized advice on brow care
- bring out the brow shape using henna
- perform brow reconstruction, providing that the brows are sparse
Visit at a brow stylist. What should you expect?
The first stage of the entire visit depends on interviewing a client. Brow artist must find out what the common problems with brows you have, she needs to assess condition of brows and learn your expectations. Only then she can take proper steps.
Before the treatment, she will take a picture of your eyebrows. This will help you spot the improvement once the brow enhancing treatment finishes.
The treatment itself begins with precise makeup removal, disinfection and freeing brows from other impurities. Then, special accessories like tweezers, brushes, rulers and other tools that aid in defining perfect eyebrow shape are put into motion. When all the unnecessary hair are removed and when brows are trimmed, the brow artist will apply henna to make the final effect even more dramatic.
Finally, you can expect the brow artist to give you some pieces of advice concerning brow care. Following them will help you enjoy the effects for longer.
Home vs. professional brow styling
Should we even bother to arrange an appointment with a brow artist and visit a professional brow bar? It depends on how demanding your brows are (e.g. are they sparse, thinning, fair?). However, if you don’t find your eyebrows troublesome, or when you are skillful enough to shape them at home, you shouldn’t consider paying a visit at a professional brow bar as a must.
Still, a brow artist is useful if your brows are unmanageable. Finally, it’s definitely a good idea to see a brow artist if you aren’t convinced what brow shape suits your face best.
