Tailored Advanced Techniques
Advanced Styling Techniques
Objective:
How to create tailored, on-trend brow styles such as fluffy and sleek brows by mastering finishing techniques, brushing, and tinting. This section focuses on combining creativity with precision to meet individual client preferences.
The Importance of Tailoring Brow Styles
Key Point: Not every client wants the same brow look. Understanding how to adjust the lamination finish - from bold and fluffy to sleek and structured - allows you to offer a truly customised experience. This enhances client satisfaction and positions you as a versatile, advanced brow artist.
Client Consultation for Styling
Always ask:
- “Do you prefer a more natural or defined brow look?”
- “Are you going for something fluffy and relaxed or sculpted and polished?”
- “Do you usually wear makeup on your brows?”
Understanding client preferences ensures that styling aligns with their lifestyle and personal style. A student should never assume a trend suits everyone, brow styling is personal.
Customising for Asymmetry or Sparse Areas
Advanced brow artists know how to:
- Use brushing direction to even out asymmetry.
- Apply tint in targeted areas to fill gaps without making the brow look heavy.
- Use subtle makeup techniques (like brow pens or pomades) to enhance fullness post-lamination.
Pro Tip: Demonstrate how to step back and assess brows from a client’s point of view, not just from above the face.
Final Takeaway:
- Advanced styling isn’t just about trends - it’s about enhancing the natural brow to match each client’s features, preferences, and style. Mastering fluffy and sleek styles will allow students to offer a versatile service menu that caters to all clients - from minimalists to bold-brow lovers.
- You can also create your own “Style Selector” - a visual guide with labelled images such as “Fluffy & Natural”, “Defined & Structured”, or “Bold & Sleek”. This helps clients clearly communicate their desired look, especially if they’re unsure how to describe it. Sometimes, seeing options visually makes the consultation smoother and more confident for both of you.
- Be sure to explain that brows are unique to each individual - differences in natural thickness, hair density, and growth patterns mean the end result may not look exactly like the photo. Let them know that you’ll tailor the style to suit their features and do your absolute best to achieve the look they’re aiming for.
- At the end of the day, you’re a brow artist, not a magician - but with your skill and eye for detail, they’ll still walk away loving the final result
