Brow Henna and Design

Brow henna is a natural, plant-based tinting treatment designed to enhance and define your eyebrows by staining both the brow hairs and the skin beneath. Unlike traditional eyebrow tinting that only colours the hairs, brow henna offers a soft shading effect on the skin, giving the illusion of fuller, more sculpted brows — almost like you’ve already filled them in with makeup.

Henna is derived from the Lawsonia inermis plant and is free from ammonia or peroxide, making it a gentle option for most skin types. During the treatment, the henna paste is applied in your desired brow shape and left to process. Once removed, you’ll see a makeup-like finish with the skin subtly tinted beneath the brow hairs, which helps fill in sparse or patchy areas.

The colour on the brow hairs lasts up to 4–6 weeks, gradually fading over time. The stain on the skin typically lasts 5–10 days, depending on your skin type and skincare routine.

Brow henna is an excellent choice for anyone who:

• Wants defined, filled-in brows without applying makeup daily
• Isn’t ready to commit to semi-permanent treatments like microblading
• Has sparse or uneven brows and wants to create a fuller look
• Prefers a natural, low-maintenance alternative to brow pencils or pomade.

Brow design is the art and science of creating balanced, flattering eyebrows using facial symmetry principles and expert shaping techniques. Unlike a basic brow wax or tweeze, brow design involves:

• Facial Symmetry Analysis: The technician studies your unique bone structure and natural brow growth to determine the most flattering shape for your face.

• Customized Mapping: Using specific measurements and markings, your brows can be mapped out to ensure balance, proportion, and symmetry—enhancing your eyes and facial features.

• Shaping Techniques: A well-designed brow can dramatically improve overall facial harmony and give you a more polished, lifted appearance.

Brow Henna can be a standalone service or a perfect add-on to regular brow waxing, as these clients are already seeking brow definition and enhancement. Offering Brow Henna gives them the option to enhance fullness, definition, and colour that lasts longer than traditional tinting. It’s an easy upgrade that adds value to their visit and keeps their brows looking polished between appointments.

They’re already here for great brows—why not offer the option of making them even better?

In today’s fast-paced world, clients appreciate the convenience of combining complementary services in a single appointment—it saves time and increases the overall value of their visit. For beauty professionals, it’s also an effective way to increase service totals and client satisfaction. A true win-win.

While both henna and tinting enhance the look of your brows by adding colour, there are key differences in how they work and how long they last:

• Tinting is a semi-permanent option that primarily dyes the brow hairs. It lasts approximately 2–4 weeks on the hair. Because a developer is required to oxidize the colour, any staining on the skin is minimal and typically fades within 24 hours. Tinting is ideal for enhancing brow hair colour but does not leave a lasting stain on the skin, which limits its ability to create a filled-in, makeup-like look.

• Henna, on the other hand, offers a more long-lasting and versatile solution. It stains both the skin and the hair, creating a ‘powdery’, filled-in effect. The stain can last up to 10 days on the skin and up to 6 weeks on the brow hairs, depending on skin type and aftercare. 

Henna is often the go-to choice for clients wanting a more sculpted or makeup-like finish without the commitment of semi-permanent brow treatments.

Micropigmentation Courses

If you and your clients are already interested in brow enhancement, this is a natural next step. Once clients experience the definition and fullness of Henna Brows (and time it saves them daily), many start asking about longer-lasting options—making semi-permanent brow services the next logical offering. This course is a great add-on for anyone focused on the cosmetic side of beauty. 

It is ideal for building a well-rounded skill set in precision-based services such as microblading, lip blush, or microshading—all of which deliver lasting, visible results that clients love.

Brow Lamination 

Brow lamination is another great addition and is available online. This treatment is ideal for clients with downward-curling brow hairs or those who want to enhance volume—by lifting and setting the hairs upward, it creates a fuller, more uniform look.

Threading

Love brows? Threading is a perfect skill to add. It’s a precise, natural method of hair removal that appeals to clients who prefer gentler, non-wax options—especially those with sensitive skin. Many clients who love the clean results of threading also become loyal, repeat visitors.

Cosmetic Teeth Whitening

A skill that fits seamlessly into your beauty professional’s toolkit. Quick to learn and in high demand, it’s an easy way to boost your service offerings and income potential—especially for those working in medi spas, salons, or mobile beauty businesses.

Dermaplaning

If you’re already drawn to brow service courses, adding dermaplaning is a smart way to round out your offerings. Clients coming in for brow shaping or tinting often care about the overall appearance and texture of their skin—dermaplaning delivers that smooth, glowing finish they’re after. Plus, it’s quick to learn and fits seamlessly into any beauty career focused on visible, confidence-boosting results. Our DermaplanePro courses are also available online or in person in most major Canadian cities.
