Brow lamination
Hairs are relaxed and reset upwards, so a brow that grows in several directions sits in one.
- Best on sparse, unruly or downward-growing brows
- Lasts around six to eight weeks
- Usually paired with a tint
Brows, lashes & nails
The upkeep, done properly
Lorran looks after this side of the studio. It is the work most people come back for every few weeks, and the reason everything else still looks right months later.
Brows
Mapped first, then shaped
Brows get measured and mapped before anything is removed or set. Faces are not symmetrical and neither are brows, so the shape is built around what you have rather than a template laid over the top of it.
What suits you depends on how much brow you are working with. Lamination is transformative on sparse or unruly brows and unnecessary on brows that already sit well, which is worth saying before you book it.
Brow tinting
Colour through the hair and, where it helps, a light tint on the skin beneath to fill gaps.
- Adds depth without adding shape
- Lasts around two to four weeks
- Patch test required beforehand
Shaping
Waxed and tidied to the mapped shape. Conservative by default, because you can always take more off.
- Mapped to your bone structure
- Every four to six weeks
- Grows out evenly rather than patchily
Brow results
On the day, and once it settles
Freshly laminated brows sit bolder and more brushed-up than they will in a week. Both stages are shown here and each image says which it is.
Nails
BIAB, and everything on top of it
Builder gel gives a natural nail something to grow under, which is the point of it. If your nails split or peel before they get anywhere, BIAB is usually the answer rather than extensions.
Art is done by hand at the appointment. Bring a picture if you have one, or come with a colour and a vague idea and it gets worked out in the chair.
Also at the studio
Lashes, tanning and waxing
The rest of the everyday work, booked through the same system and usually alongside something else.
Lash lifts and tinting
Your own lashes, curled from the root and darkened. No extensions, no infills, nothing to maintain.
- Lasts around six to eight weeks
- Patch test required beforehand
- Works on shorter lashes than most people expect
Spray tanning
Applied and matched to your skin tone rather than one shade for everyone.
- Book two days before an event, not the night before
- Exfoliate beforehand, moisturise after
- Wear something loose to leave in
Waxing
Straightforward, quick and without commentary. Facial and body waxing both available.
- Every four to six weeks keeps it comfortable
- Avoid retinol on the area beforehand
- No sunbeds or hot baths for 24 hours after
Every few weeks
Book your next appointment
Brows, lashes and nails all run on their own cycle. Booking the next one before you leave is the easiest way to stay on top of it.
