Add Brow Lamination to Your Menu
Brow lamination softens the brow hairs so they can be brushed into a new direction, then sets them there. The result is fuller, more even brows that hold their shape for weeks. If you already lift lashes with Elleeplex Profusion or Brik & Pearl, you already own the lotions. This guide covers who the service suits, what to stock and how to get trained.
Who Brow Lamination Suits
Clients
Brow lamination is a good fit for clients with:
- Unruly or downward-growing brows
- Gaps where the hairs lie the wrong way
- A wish for a full, brushed-up, fluffy finish without daily gel
Clients usually come back every six to eight weeks, and brushing the brows into place each day keeps the shape looking its best in between.
Why salons add it
Brow lamination sits naturally next to a lash lift. The two can be done in the same appointment as one combo service, and a brow tint fits in after the lamination. If you use Profusion or Brik & Pearl for lashes, adding brows takes training and a few brow tools, not a second chemical system.
Which System Fits
Elleeplex Profusion
one set of lotions for lashes and brows
Elleeplex Profusion is built for lash and brow lamination from the same lotions. It's a vegan cysteamine system with no thioglycolate, with ReGen in the system. It still processes quickly, but more measured than One Shot. Most artists start with the Elleeplex Profusion Starter Kit and restock with Profusion Lash & Brow Lamination Refill Packs.
Brik & Pearl
bottles instead of sachets
Brik & Pearl is a three-step system that works on lashes and brows: Bond Flex, Bond Lock and Lash Life Volume Filler, with ReGen used alongside. It comes in 10ml airless pump bottles for studios that would rather dose from a bottle than open a sachet. Lash Life is a professional, treatment-room product with no take-home version.
Not One Shot
One Shot is a lash lift system only and isn't used on brows. See all three on Compare the Systems.
What You Need to Get Started
Lotions
Choose one system above: the Profusion Starter Kit, or the three Brik & Pearl bottles. Elleeplex ReGen is bond support that folds into the service.
Brow tools and disposables
- Brow Lamination Wrap, the clear film that holds the brow hairs in place
- Elleebana White Brow Pencil, for mapping the shape first
- Elleebana Wonder Wands, disposable spoolies for brushing the hairs into place
- Ellee-Brow Tweezer, for prep and cleanup
- Makeup Remover and Long Tipped Micro Brush Swabs for prep
No adhesive is needed. The hairs are brushed into position and held under the wrap.
Brow tint, if you want it
- Infinity Aqua Drops, a brow-only tint that works on its own or after a lamination
- Belmacil Tint, for lashes and brows
See Lash & Brow Tints for developers and kits.
Aftercare to retail
Elleefix Brow Styling Wax is the take-home made for laminated brows, so clients can brush them into place each day.
Training
Reading brow hair, mapping a shape and setting it evenly takes practice. Elleebana certification isn't required to buy the products, but we recommend it.
- Elleeplex Profusion training: online Profusion brow lamination training with two live Zoom sessions, the in-person Elleebana Brow Lamination Course, or the two-day in-person combined lash and brow lamination course
- Brik & Pearl training: the Lash & Brow Lab covers lash lifts and brow lamination
- Webinar: Brow Lamination, From Basics to Brilliance, a recorded deep dive with an Elleebana Master Trainer
We teach in-person classes in Santa Barbara, Reno and Nashville (Nashville with Taylor), and we can bring a course to your salon or school, with travel quoted separately. See hands-on courses, online courses and Education. Training requires a current cosmetology or esthetics license, or current enrollment in an esthetics program.
Who Can Buy
Lamination lotions and brow tints are sold to licensed cosmetologists and estheticians, and to students currently enrolled in an esthetics program. Brow tools and disposables, such as the wrap, pencil, spoolies and tweezer, are open to anyone, and so is Elleefix. See Who Can Buy.
Common Questions
- Can I use One Shot for brows?
- No. One Shot is for lashes only. Use Elleeplex Profusion or Brik & Pearl.
- Can I do a lash lift and a brow lamination in the same appointment?
- Yes. They can be done together as one combo service.
- Can I tint laminated brows?
- Yes. Tint is a separate step after the lamination, with Infinity Aqua Drops or Belmacil Tint. Henna isn't recommended after a brow lamination.
- What about a client who has reacted to a lamination before?
- Patch test first, and talk it through with your trainer before choosing a system.
