I didn’t fully appreciate how important eyebrows are to your appearance until after I’d had the HD Eyebrow Treatment.
I mean, I knew they made a difference but I didn’t realise how they totally alter the shape of your face.
I’d always tweezed my eyebrows myself (over-tweezed in some cases) and I’d had the occasional eyebrow wax and threading done, but nothing made as drastic difference as the HD treatment.
I’ve been having this treatment done since January 2012 and have religiously gone back every 3-4 weeks as I love the look of my eyebrows perfectly groomed and defined, and I couldn’t not have them done now!
The HD Treatment consists of 7 steps to achieve the finished look. The steps are:
1) Consultation/Assessment – This is where the beautician will determine what shape brow will best suit your face shape, the shade that will suit your hair/skin colour best and ascertain what sort of look you’re hoping to get (e.g. dramatic, natural etc.)
2) Tinting – After the initial consultation, the beautician will then apply the tint to your brows.
3) Waxing – This step gets rid of the majority of unwanted hair.
4) Trimming – This is only necessary of you have longer eyebrows, and the beautician will just trim them slightly to make them appear neater.
5) Threading – This gives the sharp definition associated with HD Brows and I personally think one of the most vital steps in the treatment. (I personally think this hurts a bit – but it’s so worth it!)
6) Tweezing – This step is just to remove any of the unwanted hairs that the waxing and threading didn’t remove.
7) Completion – Finally they can be filled in with makeup and combed/set into place
The treatment itself takes between 45 minutes to an hour dependent upon the amount of work required on the brows.
My treatments tend to take about 45 minutes now that I’m going back every few weeks and I can honestly say that my eyebrows get better with each treatment I have.
Because my brows were initially shaped and any areas that were sparse were filled in with makeup, my eyebrow hair has grown into the shape the beautician has created.
They definitely create a more flattering frame for my face and really open up your eyes.
Unfortunately, I didn’t take a ‘before shot’ before my first treatment so I can’t do a before and after comparison.
So, you’re going to have to take my word for it that my eyebrows were quite a few shades lighter than my hair colour, sparse in some places, no definition and they didn’t match! Yes, I know! Wonky brows – the shame! They both had a completely different shape and thickness to them and they weren’t quite level!
I can laugh about this now as they look much better but take my advice; don’t try to tackle your brows yourself, go to a professional.
Anyway here’s a shot of my brows after HD Brow treatment
You can also by eyebrow palettes from HD Brows, to maintain the look at home, as obviously the tint will fade after a few weeks and you may want to go over them with the powder to keep them looking dark.
There are 3 palettes to choose from; Foxy, Vamp and Bombshell, depending on what colour hair you have. They cost £19.96 each and you can check these out here: http://shop.nouveaubeautygroup.com/eye-brow-palette-1/
Just as a side note, I was told not to tweeze my brows in between appointments as you could interfere with the shape the beautician is trying to get your brows to grow into, so since I’ve been having HD treatments, my tweezerman has been out of bounds!
To be honest, I haven’t needed to tweeze anything anyway as they’ve stayed pretty much perfect looking until the next time I go!
