What the term means.
Waxing is a shaping step. It changes which hairs remain around the agreed design, whereas tint changes visible colour and lamination helps reposition the existing hairs. A combined appointment can include more than one of these actions.
Discuss your preferred thickness before removal begins. If you are growing out a sparse or over-shaped area, identify the hairs you want to keep. Tell the studio about sensitivity and the products used near your brows so that suitability can be assessed.

A common question.
Is brow mapping the same as waxing?
Mapping is the plan. Waxing is one way to remove hairs outside it, and tweezing or other finishing techniques may also be used.
