Eyebrow & Eyelash Tinting: A Buying Guide
Eyebrow tinting (also called brow dye) darkens and defines the brows with semi-permanent colour, and remains one of the most requested quick treatments in any salon.
Choosing a dye format
- Gel dye (Bronsun) — sets quickly, good for fine or sparse brows.
- Cream dye (Bronsun) — thicker and easier to control on coarser hair.
- Oxidant tint (RefectoCil) — the traditional professional standard, paired with a separate developer.
- Hybrid dye (Noemi) — colours both hair and skin for a richer stain with nourishing ingredients built in.
Choosing a developer strength
Most systems offer 1.8% (softer stain, gentler on sensitive skin) and 3% (stronger, longer-lasting colour) developer options — check what your chosen dye brand recommends before mixing.
Always patch test 24–48 hours before a client's first tint, as required under most salon insurance policies.
