BROW STAIN FAQS
HOW DO YOU CHOOSE COLOR?
I look at your natural color and hair color and we decide together the best colors to use depending on what you want.
BENEFITS OF A BROW TINT / STAIN
The "Wake Up & Go" Benefit: Eliminates the need for daily makeup, making it the perfect low-maintenance routine for busy lifestyles.
Fully Customizable: Whether you want a subtle tint to match a hair change or a bolder shade to frame your face, the color depth and tone are tailored to your unique features.
Ideal for blonde brows: tinting picks up fine vellus hairs to create a fuller, more cohesive appearance that enhances your natural brow line.
Quick & Gentle: A fast, non-invasive way to achieve defined brows without the commitment of permanent makeup. If you’re interested in permanent makeup, this can be a great stepping stone to get used to more defined brows before committing to long-term results.
DO YOU USE BROW TINT THAT USES PPD?
Yes, I typically use products with PPD, but I also carry PPD free stains.
WHAT IS PPD?
PPD tint refers to a hair, eyebrow, or eyelash tint containing p-phenylenediamine (PPD), a chemical compound widely used as a permanent dye and color developer.
When mixed with an oxidizing agent like hydrogen peroxide, PPD penetrates the hair cuticle or cortex and undergoes a chemical reaction to lock in rich, long-lasting, and dark shades.
Why it is used: PPD creates deep, natural-looking dark colors (like black and dark brown) that resist washing out and provide strong coverage.
PPD-Free options: Many modern brands offer PPD-free alternatives (utilizing substitutes like para-toluenediamine sulfate or iron oxides) to reduce the risk of irritation for sensitive skin.
DO YOU OFFER HENNA?
Not anymore. To replace henna, I now offer PPD free tints for clients with more sensitive skin or who have sensitivities to oxidizing agents, as PPD free products don’t use them.
