Read on to learn more from Jessica about her individualized approach to brows...
“Most women who come to me for the first time are in what I call a brow identity crisis. They don’t like their brows, they know something is wrong, but they don’t know what to do or where to start.
A face with bedraggled brows is like a room with a crooked picture. An off-kilter piece of art is unsettling. When that frame is finally straightened there’s an immediate feeling of “ahhhhhhhhhhhh” as the room is restored to harmonious balance. Suddenly you notice the beauty that was always there.
That same immediate impact is one of the things I love about shaping eyebrows. The actual changes I make in sculpting a client’s brows can be subtle but the transformation is often spectacular.
Benefits of Eyebrow Tinting
The first benefit of brow tinting is added depth, darkness and volume to the brows. By adding color to the brows we darken all the hairs that are already visible. But we also pick up countless little, pale and otherwise invisible smaller hairs. This gives instant volume and pop to the brows. It also gives us a lot more canvas to play with in creating a fuller, more youthful shape.
The second benefit is the hassle-free, semi-permanence of the effect. A high quality brow tint will last 3-6 weeks and will make brows appear fuller. You will have far less need for brow pencils, powders and other makeup tricks to coax out your brows. Your brows will be all set even when you first get out of bed.
Thinning Brows? No Problem.
Thin, wispy brows add years to your face. But getting older is no reason to say goodbye to full, luxuriant brows. Beauty mavens turn to Jessica Johnson Brow & Lash Conditioning Serum (available at the Yves Durif Salon at The Carlyle) to restore youthful vigor to their brows and lashes. And they’ve been doing so for years. In fact, this wonder fluid is guaranteed to produce longer, stronger, thicker brows and lashes in about six weeks. Use it every day and your best brows will come back.
Great brows frame the face and establish order, symmetry and definition from which the inherent beauty of each woman can emanate. When your brows are right everything else comes together with greater ease. I recommend seeing a brow shaping professional for at least your first shaping. After all, you don’t cut your own hair...I advise that you don’t make your brows a DIY project.”
