the scoop on…brow & lash tinting

The things we do with our hair is nuts.  I personally remove it within an inch of its life from certain areas while helping it grow in others.  The hair I do leave behind I either make darker (lashes, brows) or lighter (head hair).  The best /asinine thing is when I straighten my semi-wavy hair, just to then put a curling iron to it so it has the perfect amount of curl…which I of course control.  None of this is at all necessary and quite frankly is a pain in the a*s at times but I put myself through it anyway and I like the results.

The problem is that before the new boutique in SoHo opened, I didn’t have any place where I could take part in my ultimate favorite, non-essential, yet totally addicting beauty service…TINTING!

brow tinting (don't worry, they don't stay like this!)

Being a brunette I have brown brow and lash hair but of course I want it darker. Enter tinting.

If you’ve never gotten a brow and/or lash tint I can understand the confusion…why not just use mascara and brow product?  The answer is…

a) after it’s done it lasts for 4-6 weeks and you don’t need to use those products as much hence cutting down on getting ready time aka more sleep. Shameless plug, I still use they’re real because it’s THAT good.

b) I’m a beauty junkie and I love trying out the latest and greatest

c) It’s 14 min of zen during which I can’t check my black berry even if I wanted to

c) it’s the ultimate Benefit fake it!

If you live near one of our 17 boutiques across the US, stop by and ask them about tinting.  I promise it’ll change the way you feel about your brows and lashes.
