Brow Lamination Myths

If you’ve ever found yourself admiring those full, fluffy, impossibly perfect brows on Instagram, chances are you’ve stumbled upon the results of brow lamination—the beauty treatment everyone’s talking about (and quietly Googling).

But with popularity comes a wave of misinformation. At Clae, we’re here to cut through the noise and give you the real deal. Let’s bust some of the most common myths we hear behind the chair when it comes to brow lamination.

Myth 01: Brow lamination makes your brows feel stiff or crunchy

Reality: Not at Clae.
Our artists are all about soft, touchable texture. After a lamination treatment, your brows should still feel like your brows—just more lifted, more defined, and way easier to style. We finish every treatment with nourishing serums and a custom sculpt, so you leave with brows that look full but feel natural.

Myth 02: Brow lamination will ruin your brow hair over time

Reality: When done professionally and cared for correctly, brow lamination is completely safe.
At Clae, we space your appointments appropriately, use premium solutions that prioritise hair health, and never rush the process. Plus, we’ll guide you on how to nourish your brows between treatments (hint: hydration is everything).

Myth 03: Lamination is only for thick, full brows

Reality: Absolutely not.
Brow lamination can actually create the illusion of fullness for finer brows by lifting each hair and reshaping your natural arch. It’s less about what you start with and more about what we can bring forward—and trust us, we’ve worked magic on all kinds of brows.

Myth 04: Brow lamination gives a ‘stuck to your forehead’ look

Reality: Only if it’s done wrong.
At Clae, lamination isn’t a one-size-fits-all treatment. We tailor the look to you—whether you want a brushed-up editorial moment, soft feathering, or a refined and polished shape. Our artists work with your natural growth pattern, face shape, and personal style to create brows that elevate you.

Myth 05: It’s the same as a brow tint or a brow wax

Reality: Think of lamination as the lift.
It restructures your brow hairs to give them a new direction and shape. Tinting adds depth and colour. Waxing defines the outer shape. Often, the three are combined into one transformative service—but they each do something different. If you’re not sure what you need, our artists will guide you at your appointment.

If you love a low-maintenance morning, want that “just styled” brow look without the effort, or are curious to see how much potential your natural brows have—it’s a game changer. And if you’ve been put off by myths or past bad experiences, we invite you to try the Clae way.
