Eyebrow Waxing: What to Expect (And Why It's Only $10)

Quick answer: Eyebrow waxing removes stray hairs from the root to clean up your brow shape. It takes about 10 to 15 minutes, results last 3 to 5 weeks, and it stings for just a second. At Diamond Nails in Duluth, eyebrow wax is $10 and lip wax is $7.

How it works

1. Your tech talks with you about the shape you want.
2. Warm wax is applied to the hairs to be removed.
3. A strip is pressed on and pulled off quickly.
4. Stray hairs are tweezed and a soothing product is applied.

Before your appointment

• Let your brows grow for 2 to 3 weeks so there's enough hair to shape.
• Tell your tech if you use retinol, acne medication or exfoliating acids. These can make skin sensitive to wax, and you may need to pause them first.
• Skip exfoliating scrubs on your face the day before.

Aftercare

• Avoid hot showers, saunas and heavy makeup on the area for 24 hours.
• Don't touch or pick at the area.
• Some redness is normal and usually fades within an hour.

How often to wax

Every 3 to 5 weeks keeps your shape clean. Add it to your manicure or pedicure appointment to save a trip. See our waxing page.
