Brow Shaping

At Brows by Cat, we don’t just wax—we sculpt. Using your preferences and facial features as a guide, we create the perfect brow shape with a meticulous brow mapping process.

Each client is unique, which is why consultations are essential. After mapping, waxing, and tweezing, we enhance your brows with a light pencil fill-in and concealer for a flawless finish.

  • The timing for your next appointment depends on your natural brow growth cycle. For faster-growing brows, a shape-up is recommended every 2 - 4 weeks. For slower growth, appointments can be scheduled every 4 - 8 weeks.

  • While patch tests aren’t typically required for eyebrow waxing, allergic reactions can occasionally occur. Symptoms may include redness, bumps, or blisters. If you have a known allergy to waxing, let us know in advance—we can shape your brows using tweezers and a razor instead.

  • To ensure the best results and prevent skin irritation:

    • Avoid trimming or plucking your brows for at least 48 hours before your appointment.

    • Refrain from using products containing AHAs or BHAs within 48 hours of your visit.

    • Stop using prescription retinoids or acne medications at least one week before waxing, as they can increase the risk of skin lifting.

    • If you are on Accutane or have a severe medical condition, waxing is NOT recommended. Please inform us if any of these conditions apply, and we will shape your brows with a razor and tweezers instead.

  • To ensure your brows heal properly and look their best after waxing, follow these aftercare tips:

    • Avoid touching the waxed area for 24 hours unless your hands are clean to prevent irritation or infection.

    • Refrain from applying heavy makeup on or around the brows for at least 24 hours.

    • Avoid using retinol, chemical exfoliants, or physical exfoliants for 24 hours to prevent skin irritation.

    • Stay out of tanning beds and avoid direct sun exposure for 24 hours post-appointment.

    • If you experience a wax burn or skin abrasion, apply a thin layer of Vaseline or Aquaphor to the affected area for the first 24 hours. This will help the skin heal and prevent scabbing.
