QUICK TIPS ON HOW TO SELECT THE TECHNIQUE, THE NEEDLE, AND THE COLOR FOR YOUR CLIENT’S EYEBROWS

When a client comes for an eyebrows procedure, many factors influence the technique, the tools, and the color selection like:

• Her style and preference: natural vs. sophisticated
• The amount of hair in her eyebrows: abundant vs. scarce
• Her skin type
• Her current hair color 
• The kind of procedure: New vs. touchup

Her desired effect defines the technique and the needle you want to use.

• For individual hairs strokes with the microblading technique, use the curved configurations: 6 f, 6r, 13 u, 14 c, 17 c-nano, and 16 f.
• For shading eyebrows, use the needles of 14 r with the traditional Softap technique.
• For defined and compact eyebrows, use the straight tips 9 and 12 with the traditional Softap technique.

• The beginning of the brow should be the lightest part, the arch area is the darkest part of the brow, and the brow's tail should be in the middle.
• To simulate this effect, pass over the front of the brow the least times, the tail – slightly more times, and the arch the most times.
• Do not put a definite/harsh shape in the front of the brow; this makes an eyebrow look artificial.

WHAT ABOUT THE COLOR?

Facts

• One thing to keep in mind is that one out of three women color their hair.
• Many women do not keep the same hair color for their entire life.

Suggestions

• If your client changes her hair color frequently, the best thing to do is to go by the color of the hairs in the eyebrow area.
• If you want to get a shaded effect, choose a color that is lighter than those hairs. It makes for a natural, undetectable look.
• If you want to do individual hair strokes, select a color that matches her natural eyebrow hair. It is better to choose a  or warm color. If you want a cooler effect, add 1 part of Brown sugar to 9 parts of a neutral color, but do not use a cool color alone.
• If you want to achieve a solid effect, select the color that complements her skin tone. 
• For Caucasians, select neutral and light colors
• For Hispanics, choose a neutral dark or any warm color.
• For Asians, select a neutral and dark or a cool color.
• For African- Americans, select a warm color.
