Brow Shaping Secrets: How To Perfect Your Brows This Summer

Let’s face it: nothing transforms your look quite like perfectly shaped brows. Whether you’re a beauty regular or a complete brow newbie, giving your arches some summer TLC can make all the difference. At Heaven at Number 7, we believe every brow journey should feel empowering and a little bit fun! Ready to unlock those expert secrets and face the season with confidence? Let’s dive in.

The Brow Revolution: What’s Trending Now

Brows are the little black dress of the beauty world—always in style, but trends come and go. This summer, natural and bespoke styles are stealing the show. Think fluffy, brushed-up brows with a hint of definition, not those over-drawn looks from years past.

Brow lamination is still reigning supreme for anyone dreaming of softly lifted, fuller-looking arches (great for taming tricky hairs or nailing that “boy brow” vibe). HD Brows remain a classic, offering tailored tinting and shaping for a completely individual finish. And if you’ve been tempted by vibrant tints, you’re not alone; subtle hints of caramel and honey are perfect for sunny days and fresh summer faces!

Of course, the trend that never fades is healthy, well-groomed brows—whatever their shape.

Thread, Wax, or Tint? Here’s How To Choose

Standing in front of the mirror, tweezers in hand, and not sure where to start? We get it—it’s a brow jungle out there. Here’s the lowdown on your top professional brow shaping options:

• Threading uses a twisted cotton thread to remove hairs with precision, perfect for crafting a clean line or tackling fine, fuzzy regrowth. Many of our clients love it for its accuracy and gentle feel, especially on sensitive skin. If you haven’t tried threading before, it can be a gentle way to shape brows and define your natural arch.
• Waxing gives wonderfully crisp results and captures even the tiniest hairs. It’s ideal for those who like a sharply defined shape or want to keep their grooming time short and sweet. Plus, salons like ours use specialist wax for a gentle touch and reduced redness.
• Tinting transforms sparse or fair brows, adding instant contrast and fullness. Professional tints come in an array of shades to match your skin and hair perfectly (no more harsh, blocky brows from box dyes). Tinting is also brilliant if you want bolder brows without daily pencil fuss.

The best method for you? It depends on your hair growth, skin type, and personal style. If you’re ever unsure, our therapists are always happy to chat you through your options, with no pressure.

Transformative Techniques: Permanent Makeup & Microblading

For some, sparse brows or over-plucking in the past can make achieving beautifully shaped brows feel impossible with traditional shaping techniques. That’s where our Permanent Makeup and Microblading services work their magic!

• Permanent Makeup is an amazing solution for anyone looking to wake up every day with flawless brows. Using gentle techniques and pigments matched to your natural tones, our experts create brow shapes that last—perfect if you're tired of pencilling in or if your brows just aren't growing back.
• Microblading gives a gorgeously natural, hair-stroke effect that mimics real hairs. This treatment is fantastic for anyone with no brows at all, thin spots, or gaps from overzealous tweezing. Each stroke is placed with care to blend with your existing brow hairs (or create a full brow from scratch!), leaving you with beautiful arches that stand up to summer heat, swimming, and daily life.

Our advanced brow artists take you through a thoughtful consultation to choose your ideal style, colour, and shape, so your results are both stunning and uniquely you. It’s a total game changer for confidence and convenience. Curious? Pop in for a chat or book a consultation—your perfect brows could be just an appointment away!

How Pro Brow Shaping Can Transform Your Face

It’s not just about neat brows—it’s about feeling genuinely confident. Professionally shaped brows frame your face, lift your features, and give you an instantly more polished look (even on makeup-free days). Whether you prefer a soft arch, bold straight brow, or “just a tidy please,” a skilled therapist will work with your natural features—never against them.

At Heaven at Number 7, we offer everything from quick brow tidies to full HD Brows, using your bone structure and face shape to guide every stroke. Every appointment begins with a good old-fashioned consultation, so you’ll walk out the door looking (and feeling) fresh. Don’t forget, ongoing brow care can even make regrowth tidier and your shape easier to maintain between visits.

Brow TLC: Keeping Your Brows Brilliant All Summer

You’ve finally nailed the perfect brow—now, how do you keep it looking fresh until your next salon visit? The trick is gentle maintenance, not over-tweezing. Here are our top tips:

• Hands off the tweezers: We know, it’s tempting! But stray hairs grow in cycles. Over-plucking can disrupt your shape and slow regrowth, so leave the fine-tuning to the professionals.
• Tame and nourish: Use a clean spoolie brush to sweep your brows upward each morning. A dab of brow gel helps hold everything in place (especially in summer humidity).
• Moisturise: Brows love a little hydration too; use your regular face cream over your brow area (just steer clear of heavy oils that could affect tint longevity).
• Patch up with tint: If your brows start to fade, a touch-up tint can revive their colour fast. Book a quick session or ask about at-home options.
• Bonus summer tip: Remember your SPF! Brows can be faded by the sun, so sweep a gentle sunscreen over them if you’re out and about.

If you’re already planning your summer self-care days, explore treatments at your local beauty salon for a full pampering experience.
