All About The Brows
There’s an old saying about the eyes being the window to the soul, and since 2020, we’ve had to take that to heart. With some of us still wearing masks on a daily basis, our eyes are often the only expressive part of the face that we can share with others. But as well as showing how we feel; our eyes also show who we are and allow us to express our individuality – this means there has never been a better time for you to upgrade your lash and brow services. Read on to find out what Lisa Stone, Brow Expert and Salon System Educator predicts.
Time to step it up
The past year has been a rollercoaster, full of ups and downs and highs and lows. Many of our clients have been resorting to home treatments and DIY techniques to keep their brows in check and now with our industry starting to get back on track we’re faced with a lot of corrective work – especially on those brows!
The biggest brow trend for Autumn has to be a strong brow. We saw brow lamination become the most requested brow treatment in 2020 and the trend isn’t going anywhere. A professional brow lamination can dramatically change the brow and is a great service for creating bigger, bolder, fuller and more volumised brows.
Brow lamination offers an opportunity to tame unruly and messy brows, as we are able to set and position hair into a neat and uniform shape. It creates strong definition and on trend bold looks but is also a great treatment for thinning brows, or brows that have been over waxed or plucked or are naturally thinning with age. Brow lamination allows us to position and move hair to fill in gaps and to create that fluffed-up look, giving the illusion of depth and volume – my more mature clients are loving it and now prefer brow lamination to microblading and other more permanent treatments.
Brow Lamination Benefits
Lisa says brow lamination gives the beauty pro an opportunity to create the latest trends and styles, listed below.
#1: CLASSIC LAMINATION
A great way to control unruly brows and create a uniform shape, simply brush hairs up or down to create a light, glossy and groomed look with a touch of volume that’s great for covering little gaps.
#2: BRUSH BROW
One of the hottest trends at the moment is the supermodel look; think strong, big, bold and dramatic brows that dominate the face. This look works well on clients with a lot of hair.
#3: FLUFFY & FEATHERY
This is a hybrid of the classic and brushed looks, and is great for creating volume and texture. This look works well on thinning or sparse brows by adding the illusion of volume and thickness.
Live tinted
It’s not all about illusions of volume; Lisa says tinting for lashes and brows is still going to be big business.
“As we move through 2021, I see the art of brow tinting become more adventurous, with precision tinting and custom blending to create exciting and harmonising colours as well as brow bleaching, which allows us to create really strong statement brows. It might be worth updating your tinting skills; it can only help your confidence and allow you to offer a more individual tinting service to your clients to gain an edge on your competitors. Think about rebuilding your brow clientele with a fresh new look and add more brow services to really freshen up your treatment menu.”
Katie Godfrey of @kgsalon_bartonleclay shares her thoughts on what’s next for lashes and brows right now. “Right now the motto for lashes and brows definitely appears to be ‘the bigger, the better!’ Super voluminous lashes are so popular and everyone wants that WOW effect. Hybrid lashes are a great go-to treatment, offering a mix of classic and Russian volume extensions for a long, wispy look like Kim Kardashian. This treatment can be tailored depending on what your client wants and how big they want to go.
“Brow lamination is also popular; it can make the brows look so much fuller, even if the client doesn’t have much hair there naturally. You can style the shape and lift the brow hairs to create a thicker look, just like this one by Chloe at KG Salon.”

The K18 ingredients you need for your cleanest hair yet!
Has your client ever asked you abour ingredients in the products that you use on them?
Have you found yourself scanning the back of the packaging and googling the names and feeling a little lost?
You're not alone. Ingredient labels are complex when it comes to haircare and contain an array of unfamilar natural chemical and biological ingredients with confusing names. We are here to give you the tools you need to translate and explain to your clients what is in the products that you use on them in the salon and which K18 products can help you achieve the cleanest hair yet!
A Week In My Shoes - Yovanka Loria
Spend the week with Yovanka Loria, a salon owner and founder of a multifaceted global business, Yovanka Loria Extensions.
Is K18 a Protein?
K18 is built differently...
As hair stylists, we all know about protein overload. That dreaded dry, brittle feeling in the hair is not only an undesirable result, but any treatments you apply won't be able to penetrate deep into the hair fibre and work their magic. But don’t worry! K18 has got your back.
Chantelle: Capital & Me, my self-employed journey & the importance of networking
Introducing Chantelle, a talented beautician, hair extension specialist and proud owner of ‘Chantelle’s Beautique’. We sit down with Chantelle as she tells us how she started out in the industry, her top tips for becoming self-employed, struggles she faced and overcame along the way and her favourite products that she can’t live without!
My treatment room is based in my garden at home and I offer a full range of Hair and Beauty treatments specialising in skin care, brows & hair extensions. My clients love my set up and really appreciate the little touches like being able to park with ease and having more of a cosy experience away from the hustle and bustle of a busy salon. As well as running my own business at home, I also enjoy teaching others on their journey starting out in the trade with my own accredited courses at home as another branch of my business called ‘The Hair and Beauty Training Beautique’. You may also see me in your local Capital Hair & Beauty as I also tutor for one of their training providers ‘Face Forward’ offering brow lamination and lash lift and tint courses.
Meet Sophie, owner of ‘Sophie’s Lashes & Beauty’ which she has been running now for over 7 years!
Sophie gained a wealth of experience working in the industry from her background working in prestigious 5 hotel & spa and salon settings which lead her up to starting a business of her own. We talk about all things beauty and the curved tweezers that she can’t live without!
Hi Sophie, tell us a little bit about your journey and how you go into the industry and what lead up to starting out on your own?
I gained a lot of knowledge from working in different settings from working with a big teams in a 5 star hotels and spas to smaller beauty salon environments. I gained so much knowledge from working in both settings and although it was hard work and long hours.
I started out by working in a few different 5 star hotels with spas and a salons where I gained all my knowledges and experiences from each one to put together for my own business! It was hard work and long hours all the practice paid off. It was actually one of my clients I saw regularly in the salon I worked at that said I should set up on my own and gave me the confidence to go self-employed and I’ve not looked back since!
K18 Biomimetic Hair Science vs. Bond Builders
As professionals in the hairdressing industry, we're well aware of the constant innovation occurring in our field. Our clients love to dramatically alter their look with the ever-changing trends and we do everything we can to prioritise the health of their hair. Bond-building treatments have long been a staple in salons to address this need. However, allow us to present the latest advancement: biomimetic hair science and K18!
Understanding the Future of Haircare: From Bond Builders to Biomimetic Hair Science
For centuries, the haircare industry relied on cosmetic chemistry to conceal damage. Historical solutions like oils and conditioners were designed to sit on the surface of the hair, providing a temporary fix by improving its appearance and manageability. However, these solutions fell short of addressing hair's health at its core.
K18 & Your Salon Services - How to incorporate K18 Services for Ultimate Hair Restoration
Learn how to leverage K18 products in your salon services to reverse damage, fortify hair and enhance salon results all whilst boosting your salon profits. Discover our step-by-step instructions for every treatment, from lightening to styling in our handy salon go-to guide!
What is K18 and how does it work?
Following the natural structure of hair, the biologically active peptide is considered natural. Unlike traditional bonding agents, it is not rinsed away by water or shampoo, making K18 a genuine and enduring remedy for damaged hair. Healthy hair originates in the salon, and K18 believes its influence starts at the salon chair and radiates outward. While K18 is suitable for all hair types and services, the most significant improvements are seen in damaged hair.
