There are many brow styles. Learn how to shape brows according to a client's unique features and preferences. Use these tips and techniques to create perfectly shaped brows that enhance a client's natural beauty.

Understanding the Face Shape

Before shaping, identify the client's face shape. The main types are oval, round, square, heart, and long. Each shape has its unique characteristics and ideal brow style. For instance, a high arch suits a round face by adding definition, while a softer, more rounded brow complements an oval face.

Measuring the Brows

To achieve symmetry, measure the client's face to determine where the brows should start and end. Use a brow pencil to mark the starting point, arch, and end of the brow. The brow should start in line with the inner corner of the eye and end at an angle from the outer nostril to the eye's outer corner. The arch should align with the outer edge of the iris when looking straight ahead.

Considering Accessories

Does the client regularly wear accessories like glasses or jewelry? There are a few special considerations when shaping brows on clients with glasses; for example, it may be best to go for a thicker or more arched look to ensure the brows are visible over the frame of the glasses. If the client has facial jewelry like brow piercings, keep the shape clean and simple to avoid over-complicating the look.

Personalizing the Shape

While understanding face shape and following measurements is important, beauty professionals should also listen to their client's preferences. They know their features best and may have a specific look in mind. Communicate with them throughout the shaping process and make adjustments as needed to create a brow shape that they feel confident in.

Choosing the Right Tools

Having the right tools makes the job easier and more precise. Purchase premium tweezers, eyebrow scissors, a spoolie brush, and an eyebrow pencil. A good magnifying mirror can also be helpful. The right tools help beauty professionals achieve clean lines, even trimming, and accurate measurements.

Finishing Touches

After shaping, use a brow pencil or powder matching the client's hair color to fill in any sparse spots. Blend well with a spoolie brush to create a natural look. Finish with a clear or tinted brow gel to set the shape and keep the hair in place all day.

By understanding how to shape brows to suit a client's face, beauty professionals can give each and every client who walks through their door perfectly shaped and personalized brows. They'll leave the salon feeling confident and beautiful with their flawless brow shape.
