DIY Eyebrow Tint, is it cheaper to dye my brows at home?

What are the pros and cons of brow tinting at the salon, versus tinting them at home? What is the best choice for me? There are so many variables that go into making this decision, and we want to help! Below, we have listed the benefits and the pricing for both methods, to help you choose the right method for you.

Price at salons for brows / how long it lasts

The cost of tinting your eyebrows professionally at a salon can vary depending on the location and the salon you choose. On average, the cost can range from $20 to $50, but it can be higher in upscale salons or in larger cities. Depending on the state, eyebrow tinting is allowed to be applied professionally in any salons, no special training or certification needed outside of a current cosmetology or other license. It is always important to choose a reputable salon that specializes in brow tinting and has experienced professionals to ensure a quality job.

The duration of eyebrow tinting largely depends on various factors such as the type of dye used, the natural growth cycle of your eyebrows, and how frequently you wash your face. Typically, professional eyebrow tinting can last anywhere between 4-6 weeks

Overall, professional eyebrow tinting can be a worthwhile investment for those who want to enhance the look of their eyebrows without having to spend time filling them in daily; and for those who have the extra money to spend. While the cost may vary, it is more expensive to do your eyebrows in a salon than it is to do them at home.

Price at salons for lashes / how long it lasts

Similarly, if you are wanting to tint your lashes, the cost of professional eyelash tinting at a salon can vary depending on the salon you choose and your location. On average, cost can range from $30 to $75, but it can be higher in upscale salons or in larger cities. The duration of eyelash tinting can vary depending on various factors such as the type of dye used, the natural growth cycle of your lashes, and how frequently you wash your face. Typically, eyelash tinting can last anywhere from 4-6 weeks, but it can last up to 8 weeks with proper care.

To ensure the longevity of your tint, it is essential to follow some aftercare instructions. Avoid getting your lashes wet for at least 24 hours after the treatment, as water can strip the dye. Additionally, avoid using any oil-based makeup or skincare products on your lashes, as these can also affect the tint's lifespan. It is also recommended to avoid using any mascara or lash curlers on your tinted lashes as this can also cause the tint to fade.

Overall, professional eyelash tinting can be a good option for those who want to enhance the look of their lashes without having to apply mascara daily. The result will be long-lasting; but you can get very similar results at home, and for cheaper, if you purchase your own tint kit. Want longer and thicker lashes to pair with your fresh tint?
