Stephanie
Stephanie is a licensed aesthetician and skin care specialist, with over 25 years of tinting and shaping experience.
For all brow shaping services Stephanie uses a gentle wax developed in Australia and designed specifically for delicate and sensitive facial skin. The unique, creamy formula and highly flexible texture means that it wraps around the hair without sticking and pulling at your skin, leaving you with a smooth, hairless look without the redness and irritation.
What is Brow Henna?
Brow henna offers you a customized brow colour that lasts up to 14 days on the skin and 4-6 weeks on your brow hair.
Brow henna is a dye that is applied to both hair and skin in the brow area to create a brow shape and help fill in any sparse areas. This long lasting brow dye remains on the skin underneath the brows for up to 2 weeks and stays on the hair for 4-6 weeks.
Henna is a solution for clients wanting their brows to remain darker than their natural brow hair colour for the same amount of time that their brow shaping lasts. It is also a great solution for clients wanting to achieve a more filled-in look without having to use makeup or a brow pencil. Brow Henna also effectively covers grey brow hairs and comes in a variety of different shades.
We use Elleebana Henna products because they also offer the unique addition of hydrolyzed proteins, vitamin complex and anti-oxidants which help to strengthen and restore hair growth and improve the natural condition of the eyebrow hair. This makes it perfect for people who have sparse, over plucked brows or are recovering from a nightmare waxing experience.
With a unique palette of natural shades which can be used individually or mixed together, we can create the perfect brow colour for you.

Brow Henna FAQs
What is Brow Henna?
Brow henna is a dye that is applied to the brow area to create a shape and help fill in any sparse brows. This long lasting brow dye remains on the skin underneath the brows for up to 2 weeks and on the hair for 4-6 weeks.
How is Henna different to traditional tinting?
Tinting uses an oxidant to open the cuticle of the hair and allows colour to penetrate the cortex of the brow hairs through the oxidation process. (Similar to that a hair stylist uses). Alternatively, henna acts like a blanket over the hair and provides a coating to the hair shaft, covering the top layers of the hair cuticle only.
What is Henna made from?
Henna is derived from a henna plant or henna tree and higher quality henna is extracted from the leaves and flowers of the Henna plant. Higher quality henna offers a superior skin stain and brow colouration. The Elleebana Henna brand is sourced from the best possible suppliers of this high quality henna and uses a manufacturing process that maintains the integrity of the colour. It does not contain ammonia or hydrogen peroxide and is Vegan and Cruelty free.
How do I know if I should have Henna or Tinting for my brows?
If you have very light eyebrows, or do not normally wear a lot of brow makeup, we recommend starting with brow tinting. If you are used to a more filled-in and defined brow, are looking for a longer lasting solution, have stubborn grey brow hairs, or are looking to camouflage gaps or sparse brow hair, we recommend booking a Brow henna service.
How can I help my Brow Henna to last longer?
The most important factor in extending the longevity of a brow tint and Brow henna is to not get the brow area wet for 24 hours after application. Also, exercise caution when applying any type of skin care products containing exfoliators (topical acne medications, retinol, lightening products, alpha hydroxy acids, benzol peroxide, salicylic acid, glycolic acid etc.) These will strip the colour faster.
How Long Does it Take?
At Halcyon Cosmetic we allow up to 30 minutes, and allow time for a complete brow shaping with your henna application.
What Payment Methods Do You Accept?
We accept cash, major credit cards and e-transfer.
