If you’re trying to decide between brow lamination and eyebrow threading, you’re not alone. Both are popular brow treatments offered at Iconic Brow N Lash and Iconic Brow Wax N Beauty inside Westfield North Lakes — but they do very different things.
This guide breaks down exactly what each treatment does, how long results last, and which one is right for your brows.
What Is Brow Lamination?
Brow lamination is a semi-permanent treatment that relaxes and reshapes your brow hairs, setting them in your desired direction for a fluffy, defined look. It gives you that full, brushed-up brow look that’s trending right now — without any daily effort.
- Treatment time: 45-60 minutes
- Results last: 6-8 weeks
- Price at Iconic Brow N Lash: from $65 (Lamination only) up to $95 (Lamination + Shape + Tint)
- Best for: Unruly, sparse or downward-growing brow hairs
What Is Eyebrow Threading?
Eyebrow threading is an ancient hair removal technique that uses a thin cotton thread to precisely remove unwanted brow hairs and shape the brow. It’s one of the most precise and gentle methods available, making it ideal for all skin types including sensitive skin.
- Treatment time: 10-15 minutes
- Results last: 3-4 weeks
- Price at Iconic Brow N Lash: from $24 (Eyebrow Shaping)
- Best for: Shaping and defining brows, removing unwanted hair
Brow Lamination vs Eyebrow Threading — Key Differences
Purpose: Threading removes hair and shapes the brow. Lamination doesn’t remove hair — it repositions existing brow hairs for a fuller, more defined look.
Results: Threading gives you a clean, defined brow shape. Lamination gives you a fluffy, brushed-up, full brow look that lasts weeks without daily grooming.
Maintenance: Threading needs to be done every 3-4 weeks as hair grows back. Lamination lasts 6-8 weeks and requires minimal upkeep.
Pain level: Threading involves mild discomfort as hair is removed. Lamination is completely painless.
Skin sensitivity: Both are gentle on the skin. Threading is chemical-free. Lamination uses a mild chemical solution — a patch test is recommended for very sensitive skin.
Can You Get Both at the Same Time?
Yes — and many of our clients do! In fact our most popular combination is Lamination + Shape + Tint at $95, which includes brow lamination, eyebrow threading to clean up and shape the brows, and a tint for added colour and definition.
Getting both treatments together gives you the best of both worlds — perfectly shaped, hair-free brows that also look full and fluffy.
