Eyebrow and eyelash tinting is a cosmetic procedure that involves applying a semi-permanent dye to the eyebrows and eyelashes to enhance their colour and appearance.
During the treatment, a trained professional will carefully apply the tint to the eyebrows and eyelashes using a brush or applicator. The dye is left on for a short period of time, typically around 10-15 minutes, allowing it to penetrate the hair follicles and darken the colour.
Eyebrow tinting is a popular choice for individuals with light or sparse eyebrows, as it helps to define and shape the brows, giving them a fuller and more prominent look. The tint can be customized to match the individual’s hair colour or desired shade, creating a natural and seamless result.
Similarly, eyelash tinting is a great option for those with light or pale lashes, as it adds depth and intensity to the eyes. The tinting process coats each individual lash, making them appear longer, thicker, and more voluminous. This can eliminate the need for daily mascara application, saving time and effort in the morning routine.
The tint used for both eyebrow and eyelash tinting is typically a vegetable-based dye that is safe for use around the delicate eye area. It is important to choose a reputable salon or technician who uses high-quality products to ensure the best results and minimize the risk of any adverse reactions.
Eyebrow and eyelash tinting typically lasts for around 4-6 weeks, depending on individual hair growth and maintenance. It is a low-maintenance procedure that requires minimal upkeep, making it a convenient option for those looking to enhance their natural features without the need for daily makeup application.
Overall, eyebrow and eyelash tinting can provide a subtle yet noticeable enhancement to the eyes and brows, creating a more polished and put-together look. It is a popular choice for individuals seeking a long-lasting solution to achieve fuller, darker, and more defined eyebrows and eyelashes.

SPRAY TANNING – available at Hawthorne only
Spray tanning is a popular method of achieving a sun-kissed, bronzed glow without the harmful effects of UV exposure. It involves the application of a fine mist of tanning solution onto the skin, creating a temporary tan that typically lasts for about 7-10 days.
During a spray tanning session, a trained technician will use a handheld spray gun to evenly distribute the tanning solution onto the body. The solution contains a combination of DHA (dihydroxyacetone), a colorless sugar that reacts with the amino acids in the top layer of the skin, and other ingredients that help to enhance and prolong the tan.
The tanning solution is available in different shades and can be customized to match the individual’s desired level of tan, ranging from a subtle glow to a deep, dark bronze. The technician will work with the client to determine the most suitable shade based on their skin tone and preferences.
Before the spray tan application, it is important to exfoliate the skin to remove any dead skin cells and create a smooth surface for the tanning solution to adhere to. It is also recommended to avoid applying any lotions, oils, or deodorants prior to the session, as they can create a barrier and affect the absorption of the tanning solution.
During the application, the technician will guide the spray gun to ensure an even and streak-free tan. They will pay special attention to areas such as the elbows, knees, and ankles, which tend to absorb more solution and can result in darker patches if not properly blended.
After the spray tan, it is important to allow the solution to fully develop on the skin. This typically takes around 8-12 hours, during which time it is recommended to avoid showering, sweating, or any activities that may cause the solution to rub off. Once the development time has passed, the client can rinse off the excess solution to reveal their newly bronzed skin.
To maintain the spray tan, it is important to moisturize the skin regularly and avoid activities that may cause excessive exfoliation, such as swimming in chlorinated pools or using harsh exfoliating products. It is also recommended to avoid prolonged exposure to water, as it can cause the tan to fade more quickly.
Overall, spray tanning provides a safe and convenient way to achieve a beautiful, sun-kissed glow. It is a popular choice for special occasions, vacations, or simply to enhance one’s natural complexion. With proper care and maintenance, a spray tan can provide a natural-looking tan that lasts for several days, giving the skin a healthy and radiant appearance.
