What is brow mapping:
First, what exactly is brow mapping? Brow mapping is a tool and way of working that allows you to define the ideal brow shape for the client before the treatment. Through brow mapping, you create symmetrical lines that eventually form an eyebrow shape. Basically, you create a template of the desired brow shape.
Why is mapping used:
Brow mapping is important because it allows the artist to make the eyebrows as symmetrical as possible. It is a must to have them that are as symmetrical as possible.
When a client has very uneven eyebrows, and it's hard to restore them to the desired shape before you start tinting, the uneven eyebrows can be accentuated even more after the dye treatment.
As we all know, brows are usually sisters, not twins, and mapping is a useful tool when you get a client with very challenging eyebrows that don't have a clear shape.
It's all about the service:
Brow mapping is not just a method; it's a trust-building tool. It allows you to show your client the eyebrow shape you intend to create before applying the dye. This proactive approach not only checks if the shape meets their expectations. For new clients, this can be a reassuring step, demonstrating your respect for their preferences and your commitment to creating beautiful brows.
It's like a hairdresser; we advise what outcomes we desire, and we can watch the process as it progresses. With a mapping, we can show the client what the outcome will look like in relation to their natural face shape and bone structure.
It is a more natural look and outcome for the client.
Mapping is a very technical process, and before I was a brow artist, I'd only visit salons that undertook this process, as it provides a more accurate outcome, so it was only natural to take this step for my clients.
