Lash & Brow Consults: The Secret to Perfect Results
Booking a lash lift, brow tint or lash extension appointment? One step that often gets overlooked is the consultation. But truthfully, that 10 to 15-minute chat can make all the difference, whether it happens before you book or on the day of your treatment.
It’s not just about small talk. A lash and brow consultation is your chance to discuss goals, get expert advice and make sure you’re choosing the right treatment for your face, features and lifestyle.
We happily offer pre-consultations over the phone, online, or in person to help you understand your best options before you book. Then, on the day of your treatment, we go deeper with a detailed consultation to make sure the results are exactly what you want.
Here are five reasons why a professional consultation, no matter if it’s before or during your appointment, is a smart move before any lash or brow service.
1. Personalised Advice for Your Features
Everyone’s face is different. From eye shape to brow thickness to lash direction, the right look depends on more than just a trend. During your consultation, your stylist will take a close look at your natural features and guide you on what will suit you best.
For example, a brow lamination might look amazing on someone with thick, unruly brows, but may not give the same results for someone with sparse arches. Lash lifting may be a better choice for some eye shapes compared to lash extensions. The consultation gives you clarity on which service is most likely to deliver the outcome you want.
2. Understand Your Options
With so many brow and lash treatments available, it’s easy to get confused. Should you go for a lift or tint? Brow shaping or lamination? Extensions or a natural lash boost?
A lash and brow consultation breaks it all down. You’ll learn the difference between treatments, how they work, how long they last and what kind of upkeep they require. That means you won’t waste money on something that’s not the right fit. You’ll also avoid results that don’t align with your personal style or comfort level.
3. Build Trust With Your Stylist
This one’s especially important if you’re trying a new salon or getting a service for the first time. A consultation gives you the chance to meet your stylist, ask questions and make sure you’re both on the same page.
It’s also your opportunity to talk about any past experiences, allergies or sensitivities. If you’ve ever had a reaction to glue used in lash extensions, for instance, that’s something your stylist needs to know upfront. When you feel heard and understood, it’s much easier to relax and enjoy the experience.
4. Get a Customised Look
No two lashes or brows are the same. Your ideal result might be a subtle lash lift with tint, or a fuller brow look with soft arch definition. An experienced stylist will use the consultation to map out your features and create a treatment plan that enhances your natural beauty.
We’ve seen how a quick consultation can turn a standard service into something truly tailored. You’ll walk out feeling more confident because the results actually reflect you, not just a generic look copied from social media.
5. Save Time and Prevent Miscommunication
We’ve all had those "this isn’t what I asked for" moments. A proper consultation helps avoid that. It sets expectations, confirms what you’re booking in for and ensures there’s enough time allocated for your treatment.
Let’s say you wanted lash lifting with a tint and a brow tidy. But your stylist thought you were coming in for lash extensions and lamination. That kind of miscommunication can lead to delays or disappointment. A consultation clears that up either during a pre-consult or at the appointment.
6. Plan for Future Appointments and Maintenance
Consultations also help you understand what to expect after your service. From how to care for your lashes and brows to how often you’ll need touch-ups, your stylist can give you a realistic plan moving forward.
This is especially helpful if you're new to treatments like lash extensions or brow lamination. You’ll know what’s involved, how much time to set aside, and when to book your next visit to maintain the results.
What to Expect During Your Consultation
Most lash and brow consultations take 10 to 15 minutes. Your stylist will assess your natural lashes and brows, ask a few questions about your goals, and go over your options. They’ll also cover things like aftercare, timing and pricing, so you can make an informed decision.
You can have this initial consultation over the phone, online, or in person before your appointment. Then on the day, we’ll do a more detailed consult to finalise your treatment plan.
You might even get some helpful tips about brow growth cycles, lash conditioning or how to prep for your appointment. It’s like a mini coaching session before your treatment begins.
Do You Need a Patch Test?
In some cases, your stylist might recommend a patch test during the consultation. This is common for tinting or lash extensions, especially if you’ve never had the treatment before or have sensitive skin.
A patch test involves applying a small amount of product to a discreet area, like behind your ear or on your inner arm, to check for reactions. It’s a simple step that ensures your comfort and safety.
Your Features, Your Style
When it comes to lashes and brows, a proper consultation ensures your treatment works with your features, not against them. No one style fits every single person. Your stylist will look at your bone structure, natural growth patterns and personal preferences to shape a look that complements your face.
