How Often Should You Get Your Brows Done?

by Nancy Pham

One of the most common questions we get in the salon is:
“How often should I get my brows done?”

The truth is, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer — it depends on your natural growth cycle, your preferred brow style, and the type of service you’re having done. But don’t worry, we’re breaking it all down for you right here.

Let’s chat timelines, treatments, and how to keep your brows looking fresh without overdoing it.

🧬 Everyone’s Brows Grow at Different Rates

Your brows, just like the hair on your head, go through a growth cycle (check out our blog on Brow Anatomy if you want to dive deeper!). Depending on your genetics, hormone levels, and skincare routine, your brow hair might grow faster or slower than someone else’s.

Some people notice regrowth in a week, while others can go a month before things start looking messy.

🕒 Here’s a General Guide:

1. Brow Waxing or Shaping: Every 3–4 Weeks

This allows enough time for the hairs to grow out slightly, making them easier to shape without constantly stressing the skin.

➡️ Pro tip: Avoid over-waxing too often — it can cause irritation and long-term thinning.

2. Brow Tinting: Every 3–4 Weeks

Tint typically lasts 2–3 weeks on the hair and a few days on the skin, depending on your skin type and lifestyle (think: skincare, sweating, sun exposure). Regular tinting helps keep your brows looking defined without makeup.

3. Brow Lamination: Every 6–8 Weeks

Brow lamination gives your brows that fluffy, brushed-up effect by reshaping the hair. It’s important to give your brow hairs time to rest between treatments so they don’t become dry or brittle.

➡️ Hydrating brow serums are your best friend post-lamination.

4. Brow Henna: Every 4–6 Weeks

Henna stains the skin longer than regular tint and can give a bolder, more defined look. It fades gradually, so 4–6 weeks is usually the sweet spot for touch-ups.

✋ Should You Tidy in Between Appointments?

It’s tempting, we know — but if you're trying to grow your brows or maintain a particular shape, it's best to leave them alone between appointments. Stray hairs can be misleading, and it’s easy to throw off the balance of your brow shape by over-plucking.

Instead, try:

  • Using a brow gel to tame regrowth

  • Lightly filling with pencil or powder if needed

  • Booking ahead so you're not tempted to DIY

💡 Listen to Your Brows & Your Artist

The best frequency is the one that fits your natural growth and beauty goals. During your appointment, your brow artist will recommend when to come back based on what they see — trust their advice! They’ll help you build a routine that keeps your brows looking full, fresh, and flawless.


Whether you’re after clean and defined or soft and natural, staying on top of your brow maintenance is all about timing. Consistent appointments with a professional will give you better long-term results — and way less stress in the mirror each morning.
