Maximize results with this pro favorite...brow tinting! Whether your clients crave bold, Instagram-ready arches or just a subtle enhancement, the right professional brow tint kit can make all the difference. But with so many options out there, how do you choose the best one for your salon? Fear not, brow boss—we’ve got the lowdown on picking the perfect tint kit that’ll have your clients coming back for more (and tipping generously).
First things first: not all brow tints are created equal. Some are like that one friend who always shows up late and half-prepared, while others are the reliable, overachieving MVP of your beauty arsenal. Let’s break down what to look for so you can avoid beauty disasters and keep those brows on fleek.
1. Safety First: FDA-Compliant Formulas
Unless you want to explain why your client’s brows turned neon green (hey, maybe it’s a vibe?), stick with FDA-compliant tints. These formulas are rigorously tested for safety, so you can tint with confidence. Our top pick? The Intense Brow[n]s Essentials Kit by Refectocil. It’s FDA-approved, gentle on skin, and delivers rich, long-lasting color without the drama.
2. Shade Range: Because Not Everyone Wants to Look Like Dracula
A good tint kit should offer a variety of shades—from soft browns to deep blacks—to match every client’s natural brow color or desired intensity. The Tint Kit by Berrywell comes in a killer range of shades, so whether your client is a blonde bombshell or a brunette goddess, you’ve got them covered. Pro tip: Always do a patch test first. Trust us, nobody wants a surprise allergic reaction mid-service.
3. Ease of Use: No PhD in Chemistry Required
Look for kits that include everything you need—developer, tint, applicators, and instructions that don’t read like an IKEA manual. The Lash & Brow Cream Dye Starter Kit by Refectocil is a salon favorite because it’s foolproof and comes with all the essentials. Plus, it mixes easily, so you won’t waste precious time wrestling with clumpy formulas.
4. Longevity: Make That Color Last
Your clients don’t want their tint to bail after two days. High-quality tints should last 3-4 weeks, so they’re not back in your chair every other Tuesday. Both the Refectocil and Berrywell kits deliver fade-resistant color that stays put, even through workouts, showers, and the occasional ugly cry.
5. Gentle on Skin and Brows
Avoid tints that leave brows brittle or skin irritated. The best kits include nourishing ingredients to keep brows soft and healthy. Pair your tint service with a brow serum or conditioning treatment for added luxury.
Bonus: Speed Matters
In a busy salon, time is money. Opt for tints that process quickly (5-10 minutes max) so you can keep your schedule flowing. The Refectocil kits are known for their speedy processing time, meaning happier clients and more appointments in your day.
