Brow Lamination
7. What is brow lamination?
Brow lamination is a non-invasive treatment that smooths and lifts the eyebrow hairs, giving them a fuller and more defined look. It helps keep unruly brows in place, creating a sleek, polished appearance that lasts for weeks.
8. How long does brow lamination last?
Brow lamination results typically last for 6-8 weeks, depending on your hair growth cycle and aftercare. To maintain the best results, follow Val’s aftercare instructions carefully.
9. How should I care for my brows after lamination?
After brow lamination, avoid getting your brows wet for the first 24 hours. Use a gentle brow conditioner to keep them hydrated and avoid using harsh skincare products around the brow area to prolong the results.
Lash Lifts
10. What is a lash lift?
A lash lift is a semi-permanent treatment that curls your natural lashes, giving them a lifted and more voluminous appearance. It’s an excellent alternative to eyelash extensions, providing a natural and effortless look.

A lash lift typically lasts 6-8 weeks, depending on your natural lash growth cycle. Regular lash lift treatments at Brows by Val in Long Beach can help maintain a consistently beautiful lash appearance.
12. Can I wear mascara after a lash lift?
