The Lowdown on Henna Brows

Here at Byōōdē Bar, our brow techs have always offered our Brow Rehab service and have shaped and tinted the entire area that we map out.Most people are familiar with classic tint staining, and it’s a fantastic option that lasts 4-6 weeks. But did you know we also offer henna tint for your brows?


What is henna?

Henna is a natural dye made from plants, and has a long history of being used for cosmetic purposes. Containing hydrolyzed proteins, vitamin complexes and antioxidants, henna actually helps strengthen hair and restore growth with every use. And besides being great for healing damaged hair follicles, henna also produces stunning volume and vibrant colour for a look you can’t ignore.

Beauty Tips for a Carefree Summer

Summer is almost here, which means the heat is coming and carefree days relaxing by the pool are just around the corner. The last thing most of us want to be doing in the sweltering heat is worrying about our beauty routine—plus, mascara running down our faces hasn’t been “in” since the emo days nearly 20 years ago (!!). Luckily for you, it’s totally possible to ‘automate’ your routine for a low-maintenance, high-performance look.

Laser Hair Removal: Does It Really Work?

Our esthetician Sarah offers laser hair removal, and clients often ask the same things. We know permanent hair removal is a bit of investment, so let’s answer your most common questions

Does laser hair removal actually work?

When it comes to laser hair treatments, all are not equal. The machines that are used range from inexpensive and ineffective, to top-of-the-line and worth every penny. The machine we have at Byōōdē Bar is the highest quality, which means better results in fewer visits. Even the best laser machines need more than one visit to achieve maximum results because the hair follicle needs to be in the right growth phase to be successfully “disabled,” but you shouldn’t need to come in more than a handful of times to get results. Beware the discount places that require 20+ sessions to achieve results—they often don’t work and are just a waste of your money. On paper it may look like a great deal (you can go so many times for such little money!), but in the end you’re committing far more time to end up disappointed.

One Bride's Review of Byōōdē Bar

When it comes to beauty, I'm pretty much the most low maintenance girl on the planet. I wear makeup maybe twice a year, I live for my activewear, and I take 5 minutes flat to get ready. I'm also incredibly frugal, spending most of my money on my family instead of myself.

But when I was planning my wedding for August, 2018, I knew my usual routine just wasn't going to cut it. And the truth was that I always wanted to try tinting my eyebrows and getting eyelash extensions, but have never found the right "excuse" to splurge. Well, what better time than your own wedding, amirite?

Sugaring

Like we covered in April's blog post, sugaring is a gentle and effective method of hair removal that uses actual sugar, lemon, and hot water to get the job done. Sugaring sticks to the hair but not to the skin, making it a less painful option over waxing and with results that typically last longer. Plus, it's safe for virtually any part of your body!
