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.

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.

Well, what better time than your own wedding, amirite?

Microblading 101: Everything You’ve Wanted to Know

Welcome to Byōōdē Bar’s first blog post!  Come back every month for another post exploring the latest trends, products, and advice in the beauty world.  We thought we’d use this first month to explore the world of microblading because although it’s becoming more well-known, there are still a lot of myths and misconceptions about it.  And with our very own dual-certified microblading technician Ashley on staff, we figured this was a good time to tell you everything you need to know about these semi-permanent eyebrows.

What Is Microblading, Anyway?

If we’re going to explain everything there is to know about microblading, we should probably start with telling you what, exactly, microblading is.  Simply put, microblading is a form of manually tattooing eyebrows.  It’s done with a super-fine blade and the appropriate pigment for your complexion, which gives you hyper-realistic results.  Your technician will etch a pattern of lines that mimic your own hair growth pattern, which results in natural looking hair-like strokes—regardless of how much real hair you started out with.
