Imagine the situation when a client walks into your salon and has extremely thick and wide eyebrows... what do you do? Do you run home? Do you ask her out and say that urgent family matters have fallen out? Well no... you can't do that. You are a professional eyebrow stylist and you should pick up the gauntlet. Contrary to what you may think, wide eyebrows don't have to be difficult to handle at all. Remember, you have the knowledge, skills and tools to create a style that will please your client!

Do wide eyebrows limit the possibilities for eyebrow styling?

A client's wide eyebrows can be a real opportunity for amazing styling, but also quite a challenge. If they are dense and grow irregularly, you'll have trouble getting the perfect shape. Of course, that doesn't mean it's completely impossible to do the styling.

You just need to devote enough time and attention, and then the work will bring fruitful results that both you and your client will be satisfied with. When it comes to wide eyebrows, we would like to point out to you some of the difficulties you are likely to encounter during the styling service:

  • a wide hairline makes it difficult to mark a sharp lower eyebrow border;
  • dense eyebrows may have clearances that are invisible at first glance;
  • styling takes longer by having to clean up the shape more thoroughly;
  • intense pigmentation can look too heavy on a wide area;
  • hairs are often too stiff or grow in multiple directions.

When working with wide eyebrows, a personalized approach is paramount. You need a good plan of action, even if the matter seems simple to you. Only then will you be able to give them the right shape and make the styling so that it is light, expressive and does not overly narrow the client's eyebrows.

How to tame wide eyebrows during styling? 3 practical tips

Wide eyebrows can look great, but only if they are well matched to the shape of the face and properly styled. If you exaggerate their volume or color, they can overwhelm your features and add years.

#1 First.

Pay attention to the proportions of your face. If you have a petite face, too wide eyebrows can dominate it and look unnatural. In this case, it's better to slim them down slightly - this will give you a more harmonious look and more subtle features.

#2 Second...

Gently thin them. When the eyebrows are very thick, just pluck a few individual hairs in different places. Don't do it in a single line, so as not to create holes - 2-5 hairs less can visually "slim down" the eyebrows.

#3 Third...

Use a colorless gel. If your eyebrows are thick, dark and without translucency, you don't need to paint them. Just line them with a gel that will keep them in place all day and add a neat look.

Remember that sometimes less is more. Instead of turning your eyebrows into the dominant point of your face, go for a natural highlight. Styling doesn't have to be complicated. Sometimes all it takes is a slight correction in shape and a slight thinning, and your client will look stunning!
