The six common shapes
Where a brow starts, arches and ends
- Start: in line with the side of your nose
- Arch: roughly above the outer edge of the iris
- Tail: on the line from your nose past the outer corner of your eye
Face shape: a starting point
| Face shape | Starting point |
|---|---|
| Round | A soft, slightly higher arch adds length. |
| Oval | Most shapes work; a soft arch keeps it balanced. |
| Square | Curved or soft-arched brows soften a strong jaw. |
| Heart | A low, rounded arch balances a wider forehead. |
| Long | Straighter, flatter brows shorten the face. |
Keep your natural shape
“I was nervous about losing too much thickness, but they listened perfectly and kept my natural shape while cleaning up all the stray hairs.”
How to ask for it
Say clean-up or reshape. Bring a photo if you have one. Your threader talks the shape through with you first. Nothing comes off until you say go.
“So consistent. Takes her time. So communicative.”
Growing brows back in?
Skip tweezing between visits and let your threader shape the regrowth.
