Brow lamination is a salon treatment that sets your own brow hairs brushed up and in position, so the brow looks fuller, neater and more even; it does not add hair where there is none. At kruLA brow lamination takes 1 h.
kruLA does brow lamination in Century City for $110: call (949) 883-8301.
What is brow lamination?
Brow lamination is a treatment that changes the direction and set of your natural brow hairs so they lie in the shape you choose.
kruLA describes it as smoothing and repositioning natural brow hairs into a fuller, more symmetrical shape. You can ask for a bold, fluffy finish or a polished, clean one.
How is brow lamination done?
The specialist cleans the brows, brushes the hairs into the new position, applies a lifting solution to soften them, then a setting solution to fix them in place.
The steps follow the same order at most salons:
- The brows are cleansed and the shape is planned with you.
- A lifting solution goes on and the hairs are brushed up and into position.
- A setting solution fixes the hairs in that position, and the product is removed.
- A nourishing step, a tint or shaping can follow, depending on the salon.
How long does brow lamination take?
At kruLA the brow lamination session takes 1 h.

How long does each brow appointment take?
At kruLA brow shaping takes 30 min, brow shaping with tint 1 h and brow lamination 1 h.
The Ultimate Lash & Brow Glow-Up combo of brow lamination and a lash lift takes 2 h. The prices page lists the session time next to every price.
Do they shape your eyebrows during lamination?
Lamination sets the hairs you have in a chosen direction and outline; the removal of stray hairs is shaping, which is its own service.
At kruLA shaping by wax or tweezers is part of brow shaping and tint, $20 for 30 min. Ask for both when you book if you want a cleaner outline together with the lamination.
Is brow lamination good for sparse eyebrows?
It helps sparse brows look fuller by lifting and spreading the hairs you have, and it cannot create hair where there is none.
If there are gaps with no hair, a tint can define the shape. Pigment placed in the skin, such as microblading, is a different method that kruLA does not offer; brow lamination vs microblading sets them side by side.
What is brow illumination?

Can I do brow lamination at home?
Home kits exist, and the difference is control: the solutions sit close to the eye and the timing decides whether the hair sets well or turns brittle.
