Instyle Brows

Instyle Brows is located in Building 100, Suite 20 of ASuite Salon on Preston Road in Plano. The studio works by appointment only, and bookings are made online through Vagaro with a card on file. The business says it takes pride in giving every client personal attention, and it reports a large male clientele, with its eyebrow artists trained to shape men's brows.

Threading removes hair from the root using 100% cotton thread. It is comparable to tweezing, with a pinching or light scraping feeling. Results typically last about three to four weeks, varying with individual hair growth. Clients can specify the brow shape and thickness they want and should tell the esthetician before the service begins. The business states that threading does not make hair grow back thicker or darker, and that hair becomes finer over time. Redness or small bumps can occur and usually settle within 15 to 20 minutes; the business suggests cold water on the face afterward rather than aloe or lotion, and a cold compress followed by hydrocortisone for irritation.

YUMiLashes lifts and boosts natural lashes without falsies. The effect lasts up to three months. It is not a perm, not lash extensions, and not a lash growth formula or mascara. The business describes its results as striking and says the technology has no equivalent elsewhere; these are its own claims. Clients who wear lash extensions must have them removed three to five days ahead. Waterproof mascara and lash curling should be avoided for five days before, and no eye makeup should be worn on the day. A waiver is required before the treatment begins.

Aftercare for YUMiLashes runs for 48 hours: no water or mascara on the lashes, no steam, heavy sweating or hair washing at home, and no lash serums, extensions or eye creams. The face is cleaned with oil-free makeup remover wipes. Clients are advised to wash their hair before the appointment because washing is restricted afterward.

Brows are shaped to the client's own choice of shape and thickness, and the studio describes its service as personal.
