Precise brow shaping and colour-matched tinting for perfectly polished brows in a single appointment. Beauty Beehive, 101 St Georges Road, Glasgow.
The brow wax and tint is a classic beauty treatment that combines the precision of warm wax shaping with the definition of a colour-matched tint, delivering beautifully groomed, polished brows in under 30 minutes. It is one of the most popular maintenance treatments at Obsidian Clinics, located inside Beauty Beehive at 101 St Georges Road, Glasgow G3 6JA, and is suitable for virtually every client type.
During the wax, unwanted brow hairs are removed cleanly from above, below, and between the brows using a warm, gentle wax suited to facial skin. The shape is carefully tailored to your facial structure and personal preference, whether you prefer a bold arched look, a soft natural shape, or a clean, straight brow. The tint is then applied and colour-matched to your hair and skin tone, filling in any gaps and adding depth to the brow.
The result is a frame for your face that looks polished and intentional without being overdone. Regular brow wax and tint appointments every 4–6 weeks keep brows looking their best between more involved treatments such as brow lamination or semi-permanent makeup.
Your technician discusses the ideal brow shape for your face and agrees on a tint colour that best complements your hair colour and skin tone.
The chosen tint colour is mixed and carefully applied to the brow hair and surrounding skin. A tint applied before waxing gives maximum colour saturation and skin stain where needed.
The tint is left to develop for the appropriate time to achieve the desired depth of colour, from soft and natural to bold and defined.
The tint is gently removed using a damp cotton pad to reveal the new colour underneath. Any skin stain from the tint fades within 24–48 hours.
Warm wax is applied precisely above and below the brow line to remove all unwanted hairs. The shape is refined and stray hairs between the brows are addressed.
A soothing gel or lotion is applied to calm the skin after waxing. Final tweaks are made to perfect the shape, and brows are brushed into their finished position.
The brow tint typically lasts 4–6 weeks on the brow hairs themselves, fading gradually as the hair grows and sheds. The skin stain component (which adds definition between hairs) usually fades within 1–2 weeks. Regular treatments every 4–6 weeks maintain consistent colour and definition.
Both waxing and threading are effective brow shaping methods, and the choice is largely personal preference. Waxing removes multiple hairs quickly and cleanly, making it efficient and well-suited to combination treatments. It is generally not recommended for clients using retinol or other skin-sensitising products. Threading is a purely mechanical method that carries no chemical risk. We offer waxing as part of our brow wax and tint service at Obsidian Glasgow.
We offer a full range of tint shades from lightest blonde through to dark brown and black. Your technician will mix shades as needed to create the perfect match for your natural hair colour and skin tone. We can also go slightly darker than your natural colour for a more defined result if preferred.
We recommend booking every 4–6 weeks. This interval aligns with the natural hair growth cycle, ensures regrowth is manageable between appointments, and keeps the tint colour consistently fresh. Clients with faster hair growth may prefer to book closer to 4 weeks.
If you have microblading, powder brows, or any other SPMU in the brow area, you should wait at least 4–6 weeks after the procedure has fully healed before undergoing waxing or tinting in that area. Tinting before microblading is fine and can be a useful step in the brow design process — just let your technician know your plans.
