“How often should I be coming in?” is one of the most frequently asked questions at Ziba Beauty. It’s a reasonable question, and the truth is that, unlike most beauty services, it varies more by individual. Here’s how to determine the ideal brow schedule.
On average, every three to four weeks
The majority of clients maintain consistently clean, defined, and well-shaped brows with eyebrow threading every three to four weeks. This corresponds with a normal hair growth cycle: most facial hair has a growth phase of about 4–6 weeks, but hairs grow at staggered intervals, so at about 3 weeks, you’ll start to see noticeable regrowth, particularly above and below the brow line.
Factors Influencing Your Own Timeline
Rate of Hair Growth
The largest variable is this one. Some clients have dense, rapidly growing brow hair, and after two weeks, there is noticeable regrowth. Others can easily wait five to six weeks between appointments and have fine, slow-growing hair. After a few visits, you’ll understand your own cycle; most clients have a clear idea of their ideal schedule after two or three visits.
How Well-Defined Your Eyebrows Are
You should visit every two to three weeks if you want your brows to be extremely clean, sharp, and free of visible stray hairs. Every four to six weeks is ideal if you want a slightly more relaxed, fuller look with texture and natural volume. This will actually allow your brow hairs to grow in fuller over time.
Whether You Take Care of It at Home
Customers frequently discover that they can extend appointments to four to five weeks without their brows appearing messy if they use the Ziba Brow Crayon for daily touch-ups and perform some tweezing maintenance in between visits. Knowing which hairs to touch and which to leave is crucial; during your appointment, our artists will be pleased to show you the “safe zones” for home maintenance.
Your Calendar of Services and Events
Make your threading appointment five to seven days in advance of any upcoming events, such as weddings, photo shoots, reunions, or other gatherings. This allows your brows to “settle” into their shape and any slight redness to completely go away.
What Happens If You Wait Too Long?
Your appointment will take a little longer if it has been more than eight weeks since your last threading because your artist will be evaluating regrowth patterns and reestablishing the shape. This is not an issue for clients who have maintained a regular schedule because your artist is familiar with your ideal shape and can effectively replicate it. There might be a short adjustment period for new clients who have experienced significant regrowth as you settle into your ideal shape over the course of two to three visits.
“Too long between appointments doesn’t exist; we just make do with what is available.” However, over time, the most attractive brows are always those of regular clients. Ziba Artist
Our Suggestion Based on Brow Type
- Fast growers / very defined look: Every 2–3 weeks
- Average growth / balanced look: Every 3–4 weeks
- Slow growers / fuller natural look: Every 4–6 weeks
- Growing out over-tweezed brows: Every 5–8 weeks, removing only strays
Asking your Ziba artist at your next appointment is the best way to determine your own schedule. Instead of just providing you with a broad timeline, they can examine your hair growth pattern and provide you with a customized recommendation based on what they observe.
Book your next Ziba appointment and ask your artist about the right schedule for your brows.
