TINTING & WAXING

Brow and lip tinting, waxing, and shaping finish off a look and hold up between color and cut appointments. At Kimberly Messing Hair Design in Braintree, MA, these services are quick, precise, and easy to add onto a longer appointment or book entirely on their own, whenever you need a quick refresh.

Our senior stylists handle tinting and waxing with the same attention to shape and symmetry they bring to color and cutting work, so your brows are shaped to fit your face rather than a generic template. Kim Messing, our owner and Board-Certified Color Specialist, formulates every brow and lash tint to match your natural coloring, and will adjust the shade if your hair color changes at your next color appointment.

Shaping That Fits Your Face

Brow shape changes how the rest of your face reads, which is why we treat waxing as a shaping service, not a quick strip-and-go. Your stylist looks at your natural brow line, your face shape, and how your brows have been shaped in the past before making any changes, so a first visit is usually more conservative than a maintenance visit once your shape is established.

Lip and chin waxing use the same gentle, precise approach, and we always patch-test new clients with sensitive skin before a full service. Tinting is formulated to your natural hair and brow color so the result looks like your own coloring, only more defined, rather than an obviously artificial shade.

Tinting & Waxing FAQs

How long does brow or lip waxing take?

Most waxing services take 10 to 15 minutes. They're easy to add onto a color or cut appointment, or book as a quick stand-alone visit.

How long does a brow tint last?

A brow tint typically lasts 3 to 4 weeks before it starts to fade, depending on your skin and how often you cleanse the area. Many clients pair tinting with their regular color visit to stay on the same schedule.

Does waxing hurt?

There's a brief pinch during waxing itself, but it passes quickly. We use technique and product suited to sensitive skin, and will tell you what to expect before we start.

Can I get my brows tinted and waxed in the same visit?

Yes, tinting and shaping are commonly done together in one appointment, and it's often the most efficient way to book if you want both.

How should I prepare before a wax?

Let the hair grow to at least a quarter inch so the wax can grip it properly, and avoid retinol or exfoliating products on the area for a day or two beforehand to reduce sensitivity.

Can I add waxing onto my color or cut appointment?

Yes. Most clients add a brow wax or tint onto a color or cut visit rather than making a separate trip, since the service only takes a few extra minutes. Mention it when you book so we can plan the appointment time accordingly.
