Cleaning and shaping is a popular service for those who want to enhance their natural brows by removing excess hair and defining their shape. This guide will cover what the cleaning and shaping service is, the pain levels associated with the procedure, aftercare tips, and what to expect in the first month after getting your brows cleaned and shaped.
What is Cleaning and Shaping?
Cleaning and shaping involves removing excess hair to give your natural brows a more defined shape and clean look. This procedure is ideal for individuals who already have full and well-formed brows and only need minor adjustments to enhance their natural appearance. The process involves tweezing to achieve the desired brow shape.

Does Cleaning and Shaping Hurt?
The level of discomfort during the cleaning and shaping procedure is minimal. Tweezing can cause a mild pinching sensation as individual hairs are removed, but any discomfort is usually brief and well-tolerated.
Aftercare Tips
Proper aftercare can help maintain the results of your cleaning and shaping service and ensure your brows look their best. Here are some key aftercare tips:
- Avoid Touching or Rubbing: Refrain from touching or rubbing your brows to prevent irritation.
- Skip Makeup and Skincare Products: Avoid applying makeup or skincare products to your brows for at least 24 hours post-treatment to prevent clogging pores and irritation.
- Use Soothing Products: Apply aloe vera gel or a gentle, soothing cream to calm the skin if needed.
- Avoid Sun Exposure: Protect your brows from direct sun exposure immediately after the procedure to prevent irritation.
What to Expect in the First Month
The effects of cleaning and shaping can last several weeks, depending on your hair growth cycle and how well you follow the aftercare instructions. Here’s what you can expect in the first month:
- Week 1: Your brows will look well-defined and clean immediately after the procedure. The shape will be precise, and any redness or minor irritation will subside within a day or two.
- Week 2-3: The shape will remain defined, but you may notice some new hair growth starting to appear.
- Week 4: You may need to do minor maintenance, such as tweezing a few stray hairs, to keep your brows looking neat. At this point, you can consider scheduling your next cleaning and shaping appointment.
Cleaning and shaping is an excellent way to maintain a polished and natural brow look with minimal effort.
