Henna Brows

Henna brows use a plant-derived dye to color both the brow hairs and the skin underneath, giving you the appearance of fuller, more defined brows that look as though they have been softly penciled in. The key difference between henna and a standard chemical tint is that henna stains the skin beneath the hair, filling in sparse areas and creating a shadow effect that mimics the look of brow makeup — without any daily effort.

At Urban Brows, our artists custom-mix each henna shade to complement your skin tone and hair color. The paste is applied precisely along the brow shape, left to develop for 10 to 15 minutes, and then removed to reveal rich, warm color. The skin stain typically lasts one to two weeks, while the hair color holds for four to six weeks depending on your skin type, oil production, and skincare routine.

Henna brows are a standout choice for clients who have gaps, over-plucked areas, or naturally light brows and want a filled-in look without microblading or daily pencil work. The formula is plant-based and free from harsh oxidants like peroxide, making it a gentler alternative for people who are cautious about chemical exposure. That said, we always recommend a patch test 24 hours before your appointment if you have never used henna before.

The treatment works beautifully on its own or layered with a lamination for the ultimate brow transformation. It is one of the fastest-growing services across our four Edmonton locations, and our clients consistently say the skin-stain effect is what keeps them coming back.
