"I want my brows to be symmetrical"

​When performing a consultation for a client looking for an eyebrow enhancement, and discussing the expectations for the treatment, one request is almost always asked:
“Can you make my brows symmetrical?”

Symmetry has long been seen as an example of beauty, and many models and celebrities are hailed for their mirror-image good looks. In reality however, a perfectly symmetrical face does not exist, and no two sides of the face are the same, even for the rich and famous. Look closely enough at a portrait image, and you’ll see the subtle differences between left and right - a rounder eye socket, or a stronger jawline perhaps. One side of the face is often slightly wider than the other side, or one eye positioned slightly lower or higher. Take a mirror image of both halves of your face in a photo, and you may find that your character is made up of two entirely different people!
All of these factors contribute to the look of the eyebrows and what can be achieved in a treatment. Whilst a good technician will take precise measurements of your brows in order to position the enhancement and achieve as much balance as possible, the canvas of your face will dictate how symmetrical the result will be.

So my answer to that client question will always be, with true honesty:
“No I can’t, because your brows are sisters, not twins. But I can definitely help stop them from looking like distant relatives!”
