Eyebrows for men: plucking, threading or tinting, which one suits you?

Eyebrow treatment for a man at Die Männer Werkstatt

Bushy, uneven or grown together in the middle: eyebrows stand out on a face more than many men think. A little order is usually enough, and the result doesn’t look like cosmetics, just like an alert face. Here you can read how plucking, threading, waxing and tinting differ, what the methods cost with us and how often to come back.

Should men get their eyebrows done?

You don’t have to. But it’s worth it if stray hairs between the brows or an untidy shape bother you. The goal isn’t a sweeping arch but a clean, strong shape that suits your face. With light or grey brows, a little colour brings the contour back. In a studio just for men, you don’t have to explain yourself.

Plucking, threading, waxing or tinting: the differences

  • Plucking: the hairs are removed one by one with tweezers. That suits fine work on the arch and between the brows. With us, plucking is part of “eyebrow shaping”: €20, 20 minutes.
  • Threading: a thread removes the hairs in a line. Our description calls the method gentle and effective, and other annoying hairs on the face can be removed this way too. “Eyebrow Threading”: €25, 10 minutes.
  • Waxing: the wax takes many hairs at once, which is quick. Men’s waxing, eyebrows: €20, 10 minutes.
  • Tinting: the brows get your colour of choice or the shade that suits you best. Eyebrow tinting: €16, 10 minutes.

Which method suits you?

  • You want to get rid of a few stray hairs: eyebrow shaping.
  • You want a clear edge and to take care of other hairs on the face at the same time: threading.
  • Your brows are light or grey: eyebrow tinting, with shaping on request for €30 (20 minutes).
  • You want shape and colour in one go: “Eyebrow Colour Threading”, €35 (20 minutes).

If you’re unsure, tell your beautician how natural it should stay, and you decide on the shape together.

How the appointment works

First you talk through what you want. For treatments with colour, you choose the shade together with your beautician. Then the brows are shaped and, if booked, tinted. Depending on the treatment, that takes 10 to 20 minutes.

How often should you have your eyebrows done?

For threading, our description says the session is repeated about every four to six weeks, depending on how fast your hair grows. The same applies to the other methods: how fast the hairs come back sets the rhythm. Your beautician will tell you which one suits you after the first appointment.

Eyebrows and beard in one appointment

With “Eyebrow & Beard Threading” you get eyebrows and beard shaped with the thread in one appointment: €30, 30 minutes. If you’re coming to Amalienstraße for Hair & Beard anyway, you can add the eyebrows there as an extra.

More than brows: lashes and microblading

Lashes go well with brows: lash tinting costs €18 (20 minutes), the lash lift “Pimp your wimp” €69 (50 minutes). If your brows have gaps, have a look at microblading for men : €495, 150 minutes.

Eyebrows at both studios

Eyebrows are available at Wilhelmstraße 32 in Schwabing and at Amalienstraße 41 in Maxvorstadt. You book online, straight from the treatment of your choice.

Frequently asked questions

How do men look after their eyebrows at home?

Brush the brows in the direction of growth with a small brush and carefully trim hairs that are too long with small scissors. Only pluck individual stray hairs between the brows. It’s better not to set the line of the arch yourself, leave that to the studio.

What does it cost for a man to have his eyebrows plucked or tinted?

Eyebrow shaping costs €20 with us (20 minutes), eyebrow tinting €16 (10 minutes), both together €30 (20 minutes). Threading is €25 (10 minutes).

Which is better: plucking or threading?

Both shape the brows. Plucking suits fine work on single hairs. Threading removes hairs in a line with a thread and is described by us as a gentle method. You decide which one suits you at the appointment.

How long does the result last?

That depends on how fast your hair grows back. For threading, the session is repeated about every four to six weeks.

Can I have my eyebrows and beard done in one appointment?

Yes. “Eyebrow & Beard Threading” shapes eyebrows and beard with the thread: €30, 30 minutes. With Hair & Beard, the eyebrows are also available as an extra at Amalienstraße.
