What it is

A small, private brow studio in a spare room at home, offering threading, waxing, shaping and tinting by appointment.

Your first three steps

  1. Complete a recognised brow shaping, threading and tinting course with a certificate
  2. Set up a clean, well-lit treatment space and buy your kit, then check the room is suitable with your landlord, lender or council
  3. Price your treatments against local salons and offer introductory slots to friends and neighbours for reviews
Who pays

Local women and men wanting regular brow tidy-ups, often rebooking every few weeks.

How it makes money

A set price per treatment, with add-ons such as tinting. Regular clients rebooking every 3 to 6 weeks build steady income.
