The 10 best brow specialists in Edinburgh

Facials and advanced skin treatments are available at Sleeping Beauty Salon’s Edinburgh locations, including its Alva Street salon. Clients can also book massage, nails and IPL, making the salon suitable for individual appointments as well as broader beauty routines.

The Edinburgh offer includes CACI, Dermatech microneedling and professional facial technology for concerns involving skin texture, facial tone and renewal. Body contouring and hair reduction are also listed among the advanced options. Platinum membership works as a monthly beauty budget, crediting payments to an account that can be spent on treatments while eligible visits receive member pricing.

Brow shaping, waxing, tinting and lamination are available at the Benefit Cosmetics Brow Bar Counter in Boots Edinburgh St James Quarter. The counter’s services include brow wax and tint, brow tweeze and lip or chin waxing.

A brow appointment can begin with a consultation and mapping to establish the intended shape, followed by waxing or tinting. The counter also provides access to Benefit makeup and skincare, with product guidance alongside beauty treatments. Services include brow wax, brow wax and tint, and brow lamination, with brow mapping before treatment available. Opening hours run six days a week, with shorter Sunday hours.

Yota Terzi Beauty Specialist provides microblading, semi-permanent makeup, brow lamination, lash lifts and scalp micropigmentation. Microblading creates hair-like brow strokes, while brow lamination shapes and polishes the brows. Scalp micropigmentation uses pigment-filled dots to create the appearance of a closely shaved head or camouflage hair loss, and is suitable for men and women.

Each microblading appointment includes a consultation and patch test, with advice on aftercare and touch-ups. Results typically last 12 to 18 months, depending on skin type, lifestyle and aftercare. The specialist also offers free microblading to people who have lost eyebrows through chemotherapy or alopecia, subject to a doctor’s note confirming diagnosis and treatment. Free microblading services to individuals who have lost their eyebrows due to chemotherapy or alopecia are offered through this initiative.

Brows by Jenna shapes, waxes and tints eyebrows in a home salon, using brow mapping to create a more symmetrical result. The service suits people wanting defined brows, including first-time clients who would like each step explained before treatment begins.

Treatments can also include LVL lash lifts and hybrid signature brows. Jenna discusses the preferred colour and explains the process as it happens, giving clients control over the final look in a private, dedicated room at home.

Brow shaping and lash treatments are the focus at Velvet Brows, alongside microblading and powder brows. Threading can shape and define brows, while the salon also offers permanent make-up for sparse, thin or misshapen eyebrows. Its treatment menu therefore suits both a subtle maintenance appointment and a longer-term brow enhancement.

Permanent make-up begins with a consultation, skin and eyebrow assessment, a patch test and a discussion of suitable options before treatment. Brow mapping uses measuring, drawing thread and a symmetry ruler to shape the result around the client’s features. The salon runs appointments Tuesday to Saturday, with later opening on Thursdays. Children under seven cannot accompany clients to appointments, and patch tests must be booked online.
