10 Common Mistakes Brow Artists Make (And How to Avoid Them)

Let’s be real—even the best artists make mistakes. We are human you know.

The trick is learning from them (or better yet, avoiding them entirely). Whether you’re a newbie or a seasoned pro, here are 10 common mistakes and how to dodge them like the brow boss you are.

1. Over-Processing or Under-Processing Treatments

Timing is everything! Leaving the perming solution on too long or not long enough can lead to disappointing results. Use a timer, do brow & lash hair checks and follow the steps like your career depends on it—because it kinda does.

2. Choosing the Wrong Color

Not every client needs a deep black or a warm brown. Learn to assess undertones and skin tones. (Hint: My eBook on Bronsun coloristics will make this a breeze.)

3. Skipping the Patch Test

Yes, it takes extra time, but allergic reactions take even more. Save yourself (and your client) the headache by always patch testing on the new clients.

4. Using Cheap Tools

Everything that has a chemical compound to it - matters and it cannot be untested wild imports. That being said - I do like me some disposables, such as micro brushes from Temu. Don't get be started on their decor and organising items too.

5. Forgetting to Educate Your Clients

Clients love to know why you’re doing what you’re doing. Explain the process and aftercare. Bonus: This builds trust and loyalty.

6. Not Practicing Enough

Every great artist started with a shaky brush. Practice, practice, practice until you’re confident in your technique.

7. Neglecting Aftercare Products

Clients need aftercare to maintain those perfect brows. Promote Bronsun’s Care Line to keep their results fresh and flawless - psss. you can pack the Conditioner or Color Fixing lotion into smaller tins and either sell them or gift them to your clients.

8. Overlooking Your Own Education

The beauty industry evolves fast. Stay ahead by investing in courses and resources.

9. Pricing Yourself Too Low

You’re worth it. Charge what your time, skill, and products are truly worth. Clients who value quality will pay for it.

10. Not Marketing Your Work

If you’re not showing your magic on social media, you’re missing out. Showcase those flawless brows and happy clients to attract new business.

Pro Tip: Avoid All These Mistakes

How? By using high-quality Bronsun products, educating yourself with my eBooks and courses, and staying confident in your abilities. Trust me—you’ve got this!
