How to Remove Hairs Between the Eyebrows Safely and Precisely

The area between the eyebrows may be small, but it plays a key role in shaping a clear, expressive look. Unwanted hairs in this zone can make the face look tired or unkempt. At the same time, the skin here is particularly sensitive, so improper removal can lead to redness, ingrown hairs, or asymmetry. At MONLIS School in Munich, we teach professionals how to treat this area carefully, safely, and effectively.

Why Removing Hair Between the Brows Matters

The so-called "glabella zone" (between the eyebrows) significantly influences facial symmetry and expression. If this area isn’t regularly cleaned up, the expression may appear harsh or untidy. Especially during professional services such as brow shaping, tinting, or lamination, a clean glabella area is essential.

Hair Removal Methods – Pros and Cons

1. Tweezers
The classic method for precise removal of individual hairs. Ideal for small corrections and sensitive skin.
Pros: very precise, minimal irritation
Cons: time-consuming, not ideal for dense hair

2. Waxing (hot or cold wax)
Removes multiple hairs quickly and is commonly used in salons.
Pros: fast, smooth skin for up to 3 weeks
Cons: may cause irritation; requires skill for use on small areas

3. Threading
A popular salon method that removes even the finest hairs and creates crisp lines.
Pros: highly precise, good for sensitive skin
Cons: requires proper training and practice

4. Hair Removal Creams
Not recommended for the glabella zone. The skin here is too sensitive for chemical depilation.
MONLIS Tip: Avoid any chemical depilatory products near the eyes!

Skin Preparation Before Hair Removal

At MONLIS School, we emphasize proper preparation before any hair removal:

• Clean the area thoroughly (remove makeup, sweat, oil).

• Disinfect the skin to prevent breakouts.

• Gently stretch the skin during waxing or threading to reduce discomfort.

• Avoid exfoliating just before the treatment, as this can increase sensitivity.

Step-by-Step Guide: Removing Hairs Between the Brows with Tweezers

1. Check the lighting – natural daylight or a professional lamp is best.

2. Define the brow shape – draw guiding lines or use mapping tools to maintain symmetry.

3. Stretch the skin – helps reduce pain and improves grip.

4. Pluck in the direction of hair growth – never pull against it to avoid trauma.

5. Aftercare – cool the area and apply a soothing gel (e.g., aloe vera). Avoid rubbing.

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them

• Over-plucking – can cause unnatural or uneven shapes.

• No brow mapping – makes it harder to maintain symmetry.

• Plucking against the growth direction – increases risk of ingrown hairs.

• Using unclean tools – always disinfect before and after use.

• Applying makeup immediately after – wait at least 1–2 hours to let the skin rest.

Aftercare Tips for the Glabella Zone

The skin between the brows is delicate. After removing hairs:

• Apply a soothing product (e.g., aloe vera, chamomile).

• Avoid sun exposure for 24 hours.

• Skip makeup and harsh creams for a few hours.

• Always disinfect tools after use to prevent infections.
