Jessie was especially excited to try Yumi Brow Lamination and the results are amazing. Yumi is the first and best keratin brow lamination in the world. It is 100% made in France adhering to the more stringent EU regulations and as a result is hypoallergenic, vegan, cruelty-free, non-toxic, paraben-free, formaldehyde-free and ammonia-free. Brow lamination delicately and accurately grooms your brows into the desired shape and style for up to 8 weeks. This treatment realigns the brow hairs whether you want a full fluffy look or a sleek tamed brow. With brow lamination we create the look of added volume by realigning the hairs over sparse areas. This treatment is great for everyone! Tanna Rae is proud to be exclusively offering Yumi in the Central Coast area.

At the core of everything she does is an unwavering commitment to provide only the most exceptional services in the industry, and we can’t recommend Tanna Rae enough— read below to see what makes this lovely lady GLOW.
