The Brow & Lip Authority of Melbourne

By Ira Bale Founder, Ira Bale Brows – South Yarra & Toorak Village, Melbourne If you’ve got grey hairs in your brows and feel like the tint “just doesn’t work anymore,” you’re not imagining it. Grey and white brows are notoriously stubborn  when it comes to tinting — they often resist colour, fade quickly, or don’t change at all. But why? And more importantly — what can you do about it? Let’s talk about it. Transform your look with the Hybrid Tint by the Ira Bale Brows team i

By Ira Bale Founder, Ira Bale Brows – South Yarra & Toorak Village, Melbourne Let’s talk about the truth no one wants to admit: your lash lift doesn’t just “wear off” — it gets sabotaged. By your skincare. By your sweat. By the way you sleep.And especially by Melbourne’s summer humidity. At Ira Bale Brows , we do more Lash Lifts than we can count — and yes, they hold up beautifully even in January heatwaves… if you know what you’re doing. This post is your cheat sheet for kee

By Ira Bale Founder, Ira Bale Brows – South Yarra & Toorak Village, Melbourne Let’s get this straight first: Brow tint and brow dye are not  the same thing. Yet most people — and sadly, even some salons — use the words interchangeably. That’s how you end up with disappointing results, especially if you have grey hairs, sparse patches, or brows that fade after 48 hours. At Ira Bale Brows , we offer both tint and dye — but if you’re looking for longer-lasting colour, fuller sha

By Ira Bale Founder, Ira Bale Brows – South Yarra & Toorak Village, Melbourne Let’s be honest: Tinting your brows every few weeks might’ve made sense five years ago. But if you’re reading this now, chances are you’ve started asking: “Is this really worth the time anymore?” Because tinting fades. It washes out. It leaves you back at square one after every sweaty workout or beach day. Here’s the truth: Brow tint is a great start — but it’s not the finish line. And when your lif

By Ira Bale Founder, Ira Bale Brows – South Yarra & Toorak Village, Melbourne You finally spot them. A few wiry grey strands in your brows. A little coarser, a little more stubborn. You book a brow tint, hoping for an easy fix — but by Day 3, the colour’s already faded. Sound familiar? You're not imagining it. Grey brows really do  behave differently. They’re more resistant, more unpredictable, and much harder to tint with off-the-shelf solutions. But don’t worry — we’re not

By Ira Bale Founder, Ira Bale Brows – South Yarra & Toorak Village, Melbourne Let’s get real: Not every brow should be laminated. And definitely not every month. But social media doesn’t want to hear that — because #browlam is trending, and laminated brows are “in.” We see it all the time at Ira Bale Brows . Clients come in thinking lamination is the miracle fix for sparse, unruly brows. And in some cases — it is. But when done wrong, brow lamination doesn’t just fall flat… i

By Ira Bale Founder, Ira Bale Brows – South Yarra & Toorak Village, Melbourne There’s nothing more frustrating than getting your brows tattooed… only to watch them fade into something completely different six months later. Ashy grey. Orangey red. Even greenish tones . We hear it all the time at Ira Bale Brows  — usually from women who’ve had their brows done elsewhere and are looking for help correcting the fade. So let’s talk about it. Fading isn’t a flaw of cosmetic tattooi

By Ira Bale Founder, Ira Bale Brows – South Yarra & Toorak Village, Melbourne Let’s be clear from the start: Home brow tinting is not harmless. It’s not “just a quick fix” or “the same as the salon stuff.” Every week at Ira Bale Brows , someone comes in with stained skin, brittle brows, or uneven patches and sheepishly says, “I tinted them myself.” And every week, we see the aftermath: sensitised skin, incorrect tones, and in many cases, weakened brow hair over time . This po

By Ira Bale Founder, Ira Bale Brows – South Yarra & Toorak Village, Melbourne Threading vs waxing: it’s the eyebrow equivalent of skincare’s “retinol vs peptides.” Everyone has a preference — but most don’t understand why . At Ira Bale Brows in South Yarra and Toorak Village, we offer both threading and waxing  — but here’s the truth: Threading is the superior method for precision, sensitivity, and long-term skin health. That’s why it’s our go-to for clients who care about cl
