Get Beautiful Brows at Salon Nia in Cardiff

Quick Takeaways:

The right brow shape can balance your features and enhance your natural beauty.

Different face shapes suit different brow arches and angles.

Our professional brow stylist at Salon Nia will help you find the most flattering shape for you.

Regular maintenance keeps your brows looking their best. 

Brows do so much more than simply 'framing' your face — they play a crucial role in balancing your features, enhancing your eyes and lifting your entire expression.

At Salon Nia, our master brow stylist, Celynen Hamlin, specialises in creating a customised brow shape that harmonises with your unique face shape. Here’s your step-by-step brow shape guide, plus a peek at how we’ll work with you in the salon.

Discover Your Face Shape

To choose the right brow shape, first you'll need to identify your face shape by looking in the mirror:

Round: Your cheeks are the fullest part; the width and length of your face are quite similar.

Oval: Slightly longer than it is wide; soft contouring at the jaw.

Square: Broad forehead and jawline, with strong angles.

Heart: Wider at the forehead, narrowing to a pointed chin.

Long (Rectangular): Your face is noticeably longer than wide.

Diamond: Narrow forehead and chin, widest at the cheekbones.

Now that you've figured out your face shape, we'll look at which brow shapes will suit you.

Brow Styles to Suit Each Face Shape

Here’s how we tailor your brow shape to your face at Salon Nia:

Round Face: Gentle Lifted Arch
Goal: Create the illusion of length and structure. A soft, higher arch helps lift the face and draw attention upward. Flat brows may make the face look fuller, so we avoid flattening the arch.

Oval Face: Classic Soft Angle
Goal: Preserve the natural balance. An oval face is well-proportioned, so we maintain fullness with a subtle arch — enhancing your natural symmetry.

Square Face: Defined Lift, Softened Curve
Goal: Soften the strong jawline. A slightly higher arch and a smooth curve help to soften the overall features, rather than emphasising the angles.

Heart Face: Low, Soft arch
Goal: Draw attention to the eyes, not the wider forehead. A softer, lower arch keeps the focus on your eyes and balances more than competes with your features.

Long/Rectangular Face: Flat, Extended Brow Line
Goal: Visually shorten the face. A straighter brow tail with minimal peak helps make the face appear shorter and wider.

Diamond Face: Rounded or Soft-Arched Brow
Goal: Soften strong cheekbones. A curved brow softens the width at the cheeks, drawing attention to the eye area rather than the widest part of the face.

What to Expect at Your Salon Nia Brow Appointment

At Salon Nia, your brow session with Celynen includes:

A Facial-Analysis Consultation: Assessing bone structure, natural brow growth, skin tone.

Custom Shaping: Using premium techniques (waxing, precise tweezing) to sculpt the perfect arch for you.

Optional Finishing: Brow laminating or grooming to enhance the definition.

After-Care Tips: How to maintain the shape at home, what products to use, how often to book for maintenance.

At-Home Maintenance Tips for Perfect Eyebrows

Keep the area clean and free of stray hairs between visits — use a small spoolie (brow brush) to comb your brows daily.

If you tint your brows, ensure you do a patch test ahead of time (especially if you have sensitive skin).

Avoid over-plucking: less is more when your brow has been professionally shaped.

Book your next appointment before you leave — keeping regular appointments helps maintain the perfect outline and avoids waiting until the shape is lost.
