Hi Maya, great question! Think of the golden ratio as more of a guideline of where the brows should be according to your clients facial structure. You can always tweak little things according to your clients preferences though, don't be afraid to work with them. For example, if your client wants a longer tail but it would be outside of the golden ratio standard, I recommend explaining to them that technically this would be outside of what would go with her facial structure but if once you finish the service and she sees the final result if she still feels that way then you can extend the tail about 0.5 - 1mm longer, and go on from there if needed. It is important for your clients to leave happy with their results but never do something you are not comfortable with, always keep control of the appointment and remember YOU are the artist but always work with your clients as well, its all about balance. Keep in mind, even a small change on the brows will make a big difference so do it in small increments. An alternative you can tell them is to wait until the touch up, where you can do any additional changes in the shape, as it is always best to start smaller and more conservative in the initial session. Hopefully this helps and answers your question! Let us know if you need anything else, -MP
why use pencil in the last step instead of mapping line? which should you use on a client?
If I have a client who insists on an eyebrow shape that is not according to golden ratio standard what’s the answer? Can you help me ?
