THE 60-SECOND VERSION
Hiring an eyebrow tint therapist in five steps
- Are you a trader, and can I see that in writing?No register covers eyebrow tint therapist work, so trader status is what your consumer rights hang on — custom Colour Matching — professionals often offer custom colour matching to complement the client's hair and skin tone.
- How does salon's location change the price?A mobile service brings everything with it, and that costs. — ask before the quote rather than after.
- How does technician's experience change the price?The cheapest quote is rarely the most experienced one. — ask before the quote rather than after.
- How does products used change the price?The quantity needed is worked out before the quote is given. — ask before the quote rather than after.
- What is not included?Eyebrow tinting typically does not include shaping or waxing of the brows — get the exclusions named in the quote, because a eyebrow tint therapist job is priced on what was agreed and not on what was assumed.
BEFORE YOU BOOK
Check before you book
No register applies
NO REGISTER APPLIES TO HAIRDRESSERS, BARBERS, BEAUTICIANS OR NAIL TECHNICIANS. Anyone may trade. The line that does exist is medicines: anything involving a PRESCRIPTION-ONLY MEDICINE — botulinum toxin above all — may only be prescribed by a registered prescriber, and that is a medical matter rather than a beauty one. A clinic offering injectables with no named prescriber is the single clearest warning sign in this family.
Look for the trader badge and the ID-checked badge on the Locufy profile — both are checked by us, not claimed by the provider.
What to check instead
For injectables, WHO PRESCRIBES — a named, registered prescriber who has seen you, not a prescription arranged remotely for someone they have never met; For any treatment that breaks the skin, what is single-use and what is sterilised; A patch test before colour or lash work, and enough time before an event; The training and the insurer for the specific treatment, not the salon generally; What the aftercare is and who you call out of hours if something goes wrong; Photographs of their own work on hair or skin like yours.
Ask for each of these before you agree a price, and get the answers in the same message as the quote.
Insurance
Expect treatment-specific professional indemnity — a policy for facials may exclude needles entirely. From a company, ask for the insurer, the limit and the VAT number, and ask who actually attends: the team that turns up may be employed, subcontracted or both, and only one of those is supervised by the firm you are paying.
Ask to see the current certificate of insurance — the insurer's name, the limit and the date it runs to.
Trader or private seller
Under the Consumer Rights Act 2022 a trader must tell you they are a trader, and your consumer rights — work carried out with reasonable skill and care, and a cooling-off period on a contract agreed in your home or online — apply to traders and not to private sellers. On Locufy the trader status is shown on the profile.
Look for the trader badge on the Locufy profile, and ask anyone else for it in writing before you agree a price.
VAT
VAT at 13.5%, the reduced rate Revenue publishes for this service. Ask whether the price you were given includes it. A trader under the €42,500 registration threshold does not charge it; one over it must, and must show it separately.
Ask whether the figure you were given includes it, and for the VAT number if they are registered — Revenue publishes the rate for this service. revenue.ie →

- Agree what is being doneTechnician's experience — the cheapest quote is rarely the most experienced one — put in writing before anyone starts, because it is the document you both read back at the end.
- The work itselfProducts used — the quantity needed is worked out before the quote is given — and anything found on the day that was not in that is priced before it is started.
- Check it togetherComplexity of the desired look — the more the brief departs from the usual, the more it costs — walked against the written scope rather than against the feeling of it, while the eyebrow tint therapist is still there.

AFTER
When the job is done
Hiring an eyebrow tint therapist: questions people ask
The cost of eyebrow tinting can vary based on the salon's location, the technician's experience, and the products used. Premium brands and organic options may also increase the price.
A typical eyebrow tinting session lasts about 30 minutes, including preparation, application, and aftercare advice. However, the exact duration may vary based on individual needs and salon practices.
Availability for emergency or same-day eyebrow tinting depends on the salon's schedule. Many salons offer walk-in services, but it's best to call ahead to confirm.
Yes, many salons allow clients to book multiple beauty services in one appointment. This can often lead to package deals or discounts, so it's worth inquiring when making a booking.
Eyebrow tinting typically does not include shaping or waxing of the brows. These services are often offered separately, so be sure to ask if you wish to combine them.
