Standard eyebrow tint didn't work for you. Your brows are so fair or so sparse that the traditional dye barely showed up. You could see a slight difference in the salon mirror but by the time you got home it looked like nothing had changed. Your brows still disappeared without pencil. The gaps between the hairs were still visible. The colour wasn't intense enough to make your brows look defined on their own.
Hybrid eyebrow dye is a different formula designed for exactly this problem. It produces a darker, more intense colour than standard tint, and it stains the skin as well as the hair. That skin staining is what fills in the sparse areas and gaps, creating the appearance of fuller, denser brows even where hair growth is thin. It's the difference between colouring the hairs you have and colouring the whole brow area.
At Aesthete Beauty in Dundee, hybrid eyebrow dye is applied by Radina Ignatova, with over 11 years of experience. She matches the colour to your natural tone and adjusts the application to give you the intensity your brows need. Hybrid Eyebrow Dye from £19. Book online any time or call us on 01382 217888.
Radina is really lovely and welcoming, and so skilled in many different services. I've had lash lift and eyebrows, and gel nail infills for a few months, and have been so pleased with results every single time. It's a bright, pretty and clean salon. Highly recommend!

Both treatments colour your brows. The difference is intensity, coverage, and what gets coloured.
Standard Eyebrow Tint (£15) colours the hair only. Good for medium to dark brows that just need more depth. Doesn't stain the skin. Lasts 4 to 6 weeks on the hair. The result is subtle, natural-looking definition.
Hybrid Eyebrow Dye (£19) colours the hair AND stains the skin. Better for fair, sparse, or patchy brows where colouring the hair alone isn't enough. The skin stain fills gaps and creates the appearance of fuller brows. Lasts up to 6 weeks on hair, 1 to 2 weeks on skin. The result is more intense and defined.
When to choose hybrid over standard:

If you've looked into brow tinting online, you've probably come across henna brows as well. Different thing. Henna is a plant-based paste that sits on the skin and creates a thick, opaque stain over the entire brow area. The result is bold and dramatic. Some people love it. Others find it looks drawn on and unnatural for the first few days until it fades back. Hybrid dye is subtler. It stains the skin lightly between the hairs rather than coating the whole brow in a block of colour. The result looks like naturally fuller brows, not like you've had something applied. Radina prefers the natural finish. That's why Aesthete offers hybrid, not henna.
For the complete brow transformation, combine hybrid dye with shaping in one appointment.
Deluxe Eyebrows (£35) includes shaping (threading or waxing) plus colour (tint or hybrid dye). Radina shapes your brows first, then applies the hybrid dye to the newly shaped brow. The colour goes onto the final shape, giving you the most precise result.
This is the best option if your brows need both a shape and colour. Booking them together saves time and ensures everything is done to match.
Had a gel manicure, eyebrow threading and tinting. First class experience for all treatments and have booked again. Radina was lovely from start to finish. Would definitely recommend.
Hybrid eyebrow dye is the right choice if any of these sound familiar:
The price difference between standard tint (£15) and hybrid dye (£19) is four pounds. But the results aren't four pounds apart because standard tint only colours the hair. If your brows are sparse or patchy, you'll have darker hairs with visible gaps between them. Hybrid dye fills those gaps. It's not a slightly better version of tint. It's a different result altogether. For anyone whose brows disappear without makeup, the extra four pounds is the difference between "slightly darker invisible brows" and "brows that actually look full."
If your brows have good density and you just want a subtle colour boost, standard Eyebrow Tinting (£15) may be enough. Hybrid dye is specifically for when standard tint isn't intense enough.
Have been twice already in one week. Excellent service and advice. Nails, brows and lashes. Definitely be back.
Hybrid Eyebrow Dye £19. Standard Eyebrow Tint £15. Deluxe Eyebrows (shaping + colour) £35.

Hybrid eyebrow dye is a gel-based, ammonia-free dye formula that works differently from traditional brow tint. While standard tint only colours the hair, hybrid dye colours both the hair and the skin underneath.
First-time clients receive a short digital consultation form by email before their appointment covering skin sensitivities, allergies, and any previous reactions to dye products. A 48-hour patch test is required before your first hybrid dye appointment. The patch test is free. Book it through the online system.
Radina assesses your natural brow colour, skin tone, and how intense you want the result. Hybrid dye comes in a range of shades and can be mixed to match your exact requirements.
The brow area is cleaned and prepped. Any oils or residue on the skin would prevent the dye from staining evenly.
The gel dye is applied to your brows with a brush, coating the hairs and the skin beneath. Radina shapes the application carefully to define the brow boundaries and ensure even coverage across the full brow area.
The dye develops for 5 to 10 minutes. During this time it's colouring both the hair and staining the skin.
The dye is removed and the area is cleaned up. The result is immediate. Darker, more defined brows with the gaps filled in by the skin stain.
Dye applicators and mixing dishes are single-use and disposed of after your treatment. The barrier cream is dispensed fresh. Any tools used for tidying are cleaned with Vodex antibacterial solution and sterilised. Radina wears gloves throughout.
A patch test is required 48 hours before your first hybrid dye appointment (free, takes a few minutes).
£19. Standard eyebrow tint is £15. Deluxe eyebrows (shaping + colour) £35.
Up to 6 weeks on the hair, 1 to 2 weeks on the skin. The hair colour fades gradually. The skin stain fades faster but gives you 1 to 2 weeks of filled-in looking brows before it wears off.
Standard tint (£15) colours the hair only. Hybrid dye (£19) colours both the hair and the skin. The skin staining fills in gaps and sparse areas, giving the appearance of fuller brows. Hybrid dye is better for very fair or sparse brows.
No. The treatment is completely painless. The dye is applied with a brush and left to develop. No pulling, plucking, or discomfort.

Different products, different results. Henna is a plant-based paste that creates a thick, opaque stain across the entire brow area. It's bold and dramatic. Hybrid dye is a gel-based formula that colours the hair and lightly stains the skin between the hairs for a more natural, filled-in look. Aesthete Beauty offers hybrid dye because Radina prefers the subtler, more natural finish it gives.
Yes, and it's particularly good for grey brows. The dye colours the grey hairs to restore visible pigment, and the skin staining fills in any sparse patches where hair growth has thinned with age. You get colour and density in one treatment. Standard tint works on grey too, but hybrid gives a fuller result because of the skin stain.
If standard tint wasn't enough, hybrid dye gives your brows the intensity and coverage they need. Colours the hair. Fills in the gaps. Defined brows that last weeks.
