They seem to have semi permanent everything else so why not brow color.
Is there anything on the market that gives semi permanent color to the
brows? Would be nice to have something that stayed for a few days and
didn't rub off.

web-search "brow tint" and "lash tint". Also, while its not recommended by teh
manufacturer, with a little care, you can use ordinary hair color on your
brows. I'm told that some people do that to cover the grey.

if you decide to go that route, be very careful to not get any on
the skin. Sally Beauty Supply should have brow & lash tint that
can be used safely.

Again, and in the interests of safety, its worth noting that doing so is
against the label recomendations and may cause blindness, I've been told

i wanted to post this again. the above statement was actually
written by Userb3.

that statement is on the box for a reason; it's not something
they just made up. if anyone wants to continue doing that, it's
certainly their business. but imagine not having any sight.
imagine never being able to *see* your friends or loved ones ever
again. for me, it's not worth it. but others may have no
problem sacrificing their eyesight for beauty.

that both the Sally dyes and regular hair dyes will stain the skin, but
only for about 8 or 10 hours, so you'd probably want to do this before bed
and shower in the morning if you don't want to look like Miss Scary
Eyebrows.

I dyed mine once with regular permanent Clairol hair color and it did
indeed stained my skin. When I switched to the Clairol Complements
semi-permanent hair color I tried that. Perfect shade and no skin
tint!

Just be careful and leave the dye on the same amount of time as you
would for your hair. I always made my solution on the thick side so it
wouldn't try to run once applied to my brows. I found a q-tip worked
perfectly for applying this mixture. I also found for me this only
last about 2 weeks until it needed to be applied again.
