What is Eyebrow Waxing?
Eyebrow waxing is the process of shaping the eyebrows using wax to remove hair from unwanted places. A special type of wax is used for eyebrows that effectively removes each hair and root, giving the brows a well-defined shape that enhances the eyes.
Benefits of Eyebrow Waxing
Eyebrow waxing offers many benefits, especially when compared to other eyebrow shaping options:
Accentuate your eyes. Waxing will help create more sculpted eyebrows that accentuate the natural beauty of your eyes.
Improve facial symmetry. Eyebrows can be reshaped using wax so that the eyes and eyebrows appear to me more even and symmetrical.
Lasting results. Wax removes each eyebrow hair completely from the follicle, including the root, for longer lasting results.
Distinct lines. Eyebrow waxing provides distinct lines for more precise shaping.
Reduced risk of ingrown hairs. Wax removes the entire hair including the root, which decreases the chances of ingrown hairs.
Skin exfoliation. The skin is naturally exfoliated as the wax is removed.
The Eyebrow Waxing Process
An eyebrow waxing appointment includes the following steps:
Consultation. The first step in the eyebrow waxing process is a quick consultation to discuss your goals for your eyebrows. We can provide our own recommendations for how to improve your facial appearance with eyebrow waxing and other eye enhancements if you would like.
Waxing. We use a lavender essential oil infused wax imported from Italy. The wax is carefully applied and gently removed to provide the desired brow shape.
Finishing touches. Trimming and tweezing may be done to fine tune the shaping of your brows for best results.
Soothing cream. A cream will be applied to the skin where the hair was removed to soothe inflammation and reduce redness.

Frequently Asked Questions About Eyebrow Waxing
How often should I get my eyebrows waxed?
The frequency of eyebrow waxing appointments depends on the rate at which your eyebrows grow back between treatments. On average, we recommend eyebrow waxing every 3-4 weeks.
Does eyebrow waxing hurt?
We use a gentle, lavender based wax that is soothing and natural. Most clients don’t experience any discomfort with eyebrow waxing. We also apply a soothing cream after waxing to reduce inflammation.
Can I bring a picture to show how I want my eyebrows to look?
Please feel free to bring a picture with you, such as a photograph, magazine cutout, or screenshot to show us your goals for your brows.
What if my eyebrows are thin and light? Will waxing make them too thin?
If you have a fair complexion and light hair your eyebrows may not be very prominent in your facial features. We can still provide waxing to create the ideal shape, but we may recommend light tinting to help your brows stand out and enhance your eyes more effectively.
What if I have sensitive skin or skin allergies?
Please share any skin concerns you may have with us so that we can provide the safest and gentlest eyebrow treatment for you. There are other brow shaping options besides waxing if you have had reactions to wax in the past.
