Yet another first time client came in to be "fixed." Someone had taken off her poor tails. At my request, she left everything alone for 2 weeks prior to seeing me. You can see where they were lopped off & that they're starting to come back in.

I conservatively waxed above & below.  I always explain that I will leave some hairs, to hope that more will fill in. Great brows are a journey!

The "After!" I showed her how to softly enhance her new shape with powder, which will help her see the big picture & put down those tweezers. Finally she has brows that fit her stunning blue eyes!

It happens to the best of us...even I can't believe it's almost September! All of a sudden, you realize your brows have gotten out of hand. You know it's a situation when your hubby is helping you get an appointment ;^)

To give more lift, I worked on taking the roundness out of this client's brows. She already has a full face. It actually helped that she had let them grow in, in the before picture you can see previous technicians gave her brows a rounded look ~ not a great fit for a round face shape.  Now her arch is gaining some strength which gives the illusion of lift to the eye area- brow powder will help accentuate that even more. Have you stopped taking care of you this summer? Fall is the perfect time to change that!

My client has fabulous brows, but she also has a brand new baby boy- so they're hidden at the moment!  I know new moms are starved for time, but maintaining your brows helps you appear pulled together - even if your teeth aren't brushed, you haven't slept & there's spit up on your shoulder...

I always keep her brows full & lush- since they're so striking.  One quick visit & at least she's looking well rested!

Peace. Love. Brow Whisperer.

This busy Mom was a first time client who hadn't had her brows shaped in over 5 years- since her daughter was born. She would pluck here & there but had lost a general shape.

With waxing we instantly made the eye area look more groomed & lifted. It always perks up the eyes, giving the illusion of being well rested. Which let's face it, is rarely the case!

A quick tutorial on further enhancing her brows with brow powder & she was off & running- literally!

Another first time client came in this week, with a bit of P.T.B.D. (Post Traumatic Brow Disorder.) As per my request, she left her brows alone for at least 2 weeks before her appointment with me. More hair there is = more canvas I have to work with.  Sometimes I feel like clients pluck on their way to see me!

Since this was her first visit & she had been overwaxed in the past, I was conservative. I left them very full.  There are some patchy spots underneath that we're hoping will grow in. I then gave her a tutorial on brow powder & filling in her brows.

See how brow powder can be your best friend! It keeps your on one the prize - while you're growing them in. It's such a night a day difference + I feel like it helps my new clients put down the tweezers. That's their homework if they want to see great results. Her brows go from okay to amazing with that final step!

Whenever a new client reaches out to me for an appointment, I ask that they leave their brows alone for at least 2 weeks. I prefer even longer so I have enough to work with in terms of establishing a new shape. This client gave me a great canvas!

This is immediately following waxing while the client is still on my treatment table.  It's a night & day difference after trimming & grooming her brows.

An even better shot looking straight at the eye- see the lift she now has to the eye area. Amazing if I do say so myself;)

The week before Christmas is always a blur for me! Everyone wants to come in & have their brows done. Who wouldn't want to get their glam on- especially when so many photos are taken this time of year.

A major streamlining of her brows opened up the entire eye area. Everything looks lifted. She'll be good to ring in the New Year, too!

Often clients who come to me with petite brows overdo it on filling them in. The stick powder of pencil on every hair the do have & it makes the brows look very 'blocky." It even accentuates the fact that they do not

This visit was this client's first to me & she said she was sensitive.  I used my hard Cirepil wax above & in between the brows.

I still was conservative in my shaping. I left a few hairs at the beginning of the brow, in hopes that we can grow in that area.

I then gave her a tutorial on brow powder, choosing a shade accenting her auburn hair. That way we  extended the tail of brow a bit to make them look more proportioned. I was able to give an arch & show her how to replicate the look at home. This photo is looking at her straight on, as you can see this helps open up the eye & give the illusion of the lift.

Can you believe Summer is wrapping up? Those past few months where clothes were flowy, make-up was sunkissed & you kind of let things go a bit while letting the sun hit your SPF slathered face...

With how hot it is at the moment, everyone is streamlining their make-up. What's the point in putting on a full face, when half of it is sliding off in the humidity!

Whip your brows into shape & your face is instantly pulled together!

Most clients have to fill in the tail end of their brows with pencil or powder to give it a little more presence. With this client, it was the exact opposite- in fact the tail was closing in her eye a bit, making them look a little droopy.

By balancing out the proportions of her brows- her face had a whole new lease on life & her eyes looked more lifted. She instantly appeared more awake & refreshed. Who doesn't want to look like they've had more sleep!

I've been working with some of my clients for over a decade. Nothing makes me happier than when I get new clients via word of mouth. For a while one of my regulars was saying I just had to get my hands on her friend & that she was going to get her in to see me come hell or high water!

This client's brows had a fair amount of cowlicks & some patchiness in them. I spent some time explaining how important brow gel or even brushing hairspray through her brows would be to keeping her shape in place. I had to even out some natural gaps in her brows,  as she hadn't been waxed in years. I streamlined their overall shape to open up & lift her eyes.

The way I earned my nickname was from all of the people who came to me after a not so happy previous brow experience at another establishment. I jokingly referred to the condition many of my first clients suffered from as Post Traumatic Brow Experience. I mean it is our face that we're talking about. This client, along with her mother, had been going to someone for years & their brows were getting skinnier & skinnier & further apart.

I explained to this client, as I do with all first time clients- that I need to have something to work with, so put your tweezers down! I know it's hard, but how can I change the shape of your brows when I have no hair to work with? This client said that being that she was Greek, it wouldn't be a problem! Look at that striking brow- I kept the tail full & strong to be conservative on our first visit. She loves her new shape & I was thrilled with the results, too!

Often people with very blond hair think what's the point of waxing when they're so light?

But cleaning up the brow & enhancing definition is so important when the hair is very fair.
