The gal who does them is FAST, always does a good job, and it is $10. Also, there is a nail salon on California, north of the Thriftway a bit in West Seattle that does a good job, too.

Less painful than waxing, and no redness! If you have sensitive skin, try finding someone in your area who does eyebrow threading. Less painful than waxing, and no redness!

I know a friend had let hers grow a bit when she wanted to have them re-shaped. For what it's worth: I wasn't expecting them to wax along the top of my eyebrows as well as underneath. I do like the final look, though. Afterwards the skin around mine was red for about a day, I'm not sure if it's because it was the first time or if I'm particularly sensitive. I was glad I didn't have any plans for that evening. I'm happy and I plan to keep having them done. McAuliflower - I'm not certain if you need to let the hairs grow a bit before going in.

I currently pluck mine. Does one not groom them for awhile before going in to have them done? :) I've been thinking of getting my eyebrows professionally done for the first time too.

Karin - I don't know. Their website certainly doesn't say you cannot. Also, the alcohol wasn't in sight, the person at the front desk simply asked if I would like to have something.

While the reviews at Yelp for the Wax Bar are <a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz/the-wax-bar-seattle" rel="nofollow">great</a>, I would suggest looking into threading for you. Yelp has listings for <a href="http://www.yelp.com/search?find_desc=spa&ns=1&rpp=10&find_loc=spokane%2C+wa" rel="nofollow">spas in Spokane</a>, hopefully somebody will have a positive review of one.

I have been searching for a good jacket like that but not necessarily in "girl" colors (I would rather have neutrals to go with everything). Thanks for posting about it! Wondering about the brow bar. I live in Spokane, wonder if its worth the trip next time I visit Seattle. I have big thick and bushy Brooke Shields eyebrows... wonder what they could do to shape those (always thought they were hopeless). Angela Angela You are Brilliant!
