The Extended Brow Experience was nothing short of a meditative, out of body experience of infinite relaxation. More than 24 hours later, I am still feeling a calm and zenness. I'm 54 years old and have been getting my very bushy brows waxed since the 6th grade. For the past 10 years, Candice at Brow Therapy has been the ONLY person I trust with my eyebrows. They are coarse, grow in every direction, and have always been a source of insecurity for me. I am incredibly picky, and after many disappointing experiences over the years, I found the brow guru of the California Central Coast in San Luis Obispo. Candice is not only the best eyebrow waxer, tweezer, shaper, and scissor artist I've ever encountered, but she also runs her business with a genuine and humble, no fake BS approach that I absolutely love. She's always on time. Literally come as you are, she's got your brows. Recently, I treated myself to the 40 Minute Brow Experience, and it exceeded every expectation. The slight vibrations through the bed, the sounds through the headphones, and one touch from Candice, took me away so very quickly into a complete state of relaxation. I didn't have to make any effort to quiet my mind. After a year that included a breast cancer diagnosis and surgery, my body has been carrying an enormous amount of stress. For 40 minutes, all of it disappeared. There was no anxiety, no to do list, and no worrying about the future. I was floating on a cloud and was able to feel so present and filled with bliss throughout the entire treatment. And even after, I was walking on the clouds during grocery shopping at a peak hour! This was more than eyebrow maintenance and self care, it was healing. Candice, thank you for giving me 40 minutes of peace and fab brows during a very difficult time. I will never ever go back to a regular brow wax again. By Appointment Only, I book through the VAGARO App. On Instagram @browtherapy 805-550-9986 read more

I've been scheduling my appointments with Candice for about a year now. And she has been consistent with my eye brows, I've never left her place unsatisfied with my eye brows. Schedule an appointment with her, you won't be sorry! read more

I actually have eyebrows now!! My brows were so faint and really unshapely considering they haven't gotten any love during COVID. Candace did such an amazing job. Mad props to her for still providing an amazing service, even while having to work outdoors. Highly recommend. read more

Candice takes her time with each client and she did an outstanding job on my brows. The table is outside due to the pandemic, but she wear protective gear. It's easy to book online and Venmo to pay. I'll definitely be doing the long drive to get my brows done the way to like. read more

Love love love this little shop! The location is easy to miss so be on the look out but I love the outside design of the building and the colors. Candice is also so nice and she really takes the time to make your brows look good! I haven't had anyone give my brows as much detail and attention before her so I will be back brow therapy! read more

I just returned from a spray tan with Paige and had a great experience. She was very warm and welcoming. It was my first time getting a tan and she made me feel some comfortable and was great at explaining the whole process. read more

I've been coming to Brow Therapy for about a year now and have nothing but amazing things to say about the team there! Candice is wonderful with my eyebrows; I don't think I would trust anybody else. It's so easy to make an appointment and they are very quick with communication! I recently ventured into new territory and tried a spray tan and LOVED IT! I'm heading to Vegas this weekend and have the most gorgeous sun kissed skin that I cannot wait to get poolside to show off Paige's work! If you have any outdoor event in your future, this is an absolute must!!! read more

I've been living on the central coast for just over a year, and in that time I've found a hair stylist, great coffee shops, a tax accountant, and even a dentist on Yelp. But the one service I kept putting off was my Brazilian upkeep. I mean, you don't just walk in anywhere and drop trou, and I kept wondering if I could trust online reviews when it came to such a sensitive area... But things were pretty scary in my nether regions, and I had to get brave. Positive Yelp reviews led me to Candice, and when I called to make an appointment, I was immediately encouraged by the friendly, down-to-earth response I got, paired with the fact that I could make an appointment for the following week. I showed up to this amazingly cute little pink bungalow, and the little girl inside me who always wanted to live in an enchanted house in a fairy tale was beside herself. The "cute factor" and the fact that it is just far enough outside downtown to give it space for its own parking lot sold me before I even walked in the door. I was early for my appointment, and Candice and her Gal Friday greeted me with friendly enthusiasm and I was able to get started right away. (Although if I hadn't been, I totally would have loved sitting in one of the cute matching armchairs!) At the end of service, I was able to pay at the desk with the friendly assistant (whose name I forget -- sorry!), which I prefer, as it alleviates the awkwardness of asking the service provider for change and pointing out the tip amount. Just one more piece of evidence of good planning at this spot ... Now for the most important part: how was the service? In my opinion, a great Brazilian has three main components: 1) It is quick and efficient. 2) It is made less awkward by a carefully prepared atmosphere and just the right amount of conversation. 3) It doesn't hurt too much while it's happening, and it heals relatively quickly. Candice gets my highest marks on all three counts, PLUS she offers a selection of post-procedure pamperings, such as a hot washcloth with teatree oil, wax de-sticker, baby wipes, and ingrown-hair discourager. I will definitely be back, especially with her very fair prices and her service punch card. So glad I took a chance on Yelp reviews! Now I feel like I'm finally all the way moved in to this area. read more

My daughter has been going to Candice for years and loves her so she booked me an appointment and I'm hooked! I never imagined my brows could look this great! Thanks so much Candice! read more

I went to Candice for a spray tan for my wedding and she did a perfect job! It looked so natural and added just enough color. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a spray tan in the SLO area. Her shop is so beautifully decorated too! read more

Candice has the magic touch. Her enthusiasm for her work and new shoppe is contagious. I can't wait to go back. You will love it here! read more

See all

Candice is on point with the eyebrows! Mine have a mind of their own, one month they are good, one month they are unruly but Candice can tame them every time :) Although waxing isn't the most comfortable feeling I look forward to my eyebrow appointments with Candice. Atmosphere is relaxing and she is always positive. It's a place I can just relax. I am very picky with my eyebrows & will be a client for as long as she is doing business! read more

Holy cow! I had no idea my brows could look like this! I feel like I have movie star brows. Thank you Brow Therapy.

I've had two appointments with Emily. She is so thorough & has a great eye for eyebrows! Already have my 3rd appointment scheduled with her. Love this little SLO gem!!! read more

Candice is the brow whisperer and that's no joke. She's been doing my brows for the last few years and I will not let anyone else touch them. She shapes them perfectly and also taught me how to fill them in myself with the brow powder and brush that she sells there. I get compliments on my brows ALL the time. She uses hard wax and her technique is flawless - there is no pain during or redness/ irritation after. I can go straight from a waxing appt to a dinner or event and I know my brows are going to look fantastic. Her Brazilian waxes were quick and painless too but she no longer does them :-(. If you don't already go here make sure you book an appointment now! Also, the shop is really cute, has plenty of parking, and they stock Dermalogica products. read more

I was desperate to find someone here on the central coast who could help me figure out what the heck to do with my brows. I was so tired of penciling them in to look fuller and to achieve the shape I wanted! I booked with Candice after seeing all the great reviews and I'm SO glad I did. After just a few months, Candice has helped me shape and grow my brows into such a nice arch. I also started having her tint them a bit since they are so blonde if I don't pencil them in. What a difference! I feel like my eyes are better framed and make me look more awake. Don't hesitate if you are looking for a brow girl. GO TO CANDICE! read more

I've been going to Candice for a while and she is the very best, she has certainly earned the nickname "the brow whisperer". The receptionist, Paige, is a gem too. You can't beat the location either: a cute little building with lots of free parking near great coffee and lunch spots. read more

So I've never gotten my brows done before because I was always terrified to get them too thinned out or butchered. Everyone knows brows really do make a huge difference. I had been referred to her by a worker at Urban Outfitters in SLO and finally had the guts to get them done here and let me tell you, I wish I had come here earlier! Candice is incredibly friendly and makes you feel totally relaxed while you're getting them done. She takes her time and really does care about making you look good! I highly recommend her. She's the only person I trust with my brows and am grateful I have finally found my brows savior! Just a heads up though to book probably around a week in advance. read more

I've seen SO MANY brow shapers. Seriously. Candace is by far the best I've come across. I see her every two weeks, no matter what. Going to Brow Therapy is not only worth the time and money (I find her services to be very affordable!), but it gives me a much needed self-care mini recess that I cannot live without. And Paige?! The best!! Thanks you two!!! read more

I had such a wonderful experience at Brow Therapy! Emily went out of her way, and stayed late to squeeze me in for an eyebrow appointment. She was so sweet, and worked some magic with my brows. Very reasonable prices, as well. Overall, an incredible experience and I will be back soon! read more

Candice is always so nice and friendly. I've felt welcome here since my first visit. Does a great job. Did really good at cleaning up and shaping my eyebrows, not too thin either. And almost pain free. Already booked my next appointment. read more

They do a great job on brows, but are unorganized and impossible to get a hold of. After playing text tag for a week and a half trying to get an appointment instead of just getting placed on the books (even if it was 2 weeks out, I would've been fine with that), I finally got an appointment and was told to come in "Tomorrow at 4:45". Show up the next day 10 mins early, wait outside until someone unlocks the door, and was told that my appointment was Wednesday at 4:45 unapologetically. Will still come Wednesday for my appointment because Candice is sweet and did a great job with my brows, but pretty disappointed in the service. Hopefully they can figure it out because otherwise love it here, but would not go through this trouble again read more

I can't say enough good things about Candice! Not only is she the sweetest and so easy to talk to, but my brows look FLAWLESS every time I leave. I've been going to her every 4 weeks for 2 years and will continue as long as she lets me. Thanks, Candice! read more

Candice is amazing! I've been getting my eyebrows done by her for a few years, and now I won't trust anyone else to do them. I've tried others in the area, as well as when I've lived elsewhere, and there's no comparison. She is very sweet and prompt whenever I have my appointment. Highly recommend her! read more

Wow I love this place! I have been struggling with my brows for a while now ...they both looked totally different and no matter how hard I tried they needed HELP! Thank goodness I was in good hands... Both Emily and Candice are great... they have both helped me so much! The best part is that they work great together and are a great team! (See before and after pic!) Emily's facials are amazing too! My face has never felt better ... After my pregnancy I had problems with my skin(hormones! Ugh) but a few facials later my skin is soooo much better and feels great... A few months ago I was a bridesmaid in a wedding and got a spray tan from Emily! It was amazing...it went very quick and didn't stink at all...I loved the results. The spray tan room is so cute too.... Actually the whole shop is adorable ... I love that I can get all of these things done in one place! I totally recommend Brow Therapy its the place to go! read more

Brow Therapy - Before pic is in Nov2015 After pic is in Jan2016. It definitely took time and patience but so worth it! I Love Brow Therapy! - Waxing Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

Hands down - the best esthetician I have come across....anywhere! Candace's new shop is fantastic: conveniently located, free parking, and well-designed classy atmosphere. Most importantly, she continues to provide flawless work with a level of professionalism rarely found. She has completely mastered the eyebrow wax, leaving clean natural looking sculpted brows every time. Her Brazilian/bikini waxes are relatively painless, quick, thorough, and she puts you at ease throughout the process. This is the ONLY place to go for quality and affordable waxing work from a cool and fashion forward professional! The search is over...... read more

Great service and definitely happy with my brows!! The drawback is that you have to book a while out because they are busy!

Had my first session with Emily today, brows waxed and tinted. She did a great job, really cute place and super professional. I love there website, made my appt online without having to register and remember another password, easy peasy !!! read more

LOVE my brows! After over-tweezing for years, I decided to let my brows grow out for months and then go to a professional. Brow Therapy is the place to go! My brows are back to being full and now they are professionally shaped with precision. I will be back, and I will tell everyone about this place! You will not be disappointed! read more

The best of the best! I've have trusted Emma with my eyebrows for over a year and she constantly amazes me with her work! She takes time and detail every single visit to make sure my brows are perfect. read more

Candace is incredible! Best waxer I've had! Gentle and thorough! Treat yourself well and go to Face and Body shoppe!

Adding to my review because this shop and Candice just keep getting better and better! My brows always look amazing. She is professional, timely and an artist. Plenty of parking and the shop is located close to downtown. Super cute too! Price is right and I've been coming here for years! read more

I have been a client of Candice's since she was at Ahshe. I cant say enough about how amazing she is. What really impressed me at first was that she improved her technique every time with some little tip she acquired. I honestly feel that she takes her profession very seriously and wants to provide a great experience and skilled service. I never thought I would ever receive consistent Brazilian's, or be faithful to an esthetician, but she is the only place I'll go for any waxing. read more

I have already referred 6 friends here that I know love Candice, too! I couldn't be happier with my eyebrow waxing. Nice environment (a little hot in the summer, but not her fault), comfortable treatment (as much as possible for waxing and plucking), and great results! read more

I honestly HATE leaving negative reviews especially when companies have a perfect yelp review. However, it's been about a year and a half since I've went to brow therapy and I am still trying to get my brows back to normal. The girl who did them was brand new at the time, and completely butchered my brows. Took off too much in the middle and WAY too much on the arch. I went back to my regular brow lady the next time I needed a wax and the first thing she said was "did I do your brows last?" They were noticeably messed up. I have to spend quite some time filling in my brows every morning because the amount she took off in the middle has yet to grow back. OVER A YEAR LATER! I'm so sad, my brows were gorgeous. Sad part is, it was only one brow she messed up. So now if I'm not wearing makeup I look like a complete clown. When she was done, she filled them in (per usual) so I wasn't able to see how much they were really messed up till I got home. Should have just booked with the owner given all the good reviews she has. read more

What an absolute gem! Candice is a doll and makes you feel comfortable instantly. She is a wizard of wax and fixed my hot mess brows! Quaint, teeny place without feeling totally cramped. I don't know how she does it.... Magic? read more

Emily Stites was very considerate and accommodating for my best friend Vanessa. She was friendly and made great conversation with Vanessa. Vanessa had a hair and make up trial for her wedding and desperately needed to wax her eyebrows before the appointment. Her brows look great and it didn't hurt. read more

This was my first brazillian and I won't lie I was scared! I'd been told by friends how painful it would be and that I wouldn't be able to sit for days, that I should take a recording of my screams! Thanks so called friends! Candice made me feel very comfortable, she was so professional, I was able to talk very casually during the experience. There were no screams or painful sitting! I was so pleased with the outcome that I made my next appointment with her and have already recommended her to others! Even my own mother! Thanks Candice read more

Candice has been doing mine and my daughters eyebrows for 3 years and she's The Boss as far as we're concerned! Candice is always professional and she just has great skills with shaping brows. Her experience goes far back to doing hair and makeup for theater. read more

So in love with this tiny gem. I have been in twice for my eyebrows; once for a custom, California-made, organic spray tan. Candace is very professional and knowledgeable about eyebrows. She has a gentle touch and is definitely up to speed with what's beautiful and on-trend. The place is absolutely adorable and clean. If I could encourage everyone to see her, I would (and I will). I will 1,000% be back. read more
