The Extended Brow Experience was nothing short of a meditative, out of body experience of infinite…read morerelaxation. 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

But since I have low thyroid the outer third of my eyebrows are nonexistent and I can never make them look right with any kind of brow pencil or gel or what have you. Keturah talks you through every step of the process and makes sure you are completely comfortable with everything she's doing before she does it. The whole process was easy and they healed beautifully to a natural looking result and now I can walk out of the house without make-up and not have to worry about my dumb brows because I wake up with them looking great! Totally recommend!

Look, I know this whole COVID mess has screwed up everyone's lives....and livelihoods, but holy…read moreheck, if I could give zero stars for the interaction I've just had with the owner Emily at Brow Fox, I surely would. Last month when we were in the middle of the first shut down I literally stopped at the salon and called from the parking lot in an effort to avoid any unnecessary exposure to Emily, her employees, and other clients. I could see people in the business moving about, but no one bothered to answer the telephone. This should've been my first indicator that things were not legit here. But because I have visited the salon before and had a great experience with one of her contractors, I gave her the benefit of the doubt and went ahead and walked in to see if I could make a future appointment. Emily herself finally came to the counter and explained she was in the middle of eating lunch and there is no possible way she could take me that day. Again, I hadn't asked her to take me *that day*, I was simply trying to make a future appointment. She advised she had zero availability for at least the next 6 to 7 weeks. I agreed to accept her first available appointment and kindly asked her to please place me on a waiting list in case anything freed up before then. Then I asked about her availability to touch up the micro blade on my brows at a later date (a $300+ service). Suddenly she had availability three weeks out. Of course I took the appointment and was anxious to have my COVID Frau unibrow whipped back into shape. Skip ahead to yesterday when I received not one, not two, but three request to confirm my appointment for today via email and text nearly back to back. I responded to all three as requested immediately. A few hours later I received an email stating she was shutting the shop down down due to state guidelines. Unfortunately, her email message was not 100% clear and I wanted to make certain I wouldn't miss my appointment which appeared from her email would be one of the last completed before her shut down. I did not want to stand her up, and I also did not want to violate her policy and be charged for an appointment I missed due to any misunderstanding and her communications (she has my card # on file). I emailed through her site but got no response. At 7:30 this morning I received a fourth request to confirm my appointment via email. I immediately called to leave a message at the shop as it appeared her messaging system was having problems. Imagine my surprise when she answered her phone at 7:30 AM! I attempted to explain my reason for calling only to be cut off, interrupted, and barked at in a nasty, unprofessional manner. This was followed by the line going dead, so due to her attitude, I assumed she had hung up on me. Rather than call her back, I simply emailed her just her asking she remove me from her client list permanently. Below is her email response to me along with my reply received this afternoon. I'm also including screen captures in case anybody wants to call into question the validity of her response. While I understand we are all on edge due to the extreme stress and pressure COVID-19 has placed everyone under, her behavior was completely inappropriate and unwarranted considering the situation. I will no longer do business with this woman, and strongly suggest anyone interested in her services continue looking for someone who can manage their behavior and communications in a professional manner instead of lashing out and behaving as if they are the only person in the world who has been affected by this pandemic. I wish you the best of luck Emily, you're going to need it with your poor attitude :-( PLEASE SEE THE SCREEN CAPTURES OF EMILYS UNWARRANTED EMAIL TO ME IN THE ATTACHED PHOTOS

The technician was kind, patient, and efficient. The service itself was quick and precise, exactly what I was looking for without feeling rushed. They also offer threading for those who prefer that option. The space is not massive but it doesn't have to be what was most important is it felt clean and organized. It's not a big spa style environment, more of a focused beauty service spot, but everything felt tidy and professional. While I was getting my service done, my husband waited in the front area and mentioned the receptionist was very friendly and respectful. She made conversation with him while he waited, which he appreciated. The brow wax was $27 and we tipped $10. Overall it was a smooth, no fuss experience that did exactly what it needed to do. I'd stop back in again for a quick brow cleanup when in the area.

Bernadette is such a gem!! I just love her!!…read more Her location is incredibly convenient, she's very professional, her prices are really good considering she's the best on the coast And I trusted her work for a round 2!! I came and saw Bernadette a few years back when we originally shaped and tattooed on my brows after I had barely any!! For several years since, my brows remained fresh looking and natural, which I feel like is every female's biggest wish. None of us want to say we over tweezed or misshaped our brows, we've always wished we had a full, luscious and naturally shaped beautiful brow, but most of us have needed this service to achieve that. For the last several years, I never had to touch an eyebrow pencil, my entire makeup regimen had changed because my dark beautiful shaped brows brought out the best in my eyes... And that's truly a thanks to the talented and artistic Bernadette!! Thus, I went in for my touchup and we caught up like old friends, she gave me a radical price and my brows look so fresh that my self esteem is bursting!! I've said it before and I'll say it again... Bernadette. Is. The. BEST. Why wait!? Get to her books and do it. No woman has ever walked away, saying they regret working with her!!
