So is anyone else afraid to have their eyebrows waxed?! No?! Just me? Ok. Cool. My fear of someone waxing me probably all stems from my control issues, but that is a post for another day....I just always picture the worst happening. My eyebrows not matching up, having an entire eye brow waxed off. What if they never grew back and I have to get them tattooed on!? The horror. You know really serious, traumatic stuff here!
So, when Urban Waxx of Portland got a hold of me to offer a complimentary eyebrow wax, I was slightly hesitant, but also super pumped at the idea. I have a lot of dark eyebrows and it takes some time and some industrial type tweezers to get them tamed. Otherwise I look like this:
Or even worse like this. 
After checking out their website and yelp reviews, I decided to take them up on their offer. I mean they claim to offer the best wax you'll ever have, had to give them a chance, amiright?!
From their website:At Urban Waxx, we are committed to making your time with us extraordinary. Our motto is "The best wax you'll ever have. Seriously." That is a statement that continues to drive Urban Waxx forward every single day.
Urban Waxx is more than just your typical salon: it's a culture. We love what we do, and it shows. We are a group of super talented, highly trained gals that have 2 things in common: we love to wax and we love to give an over the top customer service experience.
Urban Waxx has 3 locations in the Portland area. I went for the one in the Alphabet District since it was closest to my house. They also offer many different wax options, but I stuck with just a brow wax. I am new to the world of waxing, figured I should stick with simple. I scheduled an appointment via their online booking, which is extra convenient, because God forbid I have to actually use my phone and call someone ;)
The shop was cute and all the staff was super inviting and friendly...which they need to be if they think I am going to let them rip hair off my body! They even offer wine, but I had a workout to get to after the appointment, stupid choice on my part, I know.
The gal, Alix, that did my brows was awesome and she did a great job. And get this, she does Roller Derby, if that's not kick ass, I don't know what is! Plus, it probably took her a total of 10 mins max. Efficiency, a thing which I am all about. Girl knew what she was doing too, so it didn't even hurt! Winning!
Look at those sexy eyebrows.
Anyway, if you're looking for a great place to get your brows (or any other part of your body) waxed hit up Urban Waxx and tell them Brooke Smith sent you!
Cheers to sexy eyebrows,
<3 BB
