There’s just something about a freshly waxed brow. It instantly lifts your face, opens up your eyes, and makes you feel a little more polished — with minimal effort.
But if you’ve ever had a brow wax that left you red, irritated, or… less than thrilled with the shape, you know that not all waxes are created equal.
At Fancy’s, we believe eyebrow waxing should be quick, effective, and leave you feeling confident. So whether you’re a brow regular or it’s been a while since your last clean-up, here are our best eyebrow waxing tips — straight from the treatment room.
🧼 1. Step Away from the Tweezers
This is a big one. If you’re planning on booking a brow wax, put the tweezers down at least 2–3 weeks before your appointment.
Why?
- Wax needs enough hair growth to grab and remove the hair cleanly.
- Over-tweezing messes with your natural shape and can make symmetry difficult.
- Brows grow in 8–12 week cycles — give them time to fill in!
💡 Pro Tip: Even if you feel a few stray hairs popping up, resist the urge! Your esthetician will thank you — and your brows will look fuller and more defined post-wax.
🧴 2. Take Care of the Skin Around Your Brows
The skin around your eyes and brows is extra sensitive, so it’s important to prep and care for it properly before and after your wax.
Here’s how:
- Moisturize regularly in the days leading up to your appointment
- Avoid harsh exfoliants, peels, or retinol near your brows for at least 48 hours before
- After waxing, apply soothing aloe or calming oil to reduce redness and irritation
✨ At Fancy’s, we always finish your brow wax with calming oil to nourish the skin and protect the barrier.
💬 3. Communicate Your Brow Goals Clearly
No two brows (or clients!) are the same — which is why your esthetician wants to hear from you.
Before your wax, let us know:
- How bold or natural you like your brows
- If you prefer a clean-up or a more sculpted shape
- Any concerns or goals you have (growing them out, symmetry issues, thinning, etc.)
And remember: Speak up if you’re unsure. It’s your face — we’re just here to help you love it even more.
⏱️ Bonus Tips for Brow Waxing Success
A few more things to keep in mind:
- Avoid waxing right before a big event (especially if it’s your first time) in case of redness
- No makeup around the brow area for a few hours after your wax
- Stay out of direct sunlight or tanning beds for 24–48 hours post-wax
- Schedule touch-ups every 3–4 weeks to maintain your shape and keep the regrowth soft and minimal
