Q: Can you please post about an eyebrow person you recommend? I think they are so important for framing the face and my lady just tweezed the crap out of mine, after I’ve spent the last year trying to grow them out to be full and au naturel. I’m back to Greta Garbo eyebrows. M.M, NY, NY
A: Let’s face it: Greta Garbo brows only work if you’re Greta Garbo. My good friend Cher had a similar experience. She went to some expensive lady who turned her into a chola. I feel for you. It just so happens I have the most amazing eyebrow lady: her name is Wendy and she is an eyebrow genius. I found her through one of my best friends, Antonia, who has a scar running through one of her eyebrows, making them notoriously hard to wax. Antonia is Brazilian and has extra high standards for waxing. I have seen many expensive pluckers: Robert Sweet at Barney’s, Robin Narvaez at Borja. None of them made my eyebrows look as good as Wendy and just left me feeling like I spent too much money for nothing.
Wendy costs $13.50 and is worth ten times that. She can take one look at you and assess the best shape for your face. She uses a combination of plucking and waxing to get them perfect and precise. Don’t be fooled by the unglamorous salon and I promise it’s worth going all the way to Murray Hill.
