Eyebrows 101: Getting the Perfect Shape

kaitlyn — Wed, 11 Apr 2012 18:38:37 +0000

Having unruly or over-tweezed eyebrows is like putting a damaged roof over a beautiful home. It ruins the overall appearance.

When it comes to eyebrows, many people struggle to find the right shape, size, and color. However, getting the perfect eyebrow creates symmetry and weight that balances the face and gives a more natural, youthful look. Strong eyebrows help to create an equilibrium with the chin, making your eyes and facial structure appear more defined.

As a general rule of thumb, the brow should follow the natural arch of the brow bone. The size of your brows should correlate with the size of your face structure. If you have a wide or round face, the eyebrows should be a bit thicker. If you have a narrow or petite face, the size of the brows will be a bit more defined.

No matter what face shape you have, steer clear of OVER-TWEEZING the brows! This is not a good look for anyone. Let brows fill out as naturally as possible, only tweezing stray hairs that grow between brows or far underneath your arch. If you have the opposite problem, bald spots or little re-growth, fill in the brows about 2 shades darker than your hair color.

Symmetry is key when dealing with your eyebrows put please keep in mind that your eyebrows are like sisters, not twins! They will never be perfectly even with one another. If you are having difficulty finding the right brow structure for your face, we are always here to help!

OC Waxing is coming out with custom eyebrow pencils and shadows to match every skin tone! We also offer permanent cosmetics, brow tinting, and eyebrow shaping. Check out the picture below to see how much of a difference good brows make!

How Long Does the Hair NEED to Be?

Believe it or not, we see it quite often: clients coming in for their waxing with hair that is TOO SHORT! Did you know the length of your hairs is the key component to a flawless wax?

Read on to let us help you determine the perfect length that will save time, money, and razorburn (ouch!).

Here are a few quick ways to check and see if your hair is ready for removal:

Hair should be about 1/4 – 1/2 inch long. A good way to test this is to see if your hair covers at least half to three-quarters of your pinky finger nail.
If you trim or shave, let hair grow approximately 2 weeks before getting waxed. Two weeks of growth is usually the minimum amount of time needed for the proper length of hair. We know you might be thinking- “UGH! That’s so long!”, but trust us, growing it out the FIRST time is definitely the worst. It gets better as you wax!
Please do NOT shave or trim the hair prior to your waxing, even if you feel it is too long. If the hair is shaved/trimmed too short, the wax will not be able to grab onto the hair and you will not be able to get waxed.

Below is an example of hair that is TOO SHORT to get waxed

Although this re-growth may look long enough to wax, it is best to let it grow about twice this length. If the hair is too short, like the picture above, the wax will not be able to grab onto it, resulting in left-over little hairs. That’s not a smooth wax!

Patience is a virtue when it comes to hair removal…but we promise the wax is worth the wait!! And in the end, you will thank yourself…and us

Male Body Waxing- The New Norm?

kaitlyn — Fri, 24 Feb 2012 22:50:52 +0000

We hear it all the time…is male waxing normal? Our answer… YES! Absolutely. Manscaping is quickly becoming a new trend in our society, as the modern man intuitively learns that personal pampering can be an enjoyable and also very rewarding experience. Men have many reasons for waxing their bodies, from personal hygiene, athletics, trying something new, losing bets, or simply just to do it for their loves ones.

Common services amongst our male clients include chest, back, arms and legs. We also offer small services for males such as the nape of the neck, inner nose, and even the ears! We understand it might be a little intimidating for guys to walk into a predominately female environment, but at OC Waxing, we make sure to respect client privacy and provide discreet services that are as comfortable as possible. We have all kinds of guys coming in for waxing- both young and old- with all different kinds of personalities and occupations.
