Eyebrow wax in Old Town Alexandria?

[Anonymous]

Anyone have any recommendations for places to get your eyebrows done in Old Town? Thanks so much. They are starting to look like unruly ferns. Also, can you let me know if your recommendation would be the type of place where I could bring my one year old with me in an umbrella stroller while I get it done. I don't normally take him, but I am in a bind and need it done before the weekend.

Thanks!

I go to Salon de Zen (use to be Frasiers) on King St. Only problem is the stroller. They do the waxings upstairs. I'm sure you could carry him and stroller up there, strap him back in and then let her rip!

I tried Eyebrow Express on Saturday. They weren't the best out there (I've had my best luck at Red Door Pentagon Row), but they were fine. Courteous, fast, inexpensive. And you don't suffer the minor indignity of having your brows threaded in the middle of the mall where just about anyone could walk by midstream.

My brows are a bit funny. I must have tried to wax or tweeze them as a young girl because I have a mild bald spot on one side that is very hard to spot unless you are waxing/shaping my brows. Plus they tend to grow long. For a careful wax/shaping that takes this into consideration, I've found the best places "near" Alexandria are Red Door and also Sugar House. Circe Aveda used to do an OK job, but I haven't always been 100% happy with them either.

Several of my friends swear by Michelle at http://www.cloud9skincare.com/

I don't go to her because I prefer to have my brows threaded, which is a service she doesn't offer, but my friends just rave about her. She owns the shop and I hear she is super friendly, so you could call and ask her about the stroller thing. My guess is that she wouldn't have a problem with it.
