Brows By Symone

Brows By Symone works from a suite in Bloomington, Minnesota, and groups its menu into brow services and waxing.

Brow Wax is a 30-minute appointment in which a soft wax made for sensitive skin is used, followed by trimming and precision tweezing. A light concealer can be added on request. Brow Wax with tint takes an hour: the brows are shaped with warm wax and then given a semi-permanent tint. Depending on natural brow density and the look a client wants, a hybrid tint with henna-like properties may be used instead.

Lamination is available for clients who want brow hairs set in place. The lamination and wax service without tint runs an hour and includes mapping, trimming, tweezing and a concealer finish, and the chemical solution needs 20 minutes of processing. The Brow Trio combines lamination, warm wax shaping and tint in 1 hour 25 minutes for $122.

The waxing menu includes a facial wax for small areas such as the upper lip, chin, sideburns or nose, which takes 15 minutes and starts at $20. Underarm waxing is a 20-minute warm hard wax service for $30. According to the business, underarm results last 4 to 5 weeks and the treatment is virtually pain free.

The business also offers a 60-minute one-on-one business strategy session for $175, aimed at small business owners and entrepreneurs, including beauty professionals and service-based owners. Topics covered include pricing, client retention, boundaries and policies, systems and workflows, next steps for growth, and social media marketing tips.
