browsROC

browsROC is a small waxing salon on Park Avenue in Rochester that concentrates on brows and facial hair removal. Brow sculpting has been its specialty since 2005, and its two brow professionals, Ryan and Alyssa, handle the shaping work. Appointments are booked online through Vagaro, and there is parking in the back of the building.

Shaping is planned around the face and the client's preferences rather than a single template. Technicians use a mix of waxing, trimming and tweezing to build the brow, and facial waxing is offered alongside it. The salon's waxing is done with hard wax only, under the name Gentle Wax. The business says hard wax is less painful than strip wax and is a good fit for sensitive skin.

The salon describes its atmosphere as fun, friendly and free of judgment. It says it aims to be a safe, inclusive space for clients of all ages, races and genders.

Hours are Tuesday through Thursday from 10:00 am to 7:00 pm, Friday from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm, and Saturday from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm. The salon is closed on Sunday and Monday.

Each brow shape is chosen around the client's face and preferences, combining waxing, trimming and tweezing.
