The Brow Keeper

The Brow Keeper has locations at 476 E. Rich Street in Columbus and 234 W. Olentangy Street in Powell. Brow work is the focus, covering waxing, shaping, tinting and permanent makeup, and lash work is handled by a dedicated specialist on staff.

Every brow grooming service includes a brow trim. Clients who prefer not to wax can ask about threading or tweezing. Brow tint is a cream dye for the brow hairs that lasts about five to seven days, while brow stain is a hybrid gel dye that can stay on the skin for up to fourteen days. Brow lamination is a chemical brow lift that sets the hairs upward for ten to twelve weeks. The business recommends booking brow waxing every four to six weeks.

Permanent makeup here is microshading, performed with a machine pen and a single-point needle that places small dots to fill in sparse areas. The business says microshading is the safest eyebrow PMU technique, that it causes less skin damage than microblading, and that it is the longest-lasting brow PMU method. Brow waxing is included in PMU appointments. Clients with brow scars or earlier permanent makeup need a consultation before booking. PMU is not performed on clients under 18, clients who are pregnant or breastfeeding, or clients with certain medical conditions listed on the site.

Product choices depend on skin type. A zinc oxide strip wax is used for normal skin, and Cirepil Cristalline hard wax is the option for sensitive skin. A complimentary brow fill-in uses the Kelley Baker Brows professional line. The business states that it was officially recognized as a top eyebrow bar in Columbus and Ohio for 2025 and 2026, based on Google review data.

To prepare for PMU, clients are asked to avoid alcohol and caffeine for 24 hours beforehand, and brow tinting should not be done within a week of the appointment. Before a wax, clients should wait at least ten days after an exfoliating facial and at least one year after stopping Accutane. Tweezing or shaving the brows in the same week as a scheduled wax is discouraged.

Brow-focused care that matches the wax to each client's skin sensitivity, with permanent makeup clients screened through a consultation where needed.
