Beauty & the East: The Brow House
This week, Health & Swellness is spotlighting some of the get-gorgeous hot spots in Leslieville. This east-end Toronto ‘hood is best known for its brunch, bakeries and coffee shops, but a girl cannot get by solely on caffeine and cupcakes, and, thankfully, a few beauty shops have started to crop up, too.
Who: The Brow House
What: The focus here is brows — everything from shaping to colouring — but you can also hook yourself up with makeup application, facial waxing and faux lashes. Brow design starts at $20.
Why: I was feeling a little like Ugly Betty when she first started working at Mode but a quick visit to a pro at The Brow House sorted out my bushy brows. “If you have the wrong brow shape, it’s very distracting and if you have the right brows, it frames your most beautiful feature, your eyes,” says Kira, founder of The Brow House. She believes that 98 percent of the public have the wrong brows, and her goal is some serious brow education.
When: Tuesday to Friday, 12 p.m to 8 p.m.; Saturday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Where: 1256 Queen St. East; 416-804-9716.
