Salon and Spa Directory: Brows by Lura at Stark Waxing Studio

Are your brows totally and completely out of control? Are you desperate for a reshaping and cleaning up? Well, Lura at Stark Waxing Studio is your new lifesaver.

Fact: your brows will look better than ever before. Seriously, I've had my brows waxed for years and have never had them look as good as when Lura does them. And not only that -- Lura is so good at what she does, she doesn't even need to ask you about the shape or what you want. She just has you lie down on the table and gets to work -- and the finished product is AMAZING. Exactly what you would have asked her to do, but even better.

The Perfect Pairing: Waxing at Stark Waxing Studio and BareEase & Cream

I'm going to let you in on a secret. Waxing is painful. Okay, maybe that's not such a big secret. But here's something you may not know -- if you pair BareEase & Cream with a waxing appointment at, say, Stark Waxing Studio, your pain is cut down tremendously.

I went in for an appointment recently and was pleasantly surprised at how easy the waxing went due to my application of BareEase & Cream beforehand! What is BareEase & Cream, you may ask? It's a numbing cream formulated with lidocaine, a common local anesthetic, that takes away the pain and suffering from bikini waxing. Pretty genius if you ask me!

Plus, the BareEase & Cream prep kit comes with everything you need pre-appointment to make the pain go away. The kit has a pair of latex underwear, a tube of pain-relieving cream and a pamphlet that details exactly what to do. (But, basically, you just put on the cream and wear the underwear with it for about 45 minutes before your appointment.)

And the actual waxing appointment? It couldn't have gone more smoothly! (Pardon the pun.) My waxer was professional, quick and thorough, removing every single hair with the greatest of ease.

BareEase & Cream retails for $25 at drugstore.com. A Full Brazilian Wax at Stark Waxing Studio is $70-$85. Visit starkwaxingstudio.com for more information and to book an appointment.
