BRUNCH & BROWS
I am a girl all about the multi-tasking... if I'm not doing two things at once I feel like I'm slacking off or dropping behind. So imagine my shear excitement when right in the middle of Chelsea, I walk into this ultra-chic and super eclectic coffee shop, where I can also get my brows shaped and my legs waxed! And not just any coffee shop, A Wanted Man also serves seriously delicious and uber healthy dishes that will have you returning before you can say stubble!
First, let's talk coffee and food, because who can really sit through a wax on an empty stomach?! The artisan coffee is flown in from Singapore and it is something tasty...just ask the barista to make their favorite for you! And post-wax be sure to grab a Rooibos Latte to go---heaven. A Wanted Man describes their menu as comfort food prepared with all natural and healthy ingredients--and I couldn't agree more! The dishes are unique and colorful and prepared with creative expertise! My top picks : Avocado with No Name, Sweet N Salty Sourdough Waffle, and of course, something real sweet like the Rich Man, Poor Man's Pudding.
Now for the beauty bit... On the first floor is the BrowHaus, a full service brow bar with specialized technicians to turn those brows into a work of art. This was my first experience with threading and although not completely pain-free, it was a much better alternative to waxing and the end result, a more thorough and clean shaping. Also, I went head first into brow treatments and had those bad boys tinted! I was seriously shocked at the difference in my brows---as someone who majorly over-plucked in high school, I thought there was little hope for a strong brow game. Surprise! My brows were looking full and shaped to perfection--these gals at BrowHaus are artists.
Fun fact, you can also get your lashes lengthened and your lips plumped on the first floor. A full service stop! The procedure I'm most interested in is the Brow Resurrection--a semi-permanent solution to the sparse brow problem (can I get an amen). It's totally safe and healthy, using vegetable dye to fill in providing natural shape and a gorgeous full brow. The process is non-painful (compare to tweezing) and can last up to 2 years. It is a state of the art technique that BrowHaus has been perfecting for 5 years!
Keep climbing those stairs and you'll end up on the second floor, aka Ministry of Waxing. From Singapore to New York, Shanghai to London, Ministry of Waxing has been providing smooth skin all over the globe since 2001...making them the experts in the field. The best part : they're all about the speed, waxes in thirty minutes or less...whew! And if you're ready to opt for a more long term solution to those hairy spots, they offer laser hair removal. And with a free consultation and patch test, what are you waiting for?!
