Brows, Waxing & Makeup · Arlington, MA
Clean, custom brows shaped to your face, gentle facial waxing, and makeup application for the days you want to look finished. All at 280 Broadway in Arlington, from a team that has been shaping brows since 1991.
Brows frame everything. The right shape is the one that suits your bone structure, not whatever shape is having a moment — and getting there takes an eye, not a stencil. We map each brow to your features, wax cleanly and gently, and add a tint when you want more depth. If you are growing out a shape that was over-plucked, we will plan that with you rather than take more off. And when you want the whole look finished, we do makeup application too.

Why Jacqui's
Anyone can pull hair off. The skill is knowing which hairs to leave. We read your bone structure, your natural growth pattern, and where your brow actually wants to sit, then design a shape that flatters your face and grows out gracefully instead of collapsing three weeks later.
We wax gently, because the skin around the eye is thin and unforgiving, and we finish by hand so nothing is left uneven. If your brows have been over-done — and most brows have been, at some point — we will give you a straight answer about how long it takes to bring a shape back, and what to do in the meantime.
It is a fifteen-minute service that changes how your whole face reads. That is why so many clients add it to every visit.
Your Appointment
First time with us for brows? Here is how the appointment goes.
We look at your natural brows and your features and agree on a shape before anything comes off.
We map the shape to your face, then wax cleanly and gently for a precise line.
If you are tinting, we apply and refine, then tidy any strays by hand.
We tell you the right rebooking window to keep the shape sharp — usually two to four weeks.
Good To Know
Eyebrow shaping is $20+ at Jacqui’s Design Group in Arlington. A brow tint is $12+, and lip or chin waxing is $14+ each. Makeup application is $85+. We confirm pricing before we begin, so there are no surprises at the desk.
Brow shaping runs about fifteen to thirty minutes. Add roughly ten minutes if you are tinting as well. A full makeup application takes about forty-five minutes.
A brow tint typically holds two to four weeks on the hair itself, fading gradually rather than dropping off all at once. It fades faster with oil-based cleansers and frequent exfoliating around the brow.
Tell us before we start. Retinol, tretinoin, and similar actives thin the surface layer of skin and make waxing riskier, so we usually ask that you stop applying them near the brow for about five to seven days beforehand. If you have used one recently, we can tweeze instead.
Yes. Everyday makeup application is $85 and can be booked on its own. For weddings, proms, and galas, see our bridal and special event page, which covers trials, day-of styling, and the full party.
