Not sure what Brow Service to book?

If you have never had any reactions or sensitivity to waxing before it is my favorite way to get a natural, clean, defined brow. I use a soft wax that allows me to get all those strays & peach fuzz before going in with tweezers for the closer details. If you are using any products, topicals or medications that contraindicate you for waxing or you just don't like wax we can get a clean defined brow by doing a full tweeze - there will just be more peach fuzz then if we waxed.

  • Before any brow service I make sure to understand your brow goals to ensure we are both on the same page when it comes to shaping your brows.

    If you are using retinol, tretinoin, acne medication, or antibiotics we cannot wax until you have stopped use for 5-7 days.

    A full tweeze is always an option if you cannot or do not like waxing.

  • Darkening the tiny, fine hairs in and around your eyebrows helps create the illusion of thicker, fuller, and longer brows. The tint can last on the skin for up 24 hours, after that it is only coloring the hairs that you have. A lot of my clients for the first couple weeks say the tint allows them to not have to fill their brows in every morning.

    I use a semi-permanent dye that lasts for 3-4 weeks before fading gradually. The darker you go the longer it will last.

    If you have any bad expirences of a tint being too dark - We can start light and work our way to the color you are comfortable with.

  • A lash tint creates the appearance of darker lashes, witch can really bring out how longer & full your natural lashes are.

    This is a service that you are sitting with your eyes closed for a couple minutes. I apply vaseline under the eye with eye pads to block any tint from the skin. Once we are comfortable I coat the lashes with black or brown tint (your choice) and it only takes a couple minutes for that to develop before I start removing the tint.

    To avoid any stinging I recommend coming to the appointment makeup free.

    The tint typically lasts for 4 - 5 weeks before fading.

    I love this service for my blonde lashed client, before a ski trip, beach trip, a lot of my soon to be mom clients before delivery pics… the list goes on.

    If you have had bad experiences with lash tinting in the past involving intense stinging I have a really gentle hand and I am in the room with you the whole time so if any sort of tingle starts to happen we just have to quickly remove the tint and get some cold water to flush out the tint.

  • A lash lift is a semi-permanent lift & curl of your natural lashes. The result is a boosted, darker lash without using a lash curler everyday. The lift is a subtle way to naturally make your eyes pop and look more awake.

    This service is about an hour long & you are laying down with your eyes closed for most of it. You can listen to music, podcast, audio book, take a nap, or talk the whole time - whatever you are most comfortable with.

    After a lash lift you CANNOT GET LASHES WET FOR 24 HOURS. Avoid steam, a sweaty workout, swimming, mascara, crying etc.. Getting your lashes wet will cause your lashes to relax. The 24 hours allows your lashes to set and avoid any lashes relaxing too soon.

    Lifted lashes last 6-8 weeks.

    I require my clients wait about 9 weeks before doing another lift, waiting until the lifted lashes are completely relaxed is important so we don't over process and damage any lashes.

  • A brow lamination can give you that soap brow look of smoothing the brows by using perm solution to set the eyebrow hairs in a vertical direction, making them appear brushed up & easier to manage that soap brow look for 6-8 weeks.

    If you are someone who often gels there brows up for that fluffy look you will probably love this service since it relaxes the hair making the brow hairs easier to manipulate.

    I do not recommend this service to clients with sensitive skin (eczema, psoriasis, prone to allergic reactions). I do not recommend this to clients who have never gel’d their brows up. While this service can make brows seem fuller I would not compare it to simply filling in your brows to cover sparse spots.

    After a brow lamination you CANNOT GET BROW AREA WET FOR 24 HOURS. This includes steamy showers, hot yoga, sweating etc.. The 24 hours allows your brows to set and avoid any hairs relaxing too soon.

    You will leave the service with a vitamin serum on your brows witch can give them a very slicked shiny look but that will be gone by the next day.

  • Lip Wax - $12

    Chin Wax - $12/$15

    Sides Wax - $15

    Full Face - $50

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Clean & cute brows of course. If it is our first time meeting we will do a full consultation where we can talk all about your brows. I always want to understand your brow style & goals before we get started.

    If you have any pictures of YOURSELF with brows you've really loved feel free to come in ready to show me at the top of your camera roll.

    I prefer not to apply an make up to your freshly waxed skin but if you are heading to dinner or running errands I can always conceal any redness & fill in your brows if you ask me.

  • I see my clients anwhere from every 2-6 weeks. Once a month to every 4 weeks is usually best for keeping up with your shape. If you are a Wax & Tint girly then every 4 weeks is perfect to keep your tint fresh as well.

  • NO, You have to put a pause on using any retinol/tretinoin for at least 5-7 days before a wax to get the best results and avoid unhappy skin. The longer the pause the better.

    Even if they are over the counter product they will cause a reaction.

  • No you need to pause on retinol from the neck up. Retinol travels underneath the skin. Even if it's applied in one place it will migrate and stimulate your entire face. While i understand you may not be applying these products to your “eyebrow” its still very possible your skin will have an unhappy reaction to waxing.

  • This is a question for your injector. Most will say at least a week and a half to ensure the Botox does not migrate.

  • A brow tint is where we darken the tiny, fine hairs in and around your eyebrows witch helps create the illusion of thicker, fuller, and longer brows. The tint can last on the skin for up to day, after that it is only coloring the hairs that you have.

  • 6 - 8 weeks, this varies for everyone. You can of course get lashes/brow wet & wear mascara after the 24 hours but keep in mind the less you do to your lashes/brows the longer your lift will last.

    I recommend using a lash or brow conditioner (revitalash, castor oil, etc..) 3-4 times a week starting a week or so after services.

    I personally don't wear mascara very often when my lashes are lifted, I do use a lot of face oils, and i defiantly don't avoid getting them wet and my lift typically does not start to relax until 8 weeks. Slowly each lash starts to go back to its natural curl and normally by 10 weeks all lashes have relaxed back to their natural curl. If you swim alot, sauna a lot, wear mascara daily I imagine the lift only hangs on for about 6 weeks.

Hi, Im Abi


Licensed Esthetician +Professional Brow Artist

As your brow artist I hope you always feel comfortable sitting in my chair and leave my chair feeling your best. Going on 6 years doing brows here in Old Town I am so fortunate for all the relationships I have built with my clients over the years and I am always eager to be a good part of your day by. After 4 years doing brows, facials, and makeup at Arch Apothecary I moved into Salon Vie Rebelle where my main focus was perfecting eyebrows & lash lifts the past 2 years. I have recently my own space alongside a very talented friend of mine Joey Claeyssen ( @joeysoluvly ) and we are both so excited to be in a space that feels like us doing what we do best.

My approach to brow shaping is to always to keep a full brow but enhance the natural shape of your brows with a good refresh. When it comes to brows they’re sisters, not twins - but I am here to get them as fluffy, balanced, and clean as they should be.
