Get those brows in shape! People are raving about the eyebrow shaping experts at Sarra on Summer Street – they’ve won Best of Boston too many times to count. Sarra’s brow experts will shape those brows to suit your face with tweezers only – no wax or threading needed!
Dermaplaning
One of the most requested skin treatments of the new year, dermaplaning is trending in the beauty department and will leave your face ultra-smooth and glowing! Christine Catanese, esthetician at Nurture Salon and Spa, specializes in this treatment and it can be combined with a hydrating mask, a peel or an anti-aging facial. “It’s a great service to do before a special event. Your makeup will go on super smooth afterwards and your skin looks amazing,” says Catanese. You can learn more about this treatment here!
