Good Egg Award: Best brow-tamer
Best brow-tamer: Koltton Fox @ Stephen Paul Salon
I like Koltton Fox, brow shaper extraordinaire, and not just because he tamed my rough eyebrows.
I visited Fox at his studio in the Stephen Paul Salon in downtown Scottsdale. As I situated myself on his plush table, sounds of ocean waves crashed in the background. “When did you last pluck? When were you last waxed?” he asked as he sized them up.
“It’s been awhile,” I said, an understatement.
With that, he started applying wax.
I jumped right in asking him how he got into the brow biz. Fox is a pretty strapping, young-ish dude. I might be guilty of stereotyping, but he’s not really the kind of guy I’d take for a talented aesthetician.
“I started out in aviation — and did some stupid things as a kid — and couldn’t go back.”
Okay…there’s some unexpected candor.
As he considers my brow follicles, I pepper him with more questions about his work. Fox is also a facialist, and has his own product line of face and body products coming out soon.
He volunteers at the Children’s hospital, where he noticed that many patients have skin problems — to the point of not wanting to be touched. This spurred him to add Nicitinic Acid, a B vitamin, to his body products, making them good for extremely sensitive skin.
He has an interest in Chinese herbology, which explains the addition of Fo Ti, a common herb used in Chinese healing, to his body products.
The body line will be mostly vegan.
I’m liking him more and more.
He continues painstakingly plucking, intermittantly asking if I’m okay. (I was. I didn’t feel a thing).
When he’s done with the shaping, he offers some suggestions about putting my best brows forward: Maybe a little powder here and here will fill out the sparse spots.
So I won’t look like you took a face-first trip across a long carpet, he pats a little SPF concealer over the area to tone the redness down.
He’d like to see me with slightly thinner brows…but will wait until he’s seen how they grow — until he knows them better.
He will get to know them better.
