Lena Hanson is creating her Fab Brows out of Reneux Med and Dayspa.

OK, I admit it. I have really bad brows. I blame it on my Chinese heritage. My brows are so scragly and sparse that when makeup artists see me coming, the more assertive and easily offended of them will ask, “Can I fix your brows?”

In the days when I cared (a lot of life-or-death matters to the young matter a lot less when you’re older), I’d carefully pencil them in with eye shadow, but mostly I’m to busy to bother and will fill in the bald spots the quickest way possible, with some brown eye shadow.

The girls with the fab brows? I just figure they’re born with it, I wasn’t, and that’s that.

Then, I met Lena Hanson of Lena’s Fab Brows, through Twitter, and after seeing some of her work, OK, I concede that maybe having fab brows requires hard work, or the services of an artist.

You can check her out at a new location, at Reneux Med and Dayspa on the second floor at 401 Kamakee St. (The building is also home to Phuket Thai and Bamboo Sky.) Building parking is $1 an hour or $.50 an hour with validation.

She will be creating her Fab brows, as well as providing waxing and makeup services, with appointments taken at 372-3480.

She is offering a special rate of $18 (off her normal $35 rate for new clients) for new clients’ brows through Aug. 31.

I was trying to look for a picture of Lena, who’s everywhere online, but she’s being shy now.

More of Lena’s work.
