"I was a little shaky going into my first eyebrow tweezing\u2014[perhaps because I once, and just once, self-groomed with an at-home waxing kit](http://www.allure.com/beauty-trends/blogs/daily-beauty-reporter/2012/02/allure-man-triumphs-over-uni-brow.html)\u2014but I felt calm the second I saw Joey Healy, owner of Brow Lab by Joey Healy. He's bright and articulate, he's worked on the facial hair of several of Bravo's New York Housewives\u2014and he has huge eyebrows. I knew I was wouldn't walk away with the blood-streaked forehead of a plucked ballerina, but it did hurt. (News flash, I know.)\\n\\n\\n\\n                   \\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nHealy drew his chair close and pulled out his tweezers. His task, in my case, was not major: He would be working with robust Wolverine brows that didn't need major resculpting, except for a patch near the nose\u2014\\\"a bit sprouty,\\\" said Healy\u2014and drooping, wispy tails at the outer ends. \\\"The tails are bringing you down,\\\" he said \\\"They're crowding your eyes.\\\"\\n\\n\\n\\nBut not for long: Healy worked with deft speed. He sees brows as part of the architecture of the face and as the single feature that can be moved around with ease. \\\"For women, I want to lift the eye, lift the cheekbone, tweak the nose, make them feel refreshed,\\\" he says. \\\"Men need a much more prominent brow, not a high arch. Rough and tumble is a good thing for a man's brows, but they have to match.\\\"\\n\\n\\n\\nJust ten minutes later, I was standing in front of a mirror, smiling and staring. I hadn't noticed how lopsided my eyebrows were until Healy corrected them. And I looked brighter, more alert, and yes, younger. Before I left, Healy gave me a Joey Healy Brow Basics kit with all the essentials (tweezers, brush, powder, and clear styling gel) to re-create the look on my own. I confess, I haven't used it yet, although I certainly will next time I'm required to walk a red carpet. But seriously, I will happily get plucked again just as soon as those sprouts and tails go majorly AWOL.\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n  __RELATED LINKS:__\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n  \u2022 [*Allure Man: Fragrance for the Rugged Individual*](http://www.allure.com/beauty-trends/blogs/daily-beauty-reporter/2014/02/fragrance-for-rugged-individual-valentines-day.html)\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n  \u2022 [*Allure Man: Adventures in Clarisonic Land*](http://www.allure.com/beauty-trends/blogs/daily-beauty-reporter/2013/09/allure-man-experiments-with-clarisonici.html)\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n  \u2022 [*Allure Man: On the Hunt for the World's Best Fingernail Clipper*](http://www.allure.com/beauty-trends/blogs/daily-beauty-reporter/2012/12/allure-man-the-worlds-best-fingernail-clipper.html)"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
