East Bay Express Best of the East Bay 2003		Reader's Choice: Best Massage Critic's Choice: Best Place to Fight Monobrow Before a Night on the Town Whether you're a woman or a man, it's tough to look good while sporting a monobrow. Sure, there may be Web sites like Monobrow.com that declare they're "celebrating the unity of your eyebrows." But why bother going through life with a brow like Bert from Sesame Street when About Face & Body is in town? For about $20, the kind souls at this College Avenue haven can wax off bushy eyebrows in fifteen minutes or less. It's much quicker than plucking, and far less risky than using a razor to shave your monobrow into submission. The shop allows walk-ins as well as appointments, and it's open until 8 p.m. on most nights -- perfect for those moments when you're getting ready for a big event and suddenly realize your brows have merged into one. http://www.eastbayexpress.com/
