Eyebrows are like repressed anger: The longer you ignore them, the uglier they get.

This, of course, you know. And yet you still bailed on your waxing appointment yesterday.

What if you could get your brows groomed in the course of your day — say, while shopping? Perhaps then you might be less apt to put it off? On Mondays and Tuesdays, brow maven Meaghan Sullivan operates right inside Bucktown boutique Jolie Joli. Proprietors Gina and Steve Kulbieda discovered the tweeze-mistress at Salonblonde and lured her to the shop, where her eye for color and shape is now at your disposal.

So, in between snagging a jazzy little Marc Jacobs top and trying on some NY Industries pants, you can get a quick, perfect shaping. Without missing a beat.

And, yes, before things get ugly.

Jolie Joli, 1623 North Damen Avenue, between North and Wabansia Avenues (773-960-6761).
By appointment.
