What the Pluck?
Brow Guy is Sydney’s Premier Mobile / Pop Up Brow Studio
Andrew is one of Australia’s first exclusively Brow Specialty Artists. His creation BrowGuy is Australia’s first Mobile Brow Service.
In the early 2000’s being a business or service that was purely Brow-Specific was largely unheard of in this country. There were only a small handful of proclaimed Brow Artists in Australia – all of whom resided in Sydney.
These Amazingly talented, entrepreneurial professionals recognised that there was a distinct gap in the Beauty Market. These people were essentially professional makeup artists who found a niche service in the form of a passion for “doing” brows.
Andrew, who is a classically trained beauty therapist, realised after years of scrubbing feat and massaging faces (not in that particular order) he had a penchant for sculpting clean looking arches.
He found that he was moving away from regular in salon services due to the demand for his precision follicular work.
“People used to say that I should be doing this for myself but in those days I was loyal to my employer and kept dreaming of bigger things.”
Unforeseen circumstances forced the busy Balmain salon to close which meant that Andrew had to reassess his work situation. From there BrowGuy was born. With $50 in his pocket and a $65 pair of tweezers (excellent tweezers were hard to find). Andrew set out to conquer this new world of Brows one hair at a time.
“Marketing myself as a ‘Mobile Brow Artist’ was tough. People couldn’t get their head around the fact that some unknown guy was asking to come to their homes to pluck hairs out of their face.”
Previously this type of service was always just an add-on when ladies went to the Beauty Salon for a Facial. Alternatively it was a quick ‘Wax-n-dash’. Something that was done on the run. Just a quick rip of wax at relatively no cost and very little skill.
“I recall one lady requesting my services. When I explained the cost she blurted out “I’m not paying that much for you to come to my home!” She thought that it should be a cheaper service because it wasn’t performed in an established salon.”
Never really interested in following the fame game, Andrew focussed his interest in just doing the best work he could achieve and making his clients happy doing it.
“I love what I do and I had some really loyal followers from the early days – even before the inception of Brow Guy the business. A few of these people are still with me today.”
Andrew’s clientele includes everyday people – professional women and men – a number of designers, musicians and celebrities and even a member of the Royal Aristocracy on his books.
Andrew’s own specialty beauty brand, BrowGuy is internationally known with his branded products available globally.
He is recognised around the world by some of the biggest and most respected pioneers of the Brow Industry.
In 2018 Andrew lead a National drought relief campaign BROWS FOR BALES which focussed on garnering donations from Brow Professionals and their followers to help Australian Farmers in need of support during our Nation’s longest drought in history.
Currently Andrew is working on developing a Public Mental Health Awareness Campaign. It is in very early days yet, so hopefully more on that later.
