We had the good fortune of connecting with Amanda Scheidt and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Amanda, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
I have been in the beauty industry since 2005. I started my passion at Benefit Brow Bar. At that time, I fell in love with this industry. While working at The Brow Bar I learned how to properly shape an eyebrow according to face shape. I also learned that brows can make or break your look. I enjoy helping people learn how to properly shape their brows. Another part of the job that I really enjoy, is meeting people that I otherwise would not. After working at The Brow Bar, I did brows at a few other locations before moving to Texas. I moved to Texas 9 years ago. At the time my son was 4 years old, and my husband and I only knew one person here. That made it very difficult to find a job that would accommodate the hours I was able to work (someone needed to be with our son) so, I decided to open my own business! I wanted to continue my brow journey, so I rented a salon suite, and The Brow Boutique was born. I was only there a few hours a week, but with word of mouth and moms’ pages on Facebook my clientele grew very quickly. I was in a salon suite for two years and was growing out of the space. Then the Summer of 2020 happened, and the world was very uncertain. I decided to open a store front. My husband did all the renovations himself, the family spent the entire summer hard at work and I opened my doors in September 2020.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
The Brow Boutique specializes in eyebrow and eyelash solutions that leave you feeling naturally beautiful and confident.

We believe killer brows and luscious lashes not only transform your look but also give you a renewed sense of self. Our revolutionary lash and brow techniques enhance your natural beauty and give it a little “oomph” to leave you feeling beautiful and refreshed.

“Come in as a client – leave as a friend.”

At The Brow Boutique, we have a vested interest in our clients above and beyond your brows and lashes. So, each visit is more than a treatment; it’s a welcome break from life’s daily grind where you can relax, chat about whatever is on your mind, and leave feeling recharged and renewed.

No matter the treatment you are receiving, it’s always first-class. We want you to feel at home and enjoy some well-deserved pampering. Plus, every client gets a makeup “touch-up” to perfect your look before leaving. This is your time, and we’re here to make every minute worth it.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Main Street is my favorite spot in Grapevine. I feel so lucky to have my business in the Christmas Capital of Texas! If a friend was visiting, I would have them here during the holidays so they can experience the magic of Grapevine. We would first start on North Main Street and give them a brow wax and healthy lash lift at The Brow Boutique, then head to South Main Street and go wine tasting (hit as many wineries as we can) do some shopping, definitely get a sweet treat from Kilwins and get truffle fries from Wine Fusion (best fries in Grapevine) Seeing live music at Wilhoits is one of my favorite things about Main Street so that is a definite must! To wrap up the weekend we would go to Ice at the Gaylord Texan. I would also take them to the Parade of Lights, it is a special festive tradition my family enjoys.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My husband, Justin! When we started this journey, my boutique was in rough shape. I told him my vision and he brought it to life. He is such a great support; I would not be where I am without him. I am also grateful for the support from my mom and kids.
