| - The ONLY place I'll ever have my eyebrows threaded again!
I've been to quite a few eyebrow threading places, and although this one is closest to my home, I always forgot it was there. About a month ago I went in and had my eyebrows threaded. I noticed that they do things a bit differently than other places I've been. They use powder before (I think to keep the thread from "burning" my eyelid and eyebrow/forehead area), then afterwards they do the antiseptic (standard) and then MASSAGE the aloe vera gel into the whole area which makes the pain a little less painful. Yes there will be tears, it's natural with all the ripping out of hair from a sensitive area, but the more you do it the less painful it is. There's some redness afterwards, I have VERY sensitive skin and used to spend like 6 hours with red swollen sections after having threading at other locations but both times I've been here the redness is gone within an hour.
Today's visit I walked in with no appointment and all the girls were busy with clients, I didn't expect to be greeted, so I just signed my name and went to sit down by a pregnant woman who I assumed was waiting for a service, she asked if I was just getting my eyebrows, I said yes and she ended up being the owner and took care of me herself! She was very kind. I joked about maybe someday working up the courage to try it on my underarms but being afraid that I wouldn't be able to handle the pain and she said she had just had hers done and that they have a NUMBING CREAM they will use if you ask for it and within about 2 minutes it takes affect and makes the process less painful. I'm assuming it could be used on most body parts but probably not the eyebrows, too close to the eyes would be my guess, but I didn't ask. Plus they have a separate curtained off area for privacy when you need something like underarms done.
She also did my aunts eyebrows, (she was a threading virgin), and they looked fantastic. My aunt has very light eyebrows so she fills them in, and after the threading most of the filler was missing so they re-filled them in so that she didn't have to leave feeling self conscious.
No they don't usually ask what shape you want, so if you are particular TELL them, they listen. Most of them aren't usually too talkative, probably because they are holding thread in their mouths and trying to concentrate, but they are all very nice. They've never cut me (knock on wood) although I've been cut at 2 different places in the past. Of course it's an honest accident so I wouldn't have a total melt down over it if it did happen.
All in all I love how my eyebrows look afterwards and will never wax again.
Oh and btw... don't expect to have any makeup left above or below your eyebrows after their done. So if you do go in, plan it for a time when you don't need to be seen in public for at least an hour and have time to reapply your makeup.
I love them and if you give them a try I think you will too.
