Well, terrified as I may have been to leave the waxing world, I am glad I did my research. I saw the great reviews on Yelp for threading and could not ignore the rave reviews online for Fabulous Eyebrow Threading!
I called to make sure Merci was working and made my way over. I waited about 5 minutes for her to finish up a waxing appointment in one of their back rooms. While I waited I was greeted by a guy working there (I actually think Marco's husband) he offered bottled water, tea or coffee. Which was really nice!
After just a brief wait, I sat down in their chairs, which are roomy and comfy. With threading until waxing, she asked for me to hold my skin taught. It was actually nice to have a small task to do, it kept my mind off it. I have never had threading done before and it was not too painful. Nothing more than waxing.
Merci also did my lip and sides of my face. Warning, the lip is more sensitive than the brows, but that is usually the case in waxing too. She also said that it takes a couple return visits to rehab my brows from waxing, since my previous lady trimmed my hairs too short.
All in all a great first experience! I will never look back to waxing again. Especially since it was $30 for my whole face! FABULOUS!
