A few weeks ago, I decided to grow out my eyebrows after deciding that I needed a new shape for them. I was going to wait another week or two, but just couldn't do it. I was becoming paranoid that people were staring at me, and thinking I had 'forgotten' to pluck.
Anyhow, I was shopping at Chinook Centre over the weekend, and stopped by Merle Norman to check pricing on waxing...then I recalled my best friend's story of getting a few layers of delicate eyebrow skin taken off by an esthetician there. Needless to say,. I moved on. Across from them, is Style Creation Salon & Spa. The storefront has many hair products, and styling tools. I happened to see a staff member standing at the front of the salon, so asked her if they do threading. She said yes, so I walked right in.
Five minutes later, Nicole ushered me into a small back room and asked me how I wanted my brows to look. She laid me down, and all of a sudden I started to panic a bit. I asked her how much it hurt, and she told me that, honestly, it's more painful than waxing, but provides more precise, and better results.
I was surprised to find out that, it actually didn't hurt at all! I would say no more than 3 out of 10. But keep in mind, I have been plucking for years.
When I looked at my eyebrows, about 7 minutes later, I couldn't believe how good they looked! I didn't really have much to work with in the first place, and Nicole had somehow made them appear fuller.
So thank you Nicole - I wish I had met you a long time ago.
I'd also like to menton that they charge $15.00 for the service, which a good deal compared to some downtown salons who charge $20 for the same procedure.
