Threaded and loving it...

I've got this thing with eyebrows. This will come as no shock to some of you. I'm almost monkeylike in my need to groom other people. I bought this cute little tool at Sephora and I frequently bring it in to work to clean up the nurses eyebrows. I usually have a line of girls saying, "I'm next, I'm next." So you can imagine my sheer delight when my friend Thea came into work with perfectly sculptured brows and described to me a place in the Kenwood mall that does nothing but eyebrows!!! House of Brows is a new store that specializes in threading. I didn't know much about threading other than that it was a middle eastern thing and the girls use thread to rip out the hair instead of wax. I had to know more but I couldn't do it alone. So I convinced my friend Brooke from work to come with me and we made a little girls day of it. Coffee, Sephora, brows, and pedis.

I was a little hestitant at first but I Brooke made me go first. Basically the girl used a spool of thread and with the end in her mouth, she made almost a cat's cradle with the thread and somehow it pulls the hairs out. I've seen marvels of medicine and many, many surgical procedures but I couldn't quite wrap my mind around how she was getting the hair out with this piece of thread. I've decided that its difficult to understand the wonders of the universe. =)

So the end result is that my brows look great. They are full and lush and I wasn't irritated after like I typically am when I have them waxed. Brooke looked amazing too! She had tears in her eyes because the change on her was so dramatic. So girls and boys (yeah you know who you are!) go get threaded! Hanin is her name and eyebrows are her business.

Oh yeah, got a pedicure at my nail shop..it looks great too but it can't possibly compare to the lush little pillows that are my eyebrows.
