I know, I know, two reviews in a row... but I had to share my first time experience with THREADING.
For those who haven't heard of "threading", instead of using hot wax and a strip to remove the hair, these artistic ladies use a string of thread instead. I had heard of this crazy technique before but was too much of a wimp to try it... today I stepped out of my box. I mean, I did tell myself in 2016 that I would try new things, right?! Though this isn't much, it's a start.

While I was sitting in the waiting area of Miracle Eyebrows, watching the ladies work on other clients, I was amazed at how easily they were doing this process. They would take about a foot long of string out, bite half of it, twist the rest, and went to town on the eyebrows with the twisted end. They were so fast, but so precise. I was beginning to get nervous when it was time for me to go. Lying down in the chair, the woman told me how to hold my hands: one pulling my forehead up and the other pulling my eyelid down... this makes the skin tight to thread, but also to show where she is threading.
So, it began... and it was nothing at all how I imagined. I thought they did one hair at a time... no no. It felt as if a razor or knife was scratching against my skin... over, and over, and over. They did a row at a time, then went back to individual hairs left. With my teeth cringed together and my eyes crying an entire ocean, I was debating to myself if I could continue with the pain. Ladies, we all know, beauty is pain. As the threading continued, I got used to the feel of it, especially by the time she switched eyes. I, then, actually liked the feeling. Would I do it again? Sure. Would I do it every time? No. But it definitely was a cool experience. I would at least recommend others to try it for the heck of it. It was $15, when my normal waxing at the nail salon is $12. Not a bad deal.

Here's to new experiences, starting off with my new eyebrows are that are officially back on fleek ;)
