Re: So how much do you think is too much to pay for getting your eyebrows done?
I’ll share my not-so-awesome story :
I was about 16 years old when I first got my eyebrows threaded by an aunty. It was a major FAIL. She over threaded, plucked a lot, I was left with a very very thin shape, and gaps in between my brows, she even told me to put black kajal pencil to fill in those gaps. I actually did what she said.
Everyone at home noticed my eyebrow and didn’t say anything. My father drove me to my phopho’s house, she had a lot of magazines on her table and calmly asked me to browse them and point a single woman with thin eyebrows. I did what she said and there were about 15 magazines, I only found natural shaped thick or slightly arched ones. I got my first lesson from here.
Then I once got them threaded professionally for 7€, the shape was okayish but I had an army of pimples of my forehead.
I went to a professional gori salon with my friend, she was before me, the beautician plucked very few hair and then took 17€, the shape was the same, she did nothing special and I walked away.
The only time I got them done again professionnally was at my brother’s wedding, and that stupid woman over-threaded on purpose saying ‘wedding are extravagant and your eyebrows are to be noticed, you’re the groom’s sister everyone needs to notice you’, I was fuming, but yes, people did notice me and asking me countless times ‘why are you angry ?’. Second lesson here.
Ever since I’ve been waxing them by myself, and my major beauty blunder was trusting these so called professional women to get my brows done. I get 20 wax strips for 8€, thus 40 eurocent per waxing, which I do once in a month or even once in 6 week. It’s wayyy cheaper and I love the shape. I had posted a thread with pix here.
