As someone who has just recently begun to grow out her bangs, I'm the first to admit I had grown accustomed to being pretty hands off about my eyebrow upkeep (read: downright lazy -- hey, they were tucked behind some heavy fringe after all). Luckily while I was in New York for Fashion Week a couple of months back now, Kim and I had the chance to visit the kind and knowledgable folks over at Shobha, to whip me back into tip-top eyebrow shape.
Not only was the experience all together painless (I had my doubts about threading, trust me) but their staff was very quick to explain everything in detail, step by step to help me better understand how to literally frame my face with a few, very simple eyebrow shaping tips. This being my first threading appointment, I can safely say I'll be on the hunt for a good salon in my neck of the woods in San Francisco (and, of course, visit Shobha when I'm back in NYC)!
Huge thanks to Heather from Shobha for inviting Kim and I out. Amazing how a little pampering goes a long way, right?
How about you guys? Have any eyebrow maintenance tips? Or perhaps threading salons you swear by?
Krystal - it's been a while since you've posted a pic of yourself sans shades. Good to see your face - especially with your nice new eyebrows! Happy Friday girl!

I rarely did anything with mine, until about a year ago when the women doing my nails looked at me and goes "you come back and I do your eyebrows now".....I had not mentioned it the whole time we were talking, it must have been bad! Beautiful top picture

When I lived in LA my aunt used to take care of my brows for me. It was great! But now I carefully pluck based on how she taught me.
ReplyDeleteI have an eyebrow place in every city I frequent, but when I am in Baltimore for school I go to Usha Spa, she is the best in Baltimore and occasionally I am lucky enough to have Usha herself make a masterpiece of my eyebrows!
ReplyDeletei have been threading my eyebrows for years now, i will never go back to waxing them! i always go to ziba - its a chain now but i used to drive from LA to artesia just to get my eyebrows done!

I am so happy I found good threaders in my area. Once I started I knew I'd never do anything else. Blush Beauty Bar is basically my knight in shining white thread! I keep trying to convince my friends how much better it is than waxing, but so far no one has taken the bait.
ReplyDeleteI manage to thread my eyebrows once a month, its not very high maintenace and looks great ;)
ReplyDeleteI have never waxed my eyebrows as I'm scared that it will be an experience gone wrong and I'm left with no eyebrows at all! I pluck mine religiously, and a trip to the Armani counter at Neiman Marcus saved my brows. The makeup artist said I had a good natural brow and to just fill them in just a bit to create a more natural/full effect. I swear by this eyebrow pencil. It's pretty genius: http://www.saksfifthavenue.com/main/ProductDetail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524446206341&afsrc=1&site_refer=GGLBASE001&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=3360372093480

Threading is just marvellous! It gives such a great line.. xx
ReplyDeleteI was also very relaxed about my eyebrow maintenance for a long time, but recently I decided it was time to tame those beasts. I now get them waxed every four week and it's amazing how something so simple can have such an effect. It's an instant polish.
ReplyDeleteAfter waxing I always walk down the street with my head held high, even though my face may be a little red or puffy haha
You two are so lovely even if you don't put something on your faces. Very Gorgeous!

I've never tried threading but one of my friends gets it done and swears by it. I just wax. A random tidbit: if you wax and get super red and stay super red for awhile like me, dab some visine (eye drops) on the skin. It really helps!

Would love to get threading done, but I'm just too lazy :-) I just use my Tweezerman to do the necessary: it's amazing how it transforms your face to have the right shape!

In England you can struggle to find good places to thread your eyebrows... I converted after I started dating my Indian boyfriend, whose family praise the wonders of threading. I get mine done at Selfridges in Manchester - at a brow bar called Blink. The manager is fantastic at threading and tinting my fair eyebrows, and making them look thicker than they actually are. I feel so much more made up after my monthly trip!
