I had only had my eyebrows done once by someone else, and after a bad wax experience in the salon, I vowed to never let someone near my face again. So, when my sister talked me into going with her to get our eyebrows "threaded" I was surprised to hear myself agree. I had anxiety all day. When I realized it was just a little spot in the middle of our local mall and not even a real salon, I swore I wasn't going to go through with it. Long story short, I'm glad I did! The ladies at Eyebrows Now are amazing. They were done in three minutes, and it takes me longer than that just to pluck a few stray hairs. It wasn't painful, just a pulling sensation. It was red after but they give you a soothing cream to put on that helped. My eyebrows looked great, and for only $8 it was way better than a salon price!
