String....not just for tying things up anymore!

I found myself off of work early on Christmas Eve, and decided to head to the mall near where I work. Some one should've shot me in the foot for even heading in that direction!! In the midst of the chaos, i decided to pamper myself some by getting my eyebrows done. I found a cute, new little place which was different, instead of using wax they used thread (it's actually called threading)

It boasted claims such as "no pain" and "virtually no redness" and "all natural", plus it just looked pretty darn cool to boot. There was a little uncomfortableness at a couple of times, but it was way better than the pain from tweezing! I also didn't have the tell tale red uni going on after about 10 minutes(it doesn't take off skin layers like waxing does, that is why the redness goes away so fast). Also, it is supposed to last longer and your hair should grow back finer.

I'll definitly be going back! My brows look better than they ever have :) The lady who did mine learned to thread when she was 5 (5!!) years old. I find it super cool to be able to witness a true skill, which was passed on from her mom, sisters, and grandma. She had actually never even heard of wax or tweezers until she came to America!
