Eyebrow Envy

Tried this salon for brow threading for the 1^st time. I normally go to Seva Salon inside the Walmart on Gosford. I was a little hesitant to go here seeing only 1 review on Unilocal and such a low rating, but I wanted to experience this myself to see if the salon is right for me. It still looks like it’s under construction. Meaning, there is so much open space that it looks like they haven’t finished decorating. It was also very quiet– no music at all. So it was kinda awkward. They had nice handbags on a wall but with all that space, they should get a rack so that our eyes focus on the products instead of all the dead, unused space. There is 1 couch– they should get more. It almost seems as if the owner is not fully invested in the business. One small part of the wall looks like paper mache ribbons. I mean, I was thinking of unloading all kinds of ideas on how to improve the appearance of the salon. It is the appearance that scares people away. But nonetheless, I committed. I got my brows done. The lady, Soni, was very kind and friendly. The thread felt different– it felt like a lighter thread. I thought it was going to break a lot, but it didn’t. In fact, it hurt less than when the ladies at Seva do it. And she didn’t use her mouth. She was very attentive to how I wanted my brows and was very careful in not removing too much. I am pleased with her work. I would definitely go back. In fact, it beats having to go to Walmart (i hste going there) and is so much closer to my home. I’m happy with my experience. But to the owner I would just suggest doing a little more with the salon– at least put on some music. Also, if all you have to offer is just brows & henna, good luck.

This salon i went to was very empty and there was only one worker there. It seemed unpopulated and went along very unnoticed. As for my henna design, it didn’t look like what i wanted it to be. I came with a picture on my phone of how i wanted it and it seemed like she had rushed through the whole design and did not look like the picture very much, then when it dried the henna paste did not show up on my skin very well. Overall i would not recommend to my friends.
