I'm always jazzed when I discover a little gem in my hood. Found this one on a neighborhood stroll this week. THREAD. A full on threading only, as in no wax, salon. This place is so simple, right down to the gorgeous, immaculate, minimal modern design (love the graphics!), affordable ($15 for brows, me likes) that it just makes perfect sense. I so want peeps to know about it because the woman, Kalpana, who worked on me was phenom.
Once again, $15!!! for gorgeous brows. Oh and if you don't know what threading is, it's a fantastic, ancient (though not, er, pain-free) alternative to waxing. The 'threader' uses a spool of good ol' fash thread and does this cool little maneuver over the hairs which pulls it out from the root. I'm super sensitive to facial waxing and this has been my go-to hair removal technique for years.
After that, a little brow trim, a dab of lovely Yonka toner swabbed across, an you're good to go, albeit red, blotchy and horrible skin-reaction free. At least for me. The upper lip hurts like a mo-fo but once again, nothing compared to what wax can do or leave you with if you are wax-sensitive. It's said that threading lasts longer as well. I'm totally sold on this place and it will now be my go-to hair-free face salon. Ooh, and I can walk there! Lucckyyy!
