UPDATE: my previous review was a 5 star for the threader Ashwina.
I am SUPER upset about my eyebrows after my appointment yesterday. All the stuff I mentioned in my review before that was bad and I was so grateful that it wasn't happening at Blossom---happened.
I told my new threader that I wanted my eyebrows thick, that there are places that I am growing in and I want those to stay and that I wanted CLEAN UP ONLY. She even repeated "clean up only" back to me. Y'all...tell me why my eyebrows are NOTICEABLY much thinner and it is SUPER evident that one is thinner than the other. Yes. One of my brows is thinner than the other because terrible threaders in my past jacked them up. For 5 years I have worked with threaders to get that brow to be thicker and ALMOST matching my other brow. Is it still thinner? Yeah...however we'd gotten it to the place where they left hair in places that you'd normally wouldn't do that on my own--I could fill it in and match my other brow.
In one appointment, the new threader botched it and sent me back to what all those other threaders have done.
I'm sorry but how difficult is it to listen to your client? When your client says, "I want it as thick as possible. I don't want any shaping. I just want simple clean up. Leave these areas in, because I fill them in." --- why do you do what you want??
Honestly I'm really pissed about it. In no way shape or form do I like, appreciate or can stand thin brows. I have never liked thin brows. And now---I have thin brows. And it is infuriating. When she was done threading the botched brow, she said: "this brow is much thinner than your other one." That's when I knew she'd messed it up. Yeah dude---did you not see when I pointed out where I was growing them in??
From now on I'm booking appointments and I'll only go if Ashwina is there and can do them.
There aren't words to express how upset I am. Your brows can completely change the way your entire face looks and I am super upset bc I look like someone straight out of the early 90's and .... ok I'll stop.
My point is---one star for this recent threading, 5 stars if you go with Ashwina. And just a tip---listen to your customer, don't go rogue and do what you want. Even if you think what they're asking for looks strange---maybe they're asking you to do it that way for a reason. So trust them.
Previous Review:
I. Can't. Even.
And I mean that in the best way possible.
Many, many moons ago, my Indian mother baptized me into the threading family. In those days, most threaders operated out of their apartment and homes. The first time my virgin brows were touched by a threaded, I kid you not---my fist swung out and towards the threaders face. I could NOT believe the pain that served through me.
15+ years later ... I've continued getting threaded Bc there are NO results as good as the results you get from threading. Tweezers and wax never come near my face. It's threading that I use for both eyebrows an upper lip.
Yeah----us south Asian women have that thick hair, and it comes in thick more places than just our heads.
Over the past decade plus, I have been BURNED by bad threaders. I never went through a phase where I wanted my brows to be thin. I always fancied thick brows. So every so often, I would be the unlucky recipient of threading services of an over zealous threaded, hell bent on giving me pencil brows. SO---now, I don't let anyone even try to shape my brows. I ONLY request clean up. And I point out the places where I have tiny gaps Bc the hair won't grow back in due to afore mentioned threading sadists.
I recently moved back to the DFW area. And with said move came a refreshing oasis of threading options that Austin was sorely lacking.
However....afore mentioned sadists also reside in the area. So I was on the hunt, for a more mellow threaded who was going to listen to my VERY specific requests on how to handle my hair situation.
Enter the threading goddess Ashwina. She saw the pure fear and desperate vulnerability in my eyes as I very firmly said..."clean up only, no shaping, straight and close together center, thick all the way across."
She saw my sorrowful gaps in my brows and didn't judge me too harshly for allowing the previous sadist threaders to continue threading me.
Whisper soft threading. Every time I'm around a threaded who has that whisper soft touch, I know I'm in the hands of a VERY skilled threaded. Trust me, the sadist threaders out there will make you feel,with their heavy handed pressure, like they're searching for and trying to suck out your soul through each and every hair follicle they pull out. No such experience with Ashwina. Angel woman. I could have hugged her---but I prefer to not invade people's personal space.
Also----my total---$6.50. SIX FIFTY. Y'all. Y'ALL.
I can't recommend them more. I don't need people to smile, or cater to me when I seek their threading services. I just need them to not f*** up my brows.
