I want y'all to know that people have bad hair days. But I also have bad eyebrow days. Like, some…read moredays when I have no idea what I'm doing, when one is short and fat and the other is long and thin. I hate doing my eyebrows. Hate it.
Yesterday, I went in to your West Covina location, sans appointment to ask about pricing. I paid $33 for my eyebrows to be waxed and sculpted, and my lip waxed. That's an excellent price, especially for me to have a professional fix my eyebrows.
My professional was Robin. Let me tell you, I get stuck with a lot of rushed, surly workers to do anything from my eyebrows (threading) to my nails. I hate it. I don't expect someone to entertain me, but that awkward space between stilted conversation leaves a sort of bonding cut short. Robin reminds me of my hairdresser, whom I followed from her previous place of employment because my husband and I loved her skills and her personality.
Robin laughed with me, she advised me, with knowledge, not like she's trying to sell me the most expensive product, but like she was trying to save my from myself (thank God, I don't buy makeup, so she was my damn savior).
She was able to show me where I went wrong with my plucking, what needed to be grown out, how to outline and fill in. Basic stuff for some women, but I'm not one of them, so it was so, so wonderful of Robin to not make me feel like an idiot for asking those questions.
I'll be back every month for a touch up from Robin, because a) I like not having to do it myself, but mostly b) it's nice to experience a professional artist who wants to ply her skill and teach others how do it, too.
Much thanks to Robin for fixing my face. My cotton candy hair thanks you, now my eyebrows don't distract from my awesome hair.
