Review: Browhaus

Hi guys! I'm going to share my experience at browhaus recently.

POSB credit card had a promotion a while ago whereby brow shaping services were 50% off so I thought why not give it a try. I made a reservation one day before and went to the mandarin gallery outlet.

When I went in, I decided to add on a upper lip threading as well. Before the therapist started, I told her I didn't want thin, high arched brows and showed her a picture of my desired brows and she told me she will try but may not be exactly the same. She threaded my upper lip first and it was very fast, like less than 5 mins.

 I guess I have a slightly higher than average tolerance of pain but I must say the therapist is pretty skilled. There is a lot of abrasions with the skin and the skin will start to feel a little hot and prickly. They will put a cooling gel at the end of the threading.

My eyebrows took the longest time. Around 20mins, that is because I have bushy eyebrows and a lot of stray hairs. I went to those facial salons for eyebrow tweezing before but the lady was like afraid of shaping my eyebrows and just plucked away those tiny stray hairs and it was so painful! So this therapist at browhaus was really skilled that I didn't feel pain except for some threading and tweezing near the eyelids. I really love the end result of my eyebrows! The therapist even taught me how I should fill in my brows and explained why she couldn't trimmed according the picture I showed her because my brows are naturally high arched unlike the Korean styled horizontal ones. The cashier did encourage me to take up packages but it wasn't really hard selling. I didn't take up the package in the end as I didn't like paying money upfront. Besides, without the promotion, their brow shaping service is at a pricier side. I will see how my brow grows out but most likely I will be coming back again unless I find another cheaper place where I am equally satisfied with the result.

After I went home, my skin above my brows felt sore though the redness had subsided. It started to break out on the 3rd day onwards, where white little bumps appeared. I had not broke out that badly in a while :( guess the cleaning wasn't done properly and perhaps due to the fact that I have rather sensitive skin. It took slightly more than a week to completely heal. But I am still happy with my brow shape! Many of my friends realised that I shaped my brows and I received many compliments!
