Embroidery..

I am one of the millions unlucky girls who have a set of very sparse eyebrow. It could be due to the fact that when I was seven or eight, I shaved them off using my grandpa's shaver in an attempt to 'shave off any facial hair I could see'. My mom was furious of course, I was never to be left alone in my grandpa's bedroom ever since. I can't proof this, but I have a feeling that was why they never grow back. Because if you see my sisters and brother, you'd be surprised to see how thick their eyebrows are and mine seems like they are too shameful to show themselves!

And that's why I resorted to having eyebrow embroidery done. I had my eyebrow embroidery done for the very first time two years ago. I found out about it way earlier than that, but I was skeptical... I didn't want to end up looking like the 'aunties' who had their eyes and eyebrow tattooed in permanent green ink! And they used to cost a lot more than now.

The first time I had them done was in a spa I always frequented in USJ Taipan, Veqish Spa. Now, they did good job but I wasn't satisfied. It wasn't good enough for me. So, I needed to wait almost 2 years for the color to fade before I can do a new shape & color. This time, I went to Bluunis in Subang Parade.

The process wasn't that much different from the first one I had. They shaped the eyebrow and shaved off the stray hairs. They then colored in the eyebrow using eyebrow pencil. This is the difference; Bluunis showed you the shape first, to see if you're ok with it before they proceed to the embroidering. After you are satisfied with the shape, you will then be taken to a room to start the embroidering process. Contrary to what the beautician may have told you, it is quite painful. To me personally, it felt like having my eyebrow plucked which was painful because I'd always prefer shaving rather than plucking.

I ended up with thicker eyebrow and the wound being fresh, was sore. But Bluunis provided me with a cream to help soothe and speed up the recovery process. The 'excess' will come out slowly and it took almost a week to see the final result.

The cost is just under RM300, but I'd say that it's worth it! Here's photos:

Day 1: Pardon the 'fresh' face, I just had facial and the embroidery done!

Through Day 3/4 : The color has 'shed' a bit... Almost showing the end result!

After Day 6 : Final result and I don't look like one of the Star Trek characters anymore!
