STELLA'S ADDICTION - Eyebrow Threading

Hello Hello!

Hope you all had a good week! Either way, be happy you survived! lol :D

So the last time I blogged about threading was 2 years ago, you can read that here. And to be honest I haven't updated with anymore new places to thread in Lagos because I just had not discovered any that matched up to that... not until NOW!

I can't remember the first time I found out Stella threaded brows, but I just made a mental note to visit her the next time I was due one. It's good to have options I tell you, because what happens when your 'regular' is out of town???

So yesterday I finally went down to the Stella's Addiction Studio in Lekki Phase 1 (address in this post). I was a little apprehensive, because I felt I had found somewhere good enough, why change?  I mean your brows essentially frame your face and botched-up brows can be very traumatising... and no, I not in the least being dramatic. But like I said above, it's good to have options, so off I went!

How did my brows turn out? Have a look below:

I am so so so pleased with the results!! These are my brows with absolutely nothing in them, no pencil, shadow I don't even have any eyebrow gel! Just brushed through with a brow brush. They are a lot thinner than I have ever had them, but Stella is so meticulous and she wanted my brows to be as identical as possible and she did an AWESOME job levelling them out!

I always have to fill-in my brows slightly just to cover a few gaps and extend the tail, but as you can see she threaded them so well, I hardly need to fill.

I highly recommend Stella, guys! And she also talks you through what she's doing, so if you don't want  what she recommends, then you can state your preference. Nothing like a beauty-expert that actually LISTENS, and not just talks AT you because they 'know what you want'... *pet peeve*!

I recommend threading your brows over a razor. With a razor, along with cutting the hair off as close to the root as possible, you are also scrapping off a layer of your skin in the process. Albeit a teeny-tiny layer of skin (which is why you don't feel any pain), over time it will become evident when the hair stops growing and the area becomes shiny. Also with threading, the results last a lot longer.

But tell me anyway...

What's your preferred brow-grooming method and why?

FACIAL BAR - Eyebrow Threading

So I calculated that I am in a beauty salon every other week. This is mainly because I need to get my underarms (eek!) waxed that often. I've got THE most sensitive underarms ever! Can't use hair depilatory creams, would NOT even put a razor to it, even certain sleeved clothes irritate me (depending on the fabric)! So yeah, I need to be in a beauty salon fairly often. And waxing is 2nd nature to me now, I bb or talk on the phone whilst I get anywhere waxed, THAT used to it! *insert 'Weirdo' here*

So you can understand my fear when I decided to move back, because I had NO idea where to get waxed in Lagos. Facial Bar was my first 'beauty-discovery' upon moving back and I've never looked back. I've been going to Facial Bar consistently for two years now and I have only got high praises for this place. Although I now alternate between them and Barazahi (another beauty establishment, post on it soon). Facial Bar is run by the lovely Lakshmi and she is the sweetest lady.

This past weekend I went in to get my eyebrows threaded. I only let Lakshmi near my brows, no one else.

Before she touches your face she has a mini consultation. Asks what shape you want. And hands you a mirror so you can check her progress at every stage.

I had to wait for her to finish off a facial, so plenty of time to take a few pictures for you guys. Unfortunately couldn't get pictures of the treatment rooms because clients were in them.

They recently expanded to Radisson Blu Hotel, so you can pop in there if you want to. Address at the end of this post.


Price:
It costs N3000 to get your brows threaded at their shop on Musa Yar'adua. (Don't know if the price varies at Radisson). You can also have them waxed if you prefer. Facial Bar also offers other treatments like full body-massage and the popular but pricey Oxygen Facial (N35,000). Visit Facial Bar online here!

Saw this at the reception in Facial Bar and thought it was HILARIOUS!
