My 1st Visit to Browhaus :(

It's been a long time since I trimmed my brows. Post-pregnancy left me with thick unruly hair, untidy eyebrows, an enlarged bone structure, flabby tummy, and constant sleep deprivation. Sounds bad huh? It's no wonder post-pregnancy blues are not uncommon. I am glad I only had a brief encounter with the blues stage though I am still slightly unhappy with the lack of sleep. But things will get better after I stop breastfeeding...it's just a couple more months to go and hopefully I'll be able to enjoy the luxury of sleep then. And hopefully, my little one will learn to sleep longer through the night soon.

Sacrifices of being a mother, though I must add that the joy of hearing my little one's coos & oohs, and his giggles never fails to bring on a smile. Guess there are good & not-so-good parts to motherhood, but I am determined to eventually reverse each 'ailment' associated with post-pregnancy.

I have since gotten a haircut and managed to squeeze some time for a home pedicure 2 days earlier. Since I have just turned a year older yesterday, thought it'll be nice to spruce up my brows. Decided to try Browhaus at Malacca Street as it is located near my office. I picked the threading cum tweezing service which costs $20. The staff who attended to me was pretty friendly, though the trimming was so-so. After the session, i noticed there were still some fine hair that she didn't remove and have to ask her to pluck those as well - so I felt that she didn't do a thorough job. And she didn't reshape my eyebrows either...just merely followed the original shape.

What I didn't like about this outlet was that they were hardselling stuff to me. First, it was this $45 eyebrow serum which purportedly helped to hasten hair growth in overplucked areas. Then they recommended the brow resurrection which costs a whopping $1200, but the manager could give me a 20% discount if I paid for the service the same day. They got a staff to draw my eyebrows to show me how my brows would look after being resurrected. Honestly, my brows looked nicer but definitely not worth $960 . I wonder whether I can get the same effect from drawing my own brows. And obviously, they tried to sell me the trimming package too. But I was already feeling uncomfortable with their hard-selling, and did not purchase anything eventually.

I stepped out of the shop abit disappointed that an upmarket outlet like Browhaus also resorted to the crude marketing tactic of pressurising customers to make purchases. Would I go back again? Don't think so...i think i get better results and no pressure at a fraction of the price from the eyebrow threading shop at Little India.
