I've been a couple of times before and both times I came out with eyebrows way too thin (you could say I was left thread-bare hahaha) as I hadn't been engaged in any kind of consultation beforehand as to what I wanted from the brow grooming. If I were to describe them with punctuation I'd say I came out with brackets when all I wanted was quotation marks: a bit of size variation to spice up my face a smidge.

| My eyebrows before all this threading business began. Looking at them, I think I actually preferred them. (Please excuse the eye makeup - I was going to a party dressed as a Christmas tree.) |
Today I took matters into my own hands and drew the brows of my dreams in pencil on a Post-It note to show the brow people.

| The Post-It Note of Dreams. (It seems the Christmas tree eyebrows weren't far off. Why did a mirror not inform me of this?) |
The lady looked at the sketch and set to work. During the experience she intermittently took a pair of scissors and had a little snip here and there. Sat with my eyes closed and head back I started daydreaming that she was taking the scissors to my nostrils to begin snipping at not my nose hair but the skin where the nostril meets the main part of the nose. Thankfully I was consciously daydreaming otherwise there's a chance I may have screamed out accusations at the unsuspecting threading technician. That would have been a hair removal story to tell the grandkids. I still ended up coming out with eyebrows a bit thinner than I'd like but they're becoming a bit less bracketey and headed quotation-markward.

| To get the shape I want I have to manipulate my forehead. |
 |
| Neat. |
 |
| OK, OK, we get the message. You've got eyebrows. |
And at least my nose is still in tact (not that you'd know it from these photos).
