Despite the recent robbery incident that happened just recently at Greenbelt 5, me and my husband still frequent the area.  We go there at least twice a week for lunch, and at least once a month during weekends.  There aren’t a lot of shops, but I must admit that almost every thing I want need is there.  Just a few weeks ago, a new shop named Viro Casa, opened.  This store definitely had something I wanted — a gorgeous kitchen!  Take a look at some of the photos I took from outside:

There were other kitchen showcases (i don’t know what to call them! haha) inside but I didn’t dare to go in.  I know that asking for the price tag was futile as the only thing I could probably afford there was a tile.  Ok, maybe two tiles.    I’ll just admire them from a distance, for now

I’ve been wanting to try the eyebrow shaping service of Browhaus since they first opened, but held back due to feedbacks.  But when Novi of Hairworks Salon, the girl who does my eyebrows, went on a cruise (nah, she didn’t!  she just wasn’t well.  hope you’re better already, novs! ) last Friday, I decided to try out Browhaus.

I went to their Greenbelt 5 branch as this was the nearest to my office.  It’s not the easiest store to find though.  While it’s located on the 4th floor, the salon is tucked behind the main hallway; had to ask for directions pa.  Plus, the signage on their front door read “Strip”and not “Browhaus” (i forgot to ask why).

I went in and apolgized for being 10 minutes late, but I didn’t think it really mattered since the cubicles, where the services are done, were not occupied.

After filling up some forms, I was soon directed to one of their n number of cubicles.  It was spacious and had a comfortable looking chair inside.  Sure beats the one I sit on during threading sessions at the salon.

As soon as I was sat comfortably, the eyebrow technician (is that what they call them? haha) began to prep me by putting powder around the eyebrow area.  And then she threaded.  As soon as the thread touched my skin, I immediately noticed the difference between the Browhaus’ thread and the regular thread.  I can’t exactly describe it but what is definite is that the former’s didn’t make me want to kick the technician .  Not totally painless, but definitely less painful.  The technician was also kind enough to ask me if I was tired (of holding the skin around the eyebrow area – to prevent cuts), and if I wanted to take a break.  She also showed me how and why she is doing what she is doing, e.g., she didn’t touch the top of my left brow kasi di magpapantay if she does (o ha, naubusan nako ng ingles.  need to finish my judith mcnaught already ).

In the end, I still like the Novi-shaped eyebrows   But I love the seat And I looove the thread   Thus, my second session with them next month.  I hope they get my eyebrows as perfect as this next time (actually, parang ganyan na ang kilay ko eh. almost perfect. bwahahaha )
