Wedding Prep | HD Brows | Bad Experience
2020 Update; Since writing this post in 2016 I have become a qualified beautician and owned my own beauty business since August of 2016. I can say with full confidence that my experience was bad for the price. However! I have not been to this salon since then and maybe something has changed.
I will leave this blog post live instead of archiving it and if anyone is reading this and wondering where to book in for lashes or where is a good place for brows, hit me up ;)
Ok I'm writing this post on the coattails of my lashes post. I went to the same salon elysian brows. Shoutout again to this over priced salon. So I had been there a few days previous for my lashes and I was still blissfully unaware of what a bad job they had done and how overpriced it was. So I went for my HD browns, although they don't actually do HD brows they do a shape and tint.
Stupidly I went with a full face a makeup on, hoping the lady would just remove my eyebrow makeup. How wrong was I, when I got there she removed my eyebrows and about an inch above and below of my makeup and nicely blended cut crease, with a very wet cotton wool pad with alcohol or something on it, all dribbling into my hair either side of my face. Just cringing of how wrong it felt aaaah. Then she proceeded to start threading. My lovely new lashes acted like a canopy as all the eyebrow hairs were threaded and flew straight onto my lash extensions. (Anyone know how much of a pain in it to get something, especially hair into your eye when you have lash extensions) I just lay there wanting to explode.
Some customer came into the salon and the lady who was doing my lashes seemed to know her and obviously wanted to get me out of the way so they could chat. She put the die on my brows and left me for about TWO MINUTES, maybe less, then wiped it off. She showed me the mirror, I could barely open my eyes from all the eyebrow hairs that were in there, but my brows looked the exact same, just a bit of shape and no colour difference at all. I just wanted to escape and walk home with a bag over my face, seeing as I had two massive patches of makeup missing and my mascara from my bottom lashes had streamed everywhere. It was awful. It was 36EUR.
