try this :: threading

in my never ending quest for perfect brows (and the next new thing), i popped into Beauty By Dolly in Hillcrest for sugaring (see this post.) and found out that they only do threading on brows.  i'd hear of this, so i decided to give it a go and i'm a fan! does it hurt?  duh. but really no more than waxing or plucking and it is super quick. plus, i liked that there's no hot wax so close to my eyes #makesmenervous. if you're in the san diego area, definitely check out Beauty By Dolly - it's walk-in only, they can pretty much always see you right away and it's very inexpensive. def my new spot!  xo, k

try this :: sugaring

per the suggestion of a lovely gal i know that writes for the huffington post and instyle.com (and therefore is an expert on all things beauty in my eyes!), i tried sugaring at sugar me in portland.

love, love, love! i had my eyebrows done and it's the same concept as waxing, except it's virtually painless and all natural. here's how salon owner, kate, describes it:

sugaring is…

…100% natural. no resins or toxins.

…sugar is removed in the direction of hair growth which means less breakage + less ingrown hairs than with waxing

.…heating just to our body’s natural temperature, making it safe for super sensitive skin

.…sugar can extract very short hair…about 7 days of growth as opposed to 2-3 weeks of growth needed for waxing.

give it a try!
