My New Eyebrow

It had been a long time since I last had my brow done. The last was in April 2018. I read back my blog and saw that I have to suffer the 蜡笔小新 look every 2 years.

My brow has started to fade. I had to lightly draw over them before I stepped out of the house usually but it was an easy job given that the shape is still very much intact. I would love to go back to Beauty Recipe, the salon that I did my brow the last 2 rounds. Unfortunately, the salon is no longer around.

With the starting of Phase 2 and the possibility of returning to the office in a couple of weeks, there is no better time to get my brow done. I will have plenty of time to hide at home and have nicely recovered brows when I finally have to go back to the office. Yay!

After some google of good review eyebrow embroidery places in JW, I found Avone Beauty right in JP. I had walked past it many times and it is a nail salon, I didn't know that they do eyebrow embroidery as well. There were quite some good reviews and I decided to take the plunge. Appointment book right after P2 starts. I wore my cap to help hide the new brows later.

I had wanted to do the 6V eyebrow embroidery. There is some kind of promotion going on and 6V brows cost $616 with 1 year unlimited touch up. The last time I did mine, it was in D and I had the 6D one done. I am not sure if D = V. Avone Beauty also has the 9V brow and that cost over a thousand. Woohoo!

I was tended to immediately when I arrived. My beautician, Grace started drawing my brow and then recommended a combination of 雾, which is 4V and strokes (6V). Then quoted me the combined price of 4V ($406) + 6V ($616). Siao ah! I insisted on keeping to 6V. In my mind, I was thinking that it is the same one set of eyebrow regardless of the method, why would I pay double price? Moreover, isn't stroke supposed to be the more advance method? Why would I pay to do an old method? I do have to say that I really like the brow shape drawn by Grace.

The beautician then discussed with her manager and came back with a discounted price of $880. I get a free facial on top of that. Sorry, still not keen. She tried hard in trying to sell me the 2 combined Vs. Sorry, not keen.

I finally had the numbing cream on.

After a good 30 mins wait, I was ushered to the only tiny facial room at the back for the embroidery. Grace tried one last time and offered a last price of $717 without the free facial. Since it is not much expensive from the original 6V price, I took it. She said that based on her 专业 opinion, a combination will really look better. This is always the thing with such services, you never know how much discount they will eventually give. It is like buying stuff from one of those night markets; see how hard one bargain.

Two different kind of blades were used. The 6V has the usual ziak, ziak, ziak sound. That sound is damn scary. The 雾 method is a poking method like tattooing but definitely less painful than tattoo. The embroidery this time is slightly painful. I am not sure if the poking method is more painful or the numbing cream is weak. Anyway, it is bearable.

I asked Grace which method is more difficult and she said 4V. Sure or not? She also said that this 雾 method is not the same old tattoo method. Whatever lah.

One side done.

All in all, it took about 2 hours.

The actual brows looked a lot darder in indoor lighting condition. Grace said that she didn't give me too dark a brown already and asked me to come back for touch-up 28 days later if I wanted to a darker shade.

On the way home, I got Lil Shauna's Tiger BBT bcos there was no Q.

The moment I am done ordering, I turned back to see a line of 8. Heng ah.

This is for me. Hehe. Bcos also no Q. Haha.

Right after eyebrow is done, we went to visit NaiNai. I have my cap on to try to tone down my brow and to hide my grey hair. The hair dying is next in Q.

So many things to do before I become presentable. So busy.
