Ziba Beauty

Liza had to return to work and Michelle didn't want to drive all the way out to Victoria Gardens by herself. I needed to, or better put, wanted to go to REI, and so our urban adventure was set.

I've heard of threading eyebrows, but had never seen it done before. Ziba Beauty at Victoria Gardens (across from Urban Outfitters) does threading (like plucking), mehndi (henna tattoos), and waxing. They are apparently a chain who has a impressive celebrity client list.

Michelle signed in and was waiting for her turn. I remember hearing from some of my female friends that they don't do their services on men. I was curious as to why so I asked the lady behind the counter. She said the only restriction for men is waxing in certain areas. She said "we do men all the time!" With coaxing from the cashier and Michelle I decided to have it done. I can hear the laughter already, but I'm secure in my manhood so there! Ha ha ha! Oh...we did go to REI afterwards too =)

It was an interesting sensation. At one point I was wondering if I was in pain or if it was just different. The faster she would thread, the better. When she slowed to get bigger chunks of hair, that's when it stung a bit. It felt like a zipper on my eyebrows! She went to town between my eyebrows and after about 10 minutes I was done. I felt a little sore/raw afterwards but now, 3 hours later, I feel good and it's no longer red.

Now I know about this place, call me and we'll go sometime! And later I'll take you to Ben's nails for a manicure and a spa pedicure. =) That will be a story for a different blog I guess. Ha ha ha! Oh...if you can convince me, I have given facials and full body oil massages. However, it is a service only for someone special =)
