Eyebrows raised

Any women worth her sex would have been there and done that at least once in her life time These are places by women ,for women and of women but now there are exceptions Now you have them by men and not -so- men for men and women…. yeah..... I mean the beauty parlours.
The shaping of the eyebrows is one of the most riskiest operations done here ,due to its placement on your face .Its the one object on your face that can make or mar your looks. Its also a tool for expressing surprise ,disdain and anger After shaping them ,some people sport a permanent expression of surprise. Now note …no two eyebrows are alike ( I mean the human ones ) .There’s at least a hair’s difference from human to human .Actually our forensic department can use them in case fingerprints are not available …Interesting…eh ?They a vary in form ,texture and colour more than you can imagine .There are ones which are like straight lines, there are curved ones, thick and thin ones ,and some nonexistent ones .
No woman will dare step out of her house without her eyebrows done .I have a friend who rushed to the nearest parlour to have her eyebrows done, the moment she heard that a close relative of hers was critical and admitted .
‘Eyebrow shaping ‘ the ,most riskiest operation done in a beauty parlour .It involves various tools. A spool of thread is considered the best among them ..If you prefer otherwise you can cut them with a pair of scissors (preferably the moustache trimming ones ),tweeze them into shape with a pair of tweezers or burn them over a candle flame (done only as a last resort )
A lot of women prefer tweezing as its cheap and can be done at home .Its a DIY process basically . .All you need is a good tweezer, time, a steady hand and tissue to wipe your tears of pain .A steady hand is a must or you can take the help of your spouse, your neighbour and any one who is visiting your house at that time .
Paring with scissors is opted for 1. when you don’t have a parlour near by 2.You don’t have a tweezer and 3 .You Have have run out of candles .and of course the shape you get is questionable .and so the best option is threading .(period1 )
Threading is an operation that requires experience ,skill ,dexterity and a good mood(optional for the beautician ) .You have for the one with all the quantities and when you do find it,keep it , its worth it .Even a distance of 20km will not faze you .
A skilled beautician will hold the spool in her right palm ,loop the other end of the thread on her left finger and balance a bit between her teeth (oral hygiene is a must for this )and then she or he will loop ,twist ,jerk and pull ,… at the hairs on your brow .Sometimes there are assistants to hold your eyebrows up or to hold you down .
Sometimes you specify the shape you want (a straight line, a zig –zag ,a la Bipasha ,a curve , etc )or else leave it to the beautician and God .After its done your brows are smoothened with a cream( so that you don’t harbour any ill feelings )and is let out with a smile and a “come again ”but of course not before you’ve paid for it …
Now the rates are not standard, it differs from parlour to parlour. It can ago from Rs10 in’ just started’ parlours to Rs20 and 25 in an ‘ A grade established ones and 30 to 35 in de-grande –classe ones ,where the décor ,the ambiance and the attitude so overwhelms you that you meekly submit to them and let them them have their way with your eyebrows.... and more often than not exit with none at all .
The silver lining to the whole process is that God has been kind enough to give us eyebrows that grow back. Within a month’s period you’ll be your bushy self again ,ready to try out the new parlour in town .
