My naturally ‘free range eyebrows’ are often in need of a decent tidy up at the hand of a professional with a good tub of hot wax. I’ve learnt the lesson all too often that ‘tweezing’ them is up there with cutting my own fringe and making my own clothes. Turns out that vital link between my hands and eyes just does not exist (as pictures of me, aged 12 with a bald patch and wonky hemline with atest to)
Despite there being a plethora of beauty salons around London town, I often struggle to find an appointment that I can make after work. Luckily I’ve found The Beauty House 5 minutes from Old Street and Barbican Stations, tucked away in a forgotton street in Clerkenwell that fits nicely into my walk home (via waitrose)
Introduced through the wonder of coupon website KGB Deals I secured a eyebrow wax and eyelash tint for a mere guilt inducing £3. On my arrival the small salon was not exactly a Glen Eagles spa but did the trick, a friendly receptionist greeted me and I was soon whisked away to my private treatment room.
A record breaking 30minutes later I was happily plodding home, checking out my the newly refined upper half of my face in car windows. Despite my eyebrows being naturally different heights (I spent weeks as trying to raise one and it never went back down) Sam dealt with them expertly, they are the perfect length and shape.
Having previously been left with 2 week long panda eyes at the hands of a stropy Benefit therapist I was nervous about having my eyelashes dyed again but the flattering ‘blue-black’ colour has added definition and volume making my eyes look bigger and more awake, without mascarra. Even better, I wasn’t left with a single tell tale sign – no black rings or bloodshot eyeballs.
All together a bargain package, well executed. The salon may not be high end but if you’re in need of a cheap and fast tidy up out of office hours this is the place
