Andrea’s Waxing Studio

I’m super excited to have bought my first GroupOn.com coupon – I got $60 worth of waxing service at Andrea’s Waxing Studio which has a 5 star rating on Yelp.com for $30! WOOT!! Now the hard part…which service to get? I kind of am nervous to go to anyone else besides Katie at Skintuition for my hoo-haw waxing so I’m thinking maybe some eyebrow arching and my arms. Cus they both need it like whoa LOL.

Review coming soon!!

Michael Ruth Salon in Sherman Oaks

Ok, so I am super-duper loving my hair that Rocio did at the Michael Ruth salon. I wasn’t shocked at the ridiculously high price this time, but only because I was prepared for it. And it WAS ridiculously overpriced. WAY overpriced. But I look and feel fabulous. I’ve got to figure out a way to keep going, maybe I might have to only go a couple times a year, and find someone more affordable for my in-between maintenance appointments. I’m keeping an open ear for referrals in the valley.

I also decided to get my eyebrows cleaned up while I was there, and it was reasonably priced at $20, but I don’t recommend that you spend them money. I have fierce brows, but the brow chic wasn’t really able to pull of anything more than mediocre. I’m waiting for them to grow out so that I can reshape them myself back to their default status of fierce.

It’s the Little things that Matter Most

Some lip filler, a new set of veneers and some fringe bangs can make a HUGE difference – but even thought its just small changes, it’s going to take a huge chunk out of your wallet.

A series of restyline will cost you a nice heftly $800-$1100 approx depending on how much you need, if you have a coupon etc. bangs will run around $40 bucks from a good stylist, and the teeth? The teeth will probaby set you back at least $10k depending on how extensive the work is. My guy friend just dropped $20k for a full set of dental veneers.� Oh and don’t forget the $30 brow maintanance just while we’re calling out figures. Stay fabulous & broke….xoxo!

Eyebrow Threading

If you have never gotten your eyebrows threaded, you really are missing out on perfectly sculptured brows. Yea it hurts, but beauty hurts, bitch! When I was in college at CSULB, I would take the bus to the Cerritos Ziba Beauty to get mehndi, threading and whatever else I was in dire need of (read: could afford at the time).

While walking in the Topanga mall the other day, I noticed a banner saying that Ziba Beauty now had a boutique on Nordstrom part of the mall. Sign me up!!! I am going to make my way there this week at some point, so my review will be up later on.

Since I am a huge fan of Ziba, I am confident that this boutique will offer fantastic services like the others in the lower southern cali area. As I get older, I am having some bad results from facial waxing and am looking forward to nice smooth skin minus the breakouts

here is a video I found on youtube that shows threading, although the woman who did mine put one end of the string in her mouth between her teeth and used the free hand to smooth/pull the skin.
