I have been in the slow (torturous) process of growing out my eyebrows that I let get a little too thin for my face over the years. Janeen has been amazing. I had already let them grow in a little bit by the time I found her, but she has completely changed them! She really takes your whole face, look and even personality into account when shaping your brows. She's very thorough and will give you her input on what she thinks will work best for your face. She takes her time, steps back, really looks, thinks about it, puts on these crazy bug-eye magnifying glasses and looks like the mad scientist of eyebrows. It's fantastic! Also, she explains what she's doing and why she's doing it before she moves on to taking out (or not taking out) more hair. She is extremely deliberate with each hair. Which I really like because someone changing your eyebrows is essentially changing your whole face and can be very scary.
Basically I just let them grow in and train the hairs to lay on my face the right way and she shapes and cleans them up. I have been getting absolutely non-stop compliments (even from my oblivious boyfriend!) on my eyebrows and how great they look now- even though they're not fully grown in yet, they're already so much thicker and beautiful. You wouldn't even notice that I'm growing them in anymore and it's only been a few months.
She is naturally very soothing and the whole experience is very spa-like. You walk in, she gives you clean slippers and a drink, maybe even a little fruit (I got lemon water, or maybe it was tea, and pineapple on my first visit). Then she takes notes and has an individual file on every client. This way she knows what products work best for your skin (any allergies, the shape you want, etc). At the end of your eyebrow shaping experience (which includes soothing music the whole way through), she gives a VERY relaxing face/neck massage. The lotions she uses smell so good I want to eat them. And then she uses this low-toned bell. I can't explain it but when she rings it and puts it next to my ears, the vibrations it gives send chills all over! I know it sounds weird but it's my favorite part. I nearly fall asleep and the session ends with me leaving so relaxed I'm nearly dazed, a face that smells good enough to eat and eyebrows that for the first time in my life are getting compliments!
