The cleanly kept salon utilizes safe and sanitary threading practices to quickly shape and exfoliate the brow without using chemical solutions or hot wax. Threading is a gently administered ancient art that lasts longer than other shaping techniques and won't leave you with sore side effects such as bumping and redness. Skilled brow stylists rave that the technique gives them more control than waxing and delivers a more precise look.

The Chinese mapped a network of channels through which energy, or qi, flows through the body. Tentatively naming it The Inter Net before discarded the name as silly, practitioners discovered that an uneven or dammed flow of energy through a channel could cause disease, pain, and sprinkles.
