I have been chatting about Microblading with industry peeps for a while now. I wasn’t sure it was right for me but I needed to talk to an expert about it. Randomly, I was watching the lovely Sophia Amoruso’s Instastory, when behold – there she was, sharing her Microblading experience as it was happening. Perfect! I immediately replied to the story with a message to TELL ME EVERYTHING!! And she enthusiastically reported back that Shaila is the BEST for brows, period. I headed right over to Shaila’s website to learn more and make an appointment.
I just got home and yes, Sophia was right. Shaila is the bomb. She looked at my brows, which resembled a woman who had been in the wild a while (I was, after all, letting them grown in) and suggested a good wax, trim and some cleaning up and they would love more full. #GOALS.
I asked about the Microblading. She was full on honest – it’s not for everyone and no – I don’t need it. PHEW. Because no way can I go ten days without working out (a post blade call of order).
I was over the moon about my new and improved brow situation and learned that no, I don’t need to pencil them in like I’m connecting dots, to make them look full. She showed me exactly what to do. A little highlighter – then a brush of a line at the base the brow. Once you get that line, take your brush and brush that UP. That is it, my friends. Simple. No crazy penciling and lining and making yourself look all trannied-out. (Can I say that now? Crap, that might be insensitive- I hope not!) Bottom line. Go to Shaila, and get your brows set straight and on the right path.
Her prices are fantastic. Her studio is on Wilshire just past Westwood and right near my amazing diet doctor Dr. Sheila Hughes. Who I had just driven to see that morning. Also near Dr. Rivkin It’s a great stretch of a few blocks for this beautifying stuff – no joke.
