I stopped in a mall just north of Detroit and saw a storefront that was totally dedicated to "beautiful eyebrows"
Now, I have been known to have my brows waxed every now and then when I am getting my hair cut; but i was astounded that there was enough money in eyebrows to run an entire salon inside an expensive mall dedicated only to two square inches of space on faces.
Is this a Detroit thing or is this common all over the country? I have to admit I haven't even been inside our local mall since last Christmas.

There is one in the Florence Mall (here in little ole' Kentucky!). Personally, I think it would be a colossal waste of money for a business venture, but then, I also think the mall is a colossal waste of money. We had to go to Penney's for some patent leather baby shoes for Violet, and saw the storefront from the entrance to the mall...

California was BIG on that when I was out there a few years ago. I was always being stopped because my eyebrows run on the thicker side. : )

My crazy mother wants that, Alee. Something on her lips. I make ruthless fun of her, so I don't think she'd ever go through with it...I swear, over and over that I am NOT her child. I hardly comb my hair and she wants to look like she has lip color on at all times!!!

Waxing is not for me, thank you. My twice a year hairdresser talked me into waxing my eyebrows. My eyes watered for the whole day! I had these strips of hair for eyebrows. I hated the pain and I hated what it looked liked. Each his or her own, but diffently not for me.
Any who... I knew I was was from the country when: one of my older sisters begged me NOT to wear my red boots to a wedding! LOL I still laugh about that. ROFL

My nephews little girlfriend just took a two day class to do "that" (whaterver it is) to eyebrows. I laughed at the thought but, now reading this feel a little silly, I guess it is popular.

Yes, Teresa, that's what I said, and that's what I do now. Never again.

Well, since I turned 50, mine get unruly sometimes, and some of them are grey, well to be honest, many of them are grey. Since I dye my hair, my eyebrows don't match....
Especially the long crazy ones... But, my regular salon can deal with them, I don't need a special eyebrow salon...

I guess I'm lucky, My brows are ok with me, I do occasionally pluck one that grew 2 inches over night but a store just for eyebrows sounds crazy to me. I don't think I would want to work in one either.
Hope all your days are Sunnydays.

I have had mine waxed a time or two and the time a good part of skin came off too, well, I decided no more waxing. Besides a stylist once told me that it ages your skin quicker. I dont need any help with that either. I pluck what needs to go, that is, as best I can see them. LOL
