If my eyebrows aren’t done, I’m not going anywhere. Simple as that. Coming from a middle eastern background I have always had thick bushy brows and upper lip hair to match. Early on in my life I was taught that Threading is the best form of hair removal as it not only removes the hairs but removes the dead skin cells as well and leaves you with soft, glowing skin. I first started going to Vinitas which is a chain Indian threading salon, and realized they were thinning my eyebrows too much regardless of how many times I had told them to keep my eyebrows in a naturally thick shape. Then I decided to try a different spot and chose to go to Ziba, which is another threading salon that has locations pretty-much everywhere. I remember the day clearly, I walked in, signed my name, and told the receptionist to book me with the best eyebrow lady that worked there. After a 30 minute wait, my name is called and I am greeted by the sweetest soul in the world, Audrina A.K.A. Gucci. That was around 7 years ago, and I am so lucky to say that I have remained loyal to her and followed her to every salon she has moved to, whether it be in Glendale, or all the way in North Hollywood. Yes, she’s that good! She will sit you down in her chair and take a look at your brows, listen to what you want, provide her opinion, and work her magic on you. About 10 minutes later, you look at yourself in the mirror and you cant help but fall in love with your face and your eyebrows especially. I’m known for saying “Thank you for turning me into a woman again” jokingly referring to the fact that my hairy features make me look manly and coming to Gucci transforms me into a pretty swan.
