3 years ago, I did my first brow embroidery at Sophia Brow
House, my beautician was Apple Sun back then, she did a great job for designing
a brow shape that suit my face, click here for my previous entry details.
As years pass, the colour of my brows fade with time, I was very busy with my work
and study back then to get my brow fixed, so I have to maintain my brows with
the help of eyebrow pencil once again. Very nice of Apple, she leave me a short
message on my blog telling me that she had left Sophia Brow House some time
back, if not, I would need to do my research again to find a new good brow designer.
Finally completed my final exams a few weeks back and have some free time to spare now. Without hesitation, drop a SMS to Apple to make an appointment with her at her
new place, The Brow & Beauty Boutique . Sadly, her daughter, Tiffany, called back informing me that Apple is out of
town and will not be back any time soon in the next 2 months. I was really
disappointed to hear that, but Tiffany provide me with an alternative, she recommended another beautician to me, Sharon
Wu. As usual, I will not rush into any quick decision making that will
determine my “fate” for the next 2 years, chances of living with ugly looking brows. I did
my research some research before my appointment date.
Sharon Wu, the second leading eyebrow designer at The Brow &Beauty Boutique, with 18 years of rich experience in this industry. She was
previously from Sophia Brow House as well, I went online look up on her work,
her work are pretty awesome, so I decide to give it a shot.
Once I reach The Brow & Beauty Boutique, I was greet with warm
welcome by the staffs and Sharon came over to attend to me shortly. To my surprise, this is what I saw in the shop, my write-up was display in the shop, hope my write-up on Apple's work have bring them a boost in sale.
Firstly, Sharon start the session by removing my brow drawing to have a better look at my previous embroidery, it was
almost all gone. Then, Sharon shape my brows a little, ask about my preference
on the brows shape, did some recommendation on my preference before she start to
design my brows for me. I admitted that I was quite picky when come to my look,
I request for quite a fair bit of amendment before I finally settle with one.

I was surprise that how much this industry has evolve in 3 years.
Back then, I did a 3D embroidery, it was already consider a very delicate work,
but now, they had already advance to 5D stage. Just a short description on the
different between 2D, 3D and 4D work.

Since I already tried 3D before, I decide to go for 4D this time round as per recommended by Sharon, more stokes compared to the 3D, giving the brow a more nature look. One thing I like about their service is that they will only provide you with recommendation which suit you best, final decision is still up to you, they are not pushy for you to sign up any package or push you to go for a more expensive option, this is what I call business ethic.
Before the session start, I informed Sharon that I have very low tolerance level for pain around my brows area, so I requested to be on the anesthetic cream for a slightly longer period of time as compared to many others.
(On the anesthesia cream for 30 mins)
After 30 mins on anesthetic cream, time to get the session started. No doubt, the anesthetic cream was really powerful, throughout the whole session, no pain at all, no wonder Sharon told me that some of her customers actually dozed off during the session, she not kidding me after all.
The embroidery session ended in around an hour time, now take a closer look at my brow after completion, look at the details, doesn't it look like real brow's hair? My brows look a bit dark and area around the brows was a little swollen as well now, but that is only for the initial stage, like usual, thing will get better after a week of healing.
I shall end my entry here and will follow up with a new post soon after my next touch-up session in a month time. Thank you Sharon for her patience and awesome work, I'm very happy the the brow shape she designed for me.
If you are interested to get your brow fixed as well, please contact Sharon from The Brow & Beauty Boutique at the following to make an appointment with her. It is recommended for you to call before heading down to prevent disappointment, as her appointment slots can be rather full at time.
