Browhaus is a brow and lash salon which was founded in 2004 in Singapore and has invaded the Philippine market around 2008. It caters to your eyebrows and eyelashes` grooming needs. They have brow architects who were trained to professionally cut, pluck, thread and/or tweeze your eyebrows to provide you with a much more polished and precise eyebrow shape.

Besides brow grooming, they offer services like "Threading Complete Workout" which includes threading of the forehead, upper and lower lip, cheek, chin and sideburns and brow shaping, "Lash Services" such as Lash Removal, Lash Curl Up and Lashgraphy Color, and other services like "Eye Define" and "Lip Define". They also sell aftercare products, make-ups, and others for brows and lashes. You may visit their site to fully know more about their products and services.

As far as I can recall, I first heard about Browhaus through Miss Kryz Uy`s brow tutorial on her sister`s channel. When I first heard about it, I thought it was such an extravagant service because I wasn`t informed that there was actually a salon specifically for brows. It seems that in this day and age, more businesses are emerging with different ideas to cater pretty much almost anything. Anyway, I saw that Sampleroom PH, a site which gives products and services up for grabs at no or minimal cost in exchange for an honest review,  had a Browhaus voucher to be redeemed and experienced. Knowing that this particular service is not inexpensive, I grabbed a “sample” and only paid the shipping fee.

When I arrived at one of Browhaus` branches at around 7:30 PM, I showed the woman at the front desk the Browhaus voucher from Sampleroom PH. She redirected me to the woman beside her, and I showed her the voucher too. She told me that it was for “threading” and that it would only be at 8:00 PM wherein they can take in another customer. I asked her if I can then go back at 8:00 PM and I did. When I went back, I had to wait for about 5 minutes until it was my turn to be served. While waiting, she made me fill up forms because I was a new customer.

Finally my turn to be served, the brow architect asked me to lie down and told me what she`ll be doing to my brows while holding a mirror in front of my face. I had their “Classic Threading” which I`ve never experienced before. I had to close my eyes during the process but while the brow grooming is on-going, I could hear the “zzzzzssssstttt” of my brows. It actually hurt a bit. The feeling is like that of putting a scotch tape in a hairy part of your body, then pulling it off quite slowly but make the feeling of your skin a bit more sensitive since the brows` are in the face. The brow shaping process took about 15-25 minutes.

Below, you can look at the photos I compiled for the “before” and “after” shots of my eyebrows. I`ve been trying to grow them out so you could actually see the difference.

When the brow grooming was done, I looked at one of their mirrors and felt like there wasn`t really any difference but when I woke up the next day, that was the time I was finally able to see how they did because the hairs weren`t going on different directions and the hairs were trimmed appropriately. I liked that there weren`t any long or stray hairs. My eyebrows actually came out cleaner with a more precise shape than before. They did a good job. However, I think the price is quite high just to have my eyebrows done when there are salons out there that offer to groom eyebrows for a lesser price.

Over-all experience

All in all, the whole process of brow-grooming was not painless and the price for the brow shaping is not inexpensive but I think they did a really nice job in giving my eyebrows a more defined and clearer shape.
