HD Brows, from €45, Empower Studio
I find eyebrows to be a very difficult thing to get done. How you like them is so personal to you and it’s not like you can hide them if you’re horrified by the results so I usually only get them done if I’ve had a really good recommendation, I’ve seen that person’s brows myself and I’m sure I’ll be ok. Fussy? Me? Luckily all of three of these things happened and I booked in to see Aisling in Empower Studio. Her own brows are lovely so I knew I was in good hands. What I loved the most was her precision. She stared at my face for ages, which would normally be odd but she was just figuring out what to do. She measured and measured again before she set to work waxing, threading, dying and plucking until I had the best brow shape I’ve had in a long, long time. I’m actually looking forward to going back such was my love of the result. The studio has just moved to a new premises in Ballsbridge and they have a special discount for U readers – check our Facebook page for details.
