Answer To The Question At What Price Beauty?

For those of you that have wondered the question “at what price beauty?” at any point in their life, I have the answer.

Today I stopped on my way home to get my nails done. I get acrylic over my own nails. I was a little overdue for a fill. The woman that got me is actually the one who runs the salon. She’s done my nails a lot of times and she’s the only one that’s ever touched my eyebrows. I hate having my eyebrows done because it hurts. Anyway.

I went in to have my nails filled, which is usually $15. I also needed a small repair on one finger. It’d been a while since I had everything taken off and started from scratch. She found a couple of nails starting to lift so I told her to go for it. UNfortunately I moved my hand while she was working on it and she accidentally hurt me. You could tell she felt really bad and was very apologetic. It hurt quite a bit and I just wanted to be finished. She asked if I wanted my eyebrows done and I made a little joke that since I was already in a little pain we might as well go all of the way and do the eyebrows too.

I sat in the chair and closed my eyes. I think that’s part of what I don’t like about getting my eyebrows done – it hurts and I can’t watch what’s going on. She did her thing and I went to pay and leave. If you’ve ever gotten your eyebrows done you know things look a little red and puffy and you can’t really see what’s going on there for a little bit, right? Right.

I paid and went home. My finger throbbing, I walked in the door where I was greeted with a strange look by RB. Then he laughed. As it turns out my eyebrows were a little crooked, making it look like I had one raised higher than the other as if to ask a question. I’m thinking that’s the end of getting my eyebrows done there.

So for those of you wondering “at what price beauty?” The answer is this – more than $37.

I’m going to bed now, it hurts to type.
