眉カット。。！

When beauty is considered a noun of importance, it is not only dangerous but expensive. I'm a Middle Eastern woman, meaning my hair grows and grows for days. When I came to the point that the caterpillars above my eyes became a caterpillar I knew I needed someone to trim back the abomination that took over my face.
When researching on my own I couldn't find a single place in Tenri that did eyebrow threading. I was beginning to worry because I wasn't about to travel all the way to Tokyo for eyebrows and I knew I didn't have the patience to do it on my own... I don't even own tweezers...!!!

Masako & the Cashier

In a panic I asked a new friend of mine and she helped me find Obje! It's a small shop very close to the student apartments in Tenri City that does "eyebrow cuts". This shop doesn't wax or thread. Instead Masako (pictured above) brushes out your eyebrow, trims it, and uses a very thin, sharp razor to get a precise shave around the main part of your eyebrow. At first she'll ask if you want a design. Usually in the states I don't shape anyway so I just explained I'd like it if she could just clean it up for me. 

Masako was very gentle and understanding. She was meticulous and continuously showed me what she was doing while asking, "How's that?" Usually when I get my eyebrows threaded I dread the experience but she has a very kind personality which easily translates into her work. I have darker hair so a bit of where she had shaved and didn't get close enough shows a bit, but it's still better than doing it myself. 

Obje also does hair appointments. I didn't have an appointment for anything but I still got my bangs cut and eyebrows done. I'm fairly certain for haircuts you'd have to make an appointment because when I asked the cashier whether or not reservations were necessary he hesitantly asked if I was just getting a trim. 

It's a very small building that's easy to miss. If you're starting from student dorms, cross the Tenrihondai and walk down the length of the train station. On the opposite side of the street is Obje. Right now it's across from an apartment building that's under construction. In the future though? Well, it's tall and white... Very modern looking. 

Nevertheless! If you want waxing or threading good luck if you're coming to Tenri. The only threading I've been able to find is in Tokyo and they charge out the ass. 30$ and up. 

 I paid 52５￥~! A good deal and いい経験でした。
