Surprise!!!

I discovered not all wax is good wax. I went to the nail salon to get my brows "cleaned up." Now as nervous as I was, I thought this $9 job can't be too bad. They do this shit all day, they're professional. So I decided to put my trust in their hands. I closed my eyes titled my head back and felt the warm wax touch my skin. She cut a piece of cloth which I thought looked more like a gauze pad and proceeded to rub it on the wax. Ten seconds later her exact word was "Oooops!" Now did this lady just say what I think she said? Of course my first reaction was not to beat her ass but to ask "What's wrong?" She said " Oh nothing, nothing!" How I interpreted that was maybe they were just stray hairs, no big deal. So she hurried and did the other side. I felt something different on my left brow as she was doing the right...almost a feeling of being somewhat naked. She did the right side and when she got done she acted rather odd. She was looking for a black liner pencil. I was so excited to see what my "cleaned up" brows looked like that I reached over for the mirror when she was busy looking for a pencil. She realized I was about to look at myself when she yelled and said "I no done!" Well ok then...something was definitely strange. She looked away again and since I had the mirror in my hand I quickly put it up to see myself, and Ohhhh Shit! Why do I look surprised even when I was expressing anger? Oh yes. Cause she didn't just wax stray hairs, she waxed half of my eyebrows with an arch so high I looked like RuPaul. She said "Oh it's fine...just fill up with pencil like mine!" What the hell? Lady...you ain't got no eyebrows! You draw yours on! I was livid! Shook and nervous that I would jump right for her throat, I did everything to talk myself out of assault charges. I spent a few minutes mourning the loss of my eyebrows. It just didn't make sense why I would need to now draw my eyebrows when I had eyebrows before this. With my head hanging low I walked over to the cashier to settle this transaction. She had the audacity to say to me "I give you half off!" Whaaat? "Naw bitch you took half off!" I paid, no tips. Sat in my car in disbelief and when I had enough courage to look at the beauty catastrophe in the mirror...I had to tell myself "It'll grow back...in the meantime, go rock that Surprise look!"
