This spa, owned by the Anitra family, specializes in brow threading but also offers
facials, manicures, waxing & henna tattoos (if you are so inclined). I’d heard about threading but
never had the opportunity (nor the desire) to try it. It’s a centuries old process used mostly in

process lasts for up to two to six weeks, about as long as tweezing, but more hairs are pulled

It’s immaculately appointed with a large secretarial desk and an ergonomic chair. Across the
room, you will find two well-cushioned chairs and an ottoman flanking a small side table with a
