Beauty Parlor in Bangalore

Do you know how they give you an eyebrow arching in India? With thread. The woman put a piece of thread in her mouth to keep it taut, wound it around her fingers, and then did this complicated scissoring thing so that she could pluck a bunch of hairs all at once. It doesn't hurt. It's amazing. I was in awe. And for this she charged me 25 cents.

(Addendum from October 28, 2004 -- um, ok, they still haven't grown back. This is incredible. Miraculous. Stupendous. . . The woman who did them -- if you're ever in Bangalore -- was Mrs. Nagarathma R at a salon called Angels. Address: #267/1, 1st floor, 1st Main, 6th Cross Domlur Layout, Bangalore 560-071 Ph 2535 4180)
