Lifestyle and Beauty: BROWHAUS Manila

January 16, 2012

This is the first time that I am going to write about beauty and lifestyle since I did a bit of revamp here on my blog (noticed my blog header?). I have been receiving invites from everywhere asking me to try their service and products not food related. So I guess now is the best time for me to give way and share my thoughts on these things to you my dear readers. I hope you stay with me as I tip toe my way slowly into expanding my blog. But do not worry, since YedyLicious is still primarily a food blog, I will always be dishing out all things delicious as we all eat our way through living the good life.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

There couldn’t be a better way to start this segment than to write about something I believe in. With that, let me share with you my experience at Browhaus located at the 2nd floor of Serendra in Taguig City.

Browhaus / Tab Abad, the owner



Browhaus is your one-stop urban grooming pitstop which offers brow and lash grooming services. We know for a fact that eye brow can make a whole lot of wonders to our look. That is why at Browhaus, they make it a point to give their client the best possible service they can offer, to give their valued clients the confidence to present their best face forward. Always.
My sister and Tab

Last Saturday, my sister and I had an appointment at Browhaus.  We met Tab Abad, owner of Browhaus Manila and had a little chat about the services they offer.  Speaking with Tab gave me a whole new perspective about the science and the art of brow beauty.  I used to not care about my brow but after our session at Browhaus, I realized that indeed it made a difference in my look as compare to the usual tweezers and mirror process that I normally do.
Wall of Reviews and Raves About Browhaus

Browhaus is a franchise that Tab brought from Singapore.  It has 2 branches here in Manila, one located at Serendra while the other is at Greenbelt.  A 2 to 3 months of training done annually by the experts from Singapore to secure the level of skills and expertise of their Brow Architects.  Aside from their commitment to quality by using and upgrading products and equipments, they also conceptualize quirky campaigns which mirror their creativity and commitment to the industry.
During our visit, we tried their Browgraphy which mainly focus on two things; shading and shaping.  My sister has had a problem in terms of dealing with her brow since she got her hair colored.  Aside from that, uneven growth was also a challenge. Uneven brows that doesn’t match with colored hair isn’t really the most pleasing appearance that one can have, so we deem that it is best for her to have it fixed at Browhaus.
One of the Brow Architects

The process started with coloring of the brows.  They use 100% vegetable-based dyes so it’s completely safe. Tab told us that it is a big no no using the same dye that is used to color one’s hair to color your brows.   I have also experienced the Browgraphy and despite my mean allergies, I didn’t experience any allergies not uncomfortable feeling during the process.  I got mine colored in the shade of dark brown by the way.
Before Browgraphy at Browhaus

The color tweak lasted for about 8 minutes but it depends on how light you would want your brows.  Since my sister has a light brown hair, the process took for about 10 minutes.  When the desired color was achieved, the process of shaping the brows through threading begins.
After the threading, they put a cold cream to the brows aptly called “ice cream,” but not the real thing, to lessen the redness and to close the pores of the skin.  Couple of minutes more, then my sister looked well groomed with a spanking new colored and nicely shaped eye brows!  Since they lighten the color of her brows, it goes perfectly well with the color of her hair now.  It was also shaped into something that compliments the shape of her face.  She’s so happy about the outcome the same way I am happy about mine.
After Browgraphy. The color now matches the hair!

One of the many things I love about Browhaus, you would know for yourself that the Brow Architects are very knowledgeable in what they do.    They explain the step by step procedure while they are doing them so that their client would know the progress of the session.   After the session, they would give you after care tips as to how you can maintain the good looks of your new brows.

Aside from the services (listed below) they offer, they also have products in which you can’t buy anywhere else but at their stores.

Brow and Lashes Care Products
Browhaus takes precision seriously.  I witnessed that after having a session with them.  For that, I have no doubt recommending them to anyone.   I’ve never had my brows well groomed in perfect precision before, but Browhaus gave me that.  My sister has been raving about it since, so obviously she’s very happy with the service. Just like anything else, maintenance is the key for long lasting good look so we will definitely go back to Browhaus for our brow care.  I am also thinking into trying their Lash Services in the future.

  1. Nice! I've visited their place in Serendra to have my eyebrows done. The brow architect assigned to me recommended to have it grown pa; she thinks the Mexicana type of eyebrow would work well on me. I'm looking forward to my own Browhaus experience! Can't wait!

  3. This is a the more high-end brow place, right? The interiors look amazing :) I've been meaning to try their service(s), but I find them a bit pricey. I was unsure if they're worth the price, until I read your post :)

    Will definitely try them out :)

  6. This is really cool, I wish they had a branch a bit up north (I live so far!) I'm still interested though. I've always had a problem with getting my brows the same shape. :P Maybe I'll let my brows grow out then head to the pros.

  7. Actually, I'm a frequent customer of Browhaus. They're actually the only establishment that I trust for reshaping my brows. Others kasi tend to shape my brows in a mataray-kind-of-fashion :))

    1. Hi Stacy, if you've read the entire post you would know that it's actually my sister who's in the photos and not me :) And about the left eyebrow slightly raised, I noticed that too, but it's not usually that way.

  11. Wow these brow services sounds really exciting, I wish I could also try them but my brows, I guess are the least part of my face that is fairly given attention. I should visit browhouse or the likes soon, I need to try the wonders of all the latest brow enhancements and resurrections and see if they're worth my money :)

    Your blog post is a great reference by the way :)
