Janie,
Yes. I feel abit pain when doing xiu mei. For some of my frens, it will be slightly swollen for 2 days. After that, it will peel off abit and the colour will be very natural liao. Yes, I went for touch up 6 mths later after I 1st embroider. Hee... mine shd be embroidery. But hor... got "wen mei" and "xiu mei" and xiu mei is very ex... at $400+. Mine is only $150... so maybe mine is wen mei? But the last time when I enquire, the beauticain told me that the difference between the 2 is that for "xiu mei", they will "draw" the brows using strokes so tat it looks like real eyebrow hair cos only hair has strokes. But unless u use magnifying glass to see, you can't tell the difference lor.
Koi,
I spent $150 and everyone says it is nice. I did mine at Bishan which is a very popular place. The waiting time is 7mths for appt. Let me know if you are interested.
