Testimonials

Yesterday, I did something I have longed for for 15 years. I never imagined in my wildest dreams it would become a reality. A HUGE thank you to Shihan Day Spa for being so wonderful. Some of you know, I have been struggling with Trichotillomania since I was 8. It started off as an anxiety coping mechanism. Turns out, it's also something that people with BDP turn to to help us deal with and regulate our emotions (the compulsive act, which turns into routine eventually). Around 10, I had no eyelashes and no eyebrows left. I was never able to stop because it had become part of my identity. I have also never been able to talk about this because it has severely affected my self-image and took away any self-confidence I managed to obtain. This post doesn't mean I'm ready to start talking about why I continued this habit or how it started. But I wanted to share the pure joy this has given me. For the first time in years, I actually have HOPE for my future. Thank you to all of you who have supported me and who have accepted me and my flaws. I am beyond thrilled for this new chapter.

my cousin's dog bit me in the face and caused pretty severe scarring around my jaw and lip area. this was an extremely traumatic incident and left me physically debilitated. i couldn't look in the mirror for months and needed lots of therapy to slowly recover emotionally (not quite there yet ....). i stumbled across shihan's place for just eyebrow threading and we started speaking about my scar tissue. i was already consulting with dermatologists and had an operation and other treatment to reduce the visibility and disfiguration. she introduced me to the idea of "microneedling" and "permanent makeup" as options to promote healing and hide the scarring. i was very hesitant because i've already been traumatized so many times but she was very informative and my dermatologist was actually a client of hers and recommended her services.... ABSOLUTELY LIFE CHANGING!!!! i did the microneedling service to reduce scarring ( 3 out of 4 sessions so far) and it has made such a noticeable difference on not only my scarring but the overall health of my skin. i dont understand the science of this treatment so for me it is just a magical feat of science that has improved my confidence and overall appearance. i also did a lip tattoo, which sounds a lot worse than it actually is. when we first did it, it was only to hide the discoloration in my lips and hide the damage but when i saw her skill i wanted to do it again for cosmetic reasons and now i cant stop looking at myself in the mirror sometimes i really wish i was introduced to this place earlier but am grateful for the timing and will update you guys as i continue my treatments here
