Hairy Arms and Unibrows

"Hairy Arms and Unibrows" is a coming of age story of Aida Radfar, the mastermind behind The Thread Bar, Los Angeles's successful eyebrow studio. Growing up was beyond difficult for Aida, for many reasons. She spent most of her childhood resembling a boy because her mother had a clever idea of giving her a boy's haircut to avoid the agony of combing through her unruly hair. In addition, growing up with the hairiest arms in school and having a unibrow didn't help either. She was taunted and physically bullied by her classmates, overcoming the odds for being now secure with her hairiness, and using it as weapon to contribute to her success. Being who she is today, came with a price. She had a few brushes with bankruptcy thanks to her lightening speed hair growth, but throughout the years, she researched economic and efficient ways of keeping her hair on the down low. Being hairy is a huge part of her life and instead of writing a thesis on it, she decided to share her heroic and inspiring story-wax, tweezers, razors, thread and all.
