Priscilla Zhou urged people to “always do your research” before having chemicals lathered on your face as she regrets naively jumping into a supposed beauty bargain.
“I’ve never been a fan of my eyebrows, and so I thought, ‘why not? Let’s go get brow lamination for $55’,” she started.
“Yes, you heard that right – $55.
“And I thought to myself, this is either gonna be the best deal I’ve ever scored or I’m gonna come out looking real f****d up.”
Priscilla recorded herself getting the lamination done and said once the perming chemicals went on was “where things started to go very south”.
