Is this a hint?

I was at the pharmacy next to Trader Joe's (Rockridge) yesterday.  I think it's called Pharmacia?  Pharmacaca?  Pharmaldahyde?  Whatever...

The lady (her name tag read "Regina - esthetician") working there was helping me find a facial scrub.

Then she suggests I try out some face powder.  Oh - I should have prefaced by saying I went in there totally fresh-faced.  Nothing but sunscreen and rosacea (and a pimple or two) on my face.  So, yeah - she suggests powder and I don't object.  I don't have to buy it and it can't hurt to have a dewy, shine-free finish on my skin when I head to Trader Joe's for my grocery shopping.

As Regina - esthetician is leaning over my face applying powder she says "I also do brow waxing if you're interested".  Um, OK.  How does one respond to that?  It's clear I don't currently wax my brows so she's not suggesting it as an option for "maintenance".  So clearly she's implying that my natural brows are unsightly, right?  

What's a girl to do?  I wasn't born with sparse, chola-esque brows.  Nor do I have a unibrow.  I don't think it's wrong to have natural, middle of the road brows.  Is it?

Hmmm. Hasn't this happened to you before? I think they're just upselling - Nothing to take personally. Cuz, you KNOW I'd tell you if you needed a hair related cleanup.
