WHEN ZIBA AHMADI BROKE THE WORLD RECORD FOR MOST EYEBROWS THREADED IN ONE HOUR, HER FIRST THOUGHT WAS, “I CAN DO MORE.” AND MORE SHE DID. On March 15, Ahmadi became her biggest opponent when she broke her own record in the Guinness World Records. Her new personal best: 102 eyebrows threaded in 45 minutes. This time around, the salon owner was not going to let her personal goal slide. Back in June 2021, Ahmadi aimed to thread 100 eyebrows in an hour.

Ahmadi expected no less from herself. Ahmadi had planned to go big this time around. Armed with a public relations team, she sent emails and connected with her clients to push this event to be larger than her last one. Shirts were made, and dances were planned to keep the energy alive for everyone. At the time, the conflict between Ukraine and Russia left a heavy mark, and she had a donation box set up to support Ukraine. The country’s flag overlooked the salon. Attendees had to register for the event in advance and find a replacement if they could no longer make it. Initially, 211 people signed up to attend; after several email blasts, 110 were confirmed to come.
