I am a 75 year old woman whose eyebrows were basically nonexistent. I decided to have them permanently done at Highbrow after some research.
To say the procedure has made a difference is an understatement. I used to spend 10 tp 15 minutes trying to draw eyebrows only to be dissatisfied with my best efforts. It is a great time saver for me and with lipstick I'm ready to go. The brows look quite natural and I am so pleased with Jill's work.
I am now considering having eyeliner done. I have found myself being grateful each day.

I've enjoyed my Highbrow emails
I've enjoyed my Highbrow emails. I would like it if they added more classes, but I like getting a short email every day about a topic. The quizzes are fun, but you don't have to take them.

really not bad
Looks like there's no much new topics coming out daily but enough for a year to get through all you're interested in so as for me it's really worthy to shell out on it.

Lots of interesting stuff to read and learn from......
Sometimes lacking in enough new stuff that is relevant to me so I have to take a break for a month until something interesting comes up.

Overall a great resource for self-paced learning
I have learned interesting, helpful, and/or enlightening things through each of the Highbrow courses to which I have subscribed. I have gotten a lot of helpful tips for boosting my productivity, in particular. The art classes, such as the impressionist artists course and mindful creativity course, were very pleasant.
However, I do find it irksome when I come across the occasional typo and/or awkward writing in a course - which I know can be easily fixed by a careful copywriting and proofreading process. Spelling mistakes and awkwardness in the emails negatively affect the content and my learning experience.
On occasion, I have also found that the amount of text in a Highbrow lesson is too heavy to manage. In this case, this has caused me to pause my Highbrow learning for that course and file it away from my inbox, for a later time when I can digest the information more thoughtfully.
I have found that the courses that are more broken up with graphics and images are easier to read. It might also be helpful if there was a stated suggested or estimated length of time that it would take a reader to go through a specific lesson (e.g., putting the estimated time for reading at the top of the email in the header, beside/below the lesson title). If possible or applicable, an estimated length of time for doing the "lesson homework" would also be helpful. These precise estimated or suggested time lengths for each course could make it manageable - even if just psychologically - for folks to carve out time in their day to do the reading and homework at some point in the day, especially if they have a packed day.
Overall, I am very happy with my experience with Highbrow, and the plethora of interesting and diverse courses to choose from. I think this resource as a micro-learning tool has a lot of potential. Thank you in advance for considering my feedback.

I like what I've seen so far
I like what I've seen so far. I do however think that all lessons could be more elaborate and with more information. But that could possibly just be me.

The topics are of real interest and most courses share information that is new to me and useful in day to day activities.
