About
The concept for what would eventually become Seva® originated back in the late 1990’s during a trip to the Little India neighborhood of Devon Street in Chicago, IL.
Serial entrepreneur Vas Maniatis was left pondering his fate while his then girlfriend and now wife of more than a decade, told him she wanted to get her eyebrows threaded at a local shop. Not caring the least about eyebrows and practically running away at the thought of needles (there’s no needles), Vas reluctantly agreed to accompany her to get her brows done.
“I remember walking into this spartan little storefront on Devon and it was packed. As I looked around, I saw salon chairs filling the entire circumference of the shop and each and every chair was occupied by a woman having her eyebrows threaded. In a matter of minutes and with what looked like hands and arms and a spool of thread dancing to some peculiar rhythm, the customer would get up with amazing looking eyebrows. All in less than 5 minutes! I was mesmerized!"
That day, I realized that I had just witnessed one of those rare cultural gems hiding here in the USA right under our noses... eyebrows. I knew right then and there that this magnificent and ancient technique needed to be exposed and disseminated outside of the Indian community.
