A beautician applies jiaomian to a female client in Nanning, Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region on April 24, 2011. Jiaomian is a traditional way of using two threads to pull out the fine hairs on the face and to shave eyebrows to give them the trademark shiny look. Zhuang ethnic women follow the tradition of having jiaomian before a wedding, which offers a beautiful start to married life. However, jiaomian has faded out as the introduction of the modern western beauty salon. [Photo/CFP]
