Have you ever had your eyebrows threaded instead of waxed?

I had it done for the 1st time today and much prefer over waxing. It was less painful, quicker, and less expensive.I started to get up & run when she said I might feel a "paper cut" sensation as this was being done. But I persevered, and it was a piece of cake. Didn't feel like a paper cut at all. I highly recommend it.

Be happy,
Kim

Never. I've heard of it but I wouldn't even think of trying it.

I let my eyebrows alone! I'm no fan of pain! LOL

I've never heard of this. Not to be bragging I don't need to have no more than a tweeze now and then on a few hairs

To everyone interested : here is an article on the pros and cons of eyebrow threading.... and a link on how to find a threader near you.




  • The pros of threading: Precise - threading is the most precise way to remove hair. Technicians are able to take a line of hair out at a time which creates a more defined shape. Waxing can be messy and won't get all the fuzz around the brows. When tweezing one hair at a time, it is often hard to see the line you are trying to create.



  • Dermatologist-approved - Threading does not harm your skin like waxing does. Wax can burn you, along with taking off layers of healthy skin when being removed. Threading is dermatologist-approved for those with sensitive skin and those on skin-thinning acne medications such as Accutane and Retin-A because the technique is non-invasive and does not irritate the skin. This also means that your skin will be red for a considerably less amount of time than with waxing, so if you have a date and you realize that your brows are creeping around your face, you don't have to worry about being red hours after your treatment.
