it hurt, but not much more than tweezing
like having 3 hairs plucked @ once
they look AMAZING!!!!!


anyone else get their eyebrows threaded?

BTW i'm not sure HOW it's actually done, but i know she actually uses a spool of thread...i had my eyes closed LOL

i love my eyebrows now...love love love love love love

(PS: i know this thread will fail but fuck you!!! humour me!)

I am not sure this thread will fail. You present the topic in a very intresting way and it has a very strong novelty aspect. I have not in my life up to this very moment ever heard of eyebrow threading. For a moment is sounded like you had eyebrows sown into your skin above your eyes. What is it? What does it look like?

I always wax mine. I don't know anyone around here that threads.....I'm curious to see what it's like, but so far waxing has been working just fine.

Girl the first time I had mine threaded...it felt weird as hell, but it always looks great when its done.

well i have a pic from my cellphone
doesn't really show much tho

but she shaped them sooo easily!!

to tell you the truth i'll hafta look it up online 2 see how it's really done
i just sat back in the chair, closed my eyes, pulled my skin tight so the thread wouldnt catch on it (ouch!) and let her do her job lol

it stung, but i like it!

never heard of threaded eyebrows ...


PICS !!!!

I already admited to not being hip enough to know what they are. What's wrong with us?

I can't even picture what's going on in my mind.

This reminds me of that new sexual protection that is for women. It's a ring that last for a month. Where does that ring go and how does it stay there?

What is this eyebrow threading?

Mach said:

This doesn't help me one bit.

P.S. I told you this thread wouldn't fail. Now give me some love on my appreaseation tread

Mach said:

my fav nail shop had a lady that does this but she left the shop and move out of the area. the time that i had them done it was quick and they looked great.

i keep looking in the mirror im not vain, i promise!

The art of threading originated in Arabia and South Asia. Here at Shobha, we use special thread, which is twisted and pulled along the area of unwanted hair. The thread acts like a mini-lasso and lifts the hair follicle directly from the root. Threading services are available for anywhere on the face.

Threading is, by far, the best method to remove facial hair, here are some benefits :

The Ouch(less) Factor - It is found by many to be much less painful than waxing. Since threading only targets the individual hairs, skin irritation is kept to a minimum, unlike waxing, which often causes unnecessary stretching and removal of the skin's delicate top layers.

An Art of Perfection - Threading is very precise and allows our specialists to have greater control than waxing, resulting in a better brow shape for you!

Au Naturale - Threading is 100% natural, there are no artificial waxes, chemicals, or invasive techniques used.

We Take It All Off! - Even those short stubbly hairs can be removed; this gives you the option of avoiding that yucky growing-out period that everyone hates!

The Taming of the Flame - Minimal redness occurs after threading, and any redness that does appear, usually subsides within an hour. Threading lets your beauty secrets stay secret!

Anti-Acne - The majority of people that breakout from waxing tend to not break out from threading. Also, threading is completely safe and dermatologist-recommended for individuals who are currently using medications like Accutane and Retin-A.

Wrinkle Prevention - Warning: waxing can tug, pull, stretch, and even remove the delicate skin on your face, eventually facilitating in the development of wrinkles! But there is good news, threading does none of this! So instead of torturing yourself with waxing, choose threading which will leave you hairless and smooth!

i'ma stick to tweezing my brows. it's funny, i was talking on the phone with my dad last sunday and i had just got done plucking my eyebrows before he called me, so i told 'im. he was like, "why dont'cha just do like your mom did, and shave 'em all the way off and draw 'em on?"

yeah, my mom shaved her brows clean off and drew 'em on everyday with one of those red maybelline eyebrow pencils. i still remember the smell of the pencil as she did it, too.

Never heard of it

It hurts but it's worth it. Just hurts for a bit, not long.

TheCatWoman said:

same with threading
only it's a lil pinch
one of those forgettable pains lol

TheCatWoman said:

I used to get mine done at a place two doors down from a brewpub. So I'd have a drink or two before getting waxed. Since the move to Seattle, though, I just accept the pain, even though there's a similar establishment selling adult beverages across the street from the spa.

Yes, it is worth it... certainly beats a unibrow.

Generally speaking, it goes where you would expect it to go. Exact placement doesn't matter. It's held in place by the muscles of the vaginal wall.

A friend of mine likes it, but apparently she may have to avoid any hormone-based birth control from now on, in light of the results of a recent blood test.

SammiJ said:

How does it last longer than tweezing or waxing? I mean, ultimately you're doing the same thing: ripping out the entire hair, right?

If it does last longer, I may look into this.

BTW, anyone have any experience with the laser method? I figure it's probably cheaper in the long run if it works.

matt said:

haha @ drinks or two. Actually, I just bought a second set of diamond earings and wanted to get a second set of piercings so I can wear both set of studs. I can't handle physical pain :redface: . so I actually thought about having a drink or two.
