Umm...Yeah so my 17 yr old son asks me to go to the mall with him last weekend cuz he says he wanted to go to this shop again, but did not want to go alone So while shopping, we find the place and it's a shop where one can get their eyebrows threaded I'm sitting there while he is having it done like WTF! It looked painful to me but when the lady was done the end result was fabulous It cost $10 which I guess wasn't to bad for ten minutes of work Anyway, I thought it was interesting Any orgers ever have it done before? Who was brave enough to go under the thread?

did ya see the eyebrow thread? mostly their talking about just bad tattooed ones. but no one brought this up yet. i've seen the kioska at the local malls. personally idk. i keep my tweezers always on the sink so if i see a stray hair its bye bye. idk if i'd trust another person to do my brows. end up looking like a drag queen and be posted in the bad eyebrow thread

Eyebrow Threading

Is that the new fashion of making threads about eyebrows? I didn't know it had a name. Maybe it would need a new Forum

My eyebrows are thin, in that they trail off. I'm careful with the tweezers, because I could end up looking like John's "napkin brows".

Anyway... I have a REAL aversion to kiosk workers at the mall. (started a thread once)

I was walking toward Sears, when this woman stopped me, telling me I NEEDED to have my eyebrows threaded.

Even after I politely declined, she followed me.

I snapped... "NEED?! So you're telling me there's something wrong with the way I look?! Nice! That's the way to get business! Tell people they look like they need their eyebrows done!"

She wouldn't back down! She and I argued about it for a few minutes, before I stomped away furious.

Pushy heifer...

threaded eyebrows can end up lookin just as crazy as over tweezed ones.

I've gotten my eyebrows threaded before and it wasn't that bad. I actually liked how she shaped my eyebrows in way so that I didn't even need to use my brow pencil when I put on makeup. It lasted a little over a month before I needed my eyebrows done again. I actually got them done at a kiosk and it was only $10 but I think next time I'll try an actual salon that does it, as oppose to a kiosk. It felt weird layed all back in that chair in the middle of the mall while people were passing by staring.

please encourage your son to be a member of the male population and NOT continue to get his eyebrows threaded. Tweeze some hairs to stop the unibrow, tweeze a little to keep it clean...that's all cool.

But getting your eyebrows threaded or waxed or shaped is just not something men need to do.

This guy in the mall kinda did that to me-he walked over and said "Come here" all stern like I was a child and needed to comply I looked at him and said "I don't think so and kept walking." These folks really have nerve sometimes-but I think she woulda accidently fell down if it was me

No you didn't My son is so handsome you'd look and say damn that's a handsome dude and he has let me tweeze his brows, but I guess he likes the threading-doesn't make him any less manly

I'm sure he is.
What's not gonna happen? He's not getting his eyebrows threaded or he won't look crazy if he overthreads?

shit, I got hairy ass eyebrows.

I didn't mean to take aim at your son, nursev. I'm just a big fan of men going back to acting like men and not shaving their chests, shaping their eyebrows or wearing concealer.

to answer the original post though, my beautiful wife gets her eyebrows threaded and it looks really nice!

I like it. Works fine for me and looks very clean without the pain of waxing or the inevitable new growth of getting razored at the Korean nail salon.

It's cool Jersey and I don't think he would do all that and any man who does needs his ass whooped

Nice

I've had it done twice (awhile back) and liked the result both times. If they came at me now with some thread I'd have to hurt 'em.
