I get my eyebrows threaded once in every 2 weeks. Like tweezing, it stings at first and then becomes numb. I prefer threading because my eyebrows are shaped more evenly with threading than waxing.
I get mine done every few weeks. I love it! Lasts much longer than plucking and I will NOT put hot wax near my eyes. A little painful, yes, but it's only for a few moments
I do my own threading as my eyebrows are pretty easy to shape and maintain, it also works well if you want to do your upper lip etc too. Takes a bit of practice but it's really not difficult in my opinion :-) And all you need is a piece of thread!
Love it. Doesn't hurt any more or less than tweezing or waxing. I've found that my skin reacts better to the threading than to the waxing. I'm always red for quite awhile after waxing.
You've actually reminded me that I HAVE to get this done. We have a wedding Saturday.
I had it done about 3 weeks ago. I was always afraid to do it, but one day mustered up the courage. I didn't find it very painful, equivalent to waxing, and the redness only lasted about 30 minutes as opposed to hours with waxing. The hair did start growing back after a few weeks, however I think if I kept going back it would probably be minimal.
I prefer doing it myself. I tweeze, yes, but also use a mini-razor (found in most general stores, like walmart), which is smaller than the top of a pen cap, to clean up strays. The razor makes all the difference, and it lasts longer.
I get mine threaded, when I can find a place that does it! I think it lasts a lot longer, and looks better, than waxing. It's really not any more painful than waxing, either.
