Has anyone tried threading for hair removal?

My eyebrows can look quite ratty, and until I started wearing glasses, I used to pluck the stray eyebrow hairs myself. However, now my eyesight has deteriorated and I can’t see to do the plucking without my glasses on. And of course when I’ve got my glasses on, it’s impossible to pluck. Catch 22. Last time I had my hair done, I had my eyebrows waxed, and while it did a great job of tidying my eyebrows, it really irritated the skin (and hurt like hell), and I had red blotches for a couple of days after the treatment. The beautician asked if I wanted to try “Threading”, but as I didn’t know much about it, I declined. Now my eyebrows need tidying again, and I wanted to know if any Mums have tried threading, what reactions (if any) you had from it, did it last like waxing, what’s a fair charge for it, and what you thought of it overall? Thanks in advance for your advice.

Yeh they do last a while!! The ladies i see recommend to come in once a month.
I wouldn’t say it’s as painful as waxing- but it’s a weird feeling! Probably give you a shock
The first time but then you will get used to it

I’ve decided to “take the bull by the horns” and try threading. Booked in for next week. Hope it doesn’t hurt, and that the results last for a few weeks.

I’m a real wuss when it comes to pain, so am wondering how much it hurts to have threading done? Do the results last as long as waxing or plucking?

THREADING IS AMAZING!!! i have notoriously horrible eyebrows to shape- they grow in all kinds of directions. threading seriously is magic- it makes them perfect. I will never go back to plucking or waxing.
