Never ever do this!

I frequently have my eyebrows threaded but I nearly leaped out of the chair one day when the lady started to thread the very fine hairs near the side of my face. I did not realise my eyebrows had moved.

Hardly got any eyebrows to speak of and I'm certainly not going to pencil any on or I'd look like George Roby. I'll remain " bald ".

lost mine in my 40s after using Beconase nose spray!

Yes, it's 5 minutes of eyewatering hell just to get your brows done. But it lasts a good while and is cheap too.
I wouldn't have it done anywhere else on my face though!

Last time I had my eyebrows done, the girl offered to do my upper lip as well. Being a natural blonde, I've never felt I had a "moustache". Glad to say, I declined.

Just had my eyebrows and chin done......waxed not threaded! Worth the pain to get rid of those hairs that seem to appear overnight!

I made the mistake if having my face threaded. It was so painful I vowed never again and, the pain that I went through, was worthless as the hairs started popping through again within a week. I’ll stick to removing facial hair with cream.

I have never touched my eyebrows in the 77 years on this earth and they look fine to me!!!!

The painful consequences of "upselling".

The advert "should've gone to Specsavers " has just popped into my head. Can't think why?

Lol gillybob! Mabon1 I am sure you look fine, don't listen to gillybob :D

I've lost practically all of mine over the years because of thyroid problems. I've had them tattooed on and it makes a HUGE difference. My daughter has hers threaded, and comes out with pink eyebrows and tears in her eyes lol

I first had mine done in Egypt, it is the usual way there, I must say I was surprised tho when I was asked if I wanted the bikini line done as well. I refused I hasten to add.

Had mine tattooed a couple of weeks ago. I am so delighted with result although they gave now faded which is what happens. In the next few days they come through again as ink comes through the new skin.

Pecs goodness I've never heard of that. interesting.
I pluck mine and use electric razor. reading this I think I'll continue. My (very hairy) husband tried having his back waxed. He came out in red blotches and had to go to the doctor and get an antibiotic. lol. (not funny at the time!)

I had mine threaded for some years, used to emerge with tears and mascara down my cheeks. Now have brows and top lip waxed, much less painful, though I’ve found it does depend on the skill of the practitioner. I would never, ever, go back to threading again.

Pecs that's very interesting. I lost my sense of smell after using a nasal spray. I also lost my eyebrows but did not associate that with the spray. I thought that was due to my age

The explanation of 'threading' says its ' gentler on the skin'- but from what ive read here,seemingly not! Not for me im afraid.tweezers anyday.

Thank you EllenVannin for my first out-loud laugh of the day.

Re. threading, I often see this procedure carried out whilst waiting for a hair appointment. Young women rush in for a five-minute session often on their way to a meeting etc. The last time I was there a middle-aged man had it done.

Pffft. Why would you PAY someone to cause you such discomfort or pain? Not on your nelly!

Mine are irregular and uneven but I pluck the odd rogue hair myself at no cost. I then apply waterproof mascara lightly across both brows to even them up and define them a bit. Have done this for years and it looks fine, doesn't smudge and costs me nowt (apart from the waterproof mascara which I have anyway)

I don't even know what 'threading' is apart from a new and painful way of making you part with your money.

I have both lip and brows done.
When I can get there.
I've never found it painful.
I quite relish feeling the hair being ripped from its roots.

The barber's that my husband uses does the full service in with the haircut, ear singeing, eyebrows trimmed.
They also offer eyebrow threading for men only.

I get all my facial hair threaded and find it less painful than waxing. I'm a natural blonde, but since the menopause, thick black hairs have started appearing! I'm lucky in that my local beauty salon owner is very good at threading and I honestly don't find it that bad at all.

I tried eyebrow threading last year and it was agony. I don't have much in the way of brows; old photos show they were a lovely shape but like most mad girls I plucked them away to almost nothing. A few years back, fed up with pencilling, I went to a local shop and had the remnants dyed. It was amazing how colouring even the smallest, finest hairs made my brows look so much better, and the beautician waxed around the eyebrows - I was thrilled. She suggested threading on one occasion but it was so painful that I returned on the next visit to a little gently waxing. They are still not as thick as I would like but given my youthful, self inflicted ruination, I am grateful that I have some kind of markers to indicate where eyelids end and forehead starts!
