Never ever do this!

I am blessed/cursed with very obvious eyebrows, which seem to be utterly resistant to the aging process

Even with a pretty strong magnifying mirror (which, by the way just seems to highlight all the facial hairs) plucking is still rather hit and miss, so I do get them waxed, plus any other bits (chin & lip etc) that need doing.

However, I do indulge in the odd plucking session for the bristles once I can feel them, and ashamed to admit putting a sort of facial hair shaver over my face when I feel it's all too much.

I also tried threading of face once only. The girl told me that it wouldn't be so painful next time, but I didn't take the chance.

This thread has been quite enlightening in so many ways! A thread about threads. I have never had anything done to my eyebrows and have wondered what 'threading' actually meant. I had some idea that it involved a sort of braiding or dread locking eyebrows (!!!!) so the images I had of having it done all over your whole face were quite bizarre.

I do love an occasional facial and massage, especially as a gift, but some of the treatments described sound more like a torture chamber of horrors rather than beauty treatments. Thank you for the explanations. ?

It appears that many 'older' ladies suffer from excessive facial hair. Is it hormone related? Does HRT play a part? There must be some reason as to why many of you have to resort to top lip, chin, sides of face waxing.
Personally, I think that eyebrow tattooing looks obvious. The wand with the tiny comb looks as if it gives more realistic results.
Thank goodness I don't need any of that.

My skin around my eyebrows seems to be paper thin. I had my eyebrows waxed, the lady ripped a piece of skin off! My that was painful.
A few years ago, several years after the waxing incident, I had them threaded, exactly the same thing happened!
I'm not a hirsute lady, I will just pluck the odd stray one in future!!
I had never considered having my menopausal facial down threaded, and I will make a point of never bothering now!!

My 15 year old granddaughter threads my lip and chin using ordinary cotton! She just watched a beautician do it and worked out how to do it. Saves me a few pounds and I know she’s honest about when I need it.

I mentioned to mt beauty lady that I was thinking of tattoo on my brows but she said she had it done and it hurt like hell and never again. So back to waxing and colour

....I actually like having eyebrows etc threaded..I find it relaxing

My eyebrows have bare patches ! I simply hate trying to fill them in to give a natural look and would love to go in for tattooing but am sh-t scared of looking like in permanent shock . Any advice pls.

I'm with PECS on this one. My brows are now white/blonde. I just ignore them and keep my fringe long. A long fringe is low maintenance and frames the eyes better than brows. I do wonder where you all find the time, money and fortitude to put yourselves through these treatments regularly. #Ouch
