Has anyone one tried threading on facial hair on the cheeks and chin?

As I've said on your other thread, I've had my top lip threaded.

Wouldn't it take rather a long time to do such a large area, though? (Not your top lip, Lona! wink) and therefore be expensive?

It can't be worse than electrolysis can it?

It looks really difficult to me. Good job I'm not a beautician [or barber].

Ana It's really quick, about a minute and my lip was done, so it wouldn't take long to do at all.

Have a look on Youtube.

I've had threading on eye brows and upper liip. It's a little sore, but cheap and effective.

Does it hurt? I have to wait until I am desperate to wax, but I take about 3 layers of skin off and I am red and sore for days.

Yes a bit, glass, but it's over in a minute. Makes my eyes water when she does my eyebrows. I think waxing is worse.
