the Price of Eyebrow Threading

I had my eyebrows threaded at a local salon. Eyebrow and facial hair threading is a great alternative to waxing or shaving or chemical hair removal. It is relatively painless, leaves no redness, and is very quick if you have a skilled technician. Basically, the technician takes two threads, intertwines them between four of the fingers of either hand (I was not able to see exactly how) so that the two threads meet in the middle. I think it was the thumb and one other finger, to be more specific. Then (and I?m not sure exactly how this is done, since I can?t look at my own face while it?s being done) the technician spins, rotates, or slides the threads together while moving them along your face, and picks up all the hairs. I?m not sure how it works, but it works wonderfully. She did put some lotion on afterward, but it was just plain lotion, no special redness removers or sensitive skin lotions.

This procedure is an absolutely wonderful experience (if any hair removal experience can be called wonderful). I was very impressed by the speed with which the procedure was accomplished and the lack of severe pain that usually accompanies any type of hair removal. Also, there are no numbing chemicals or special lotions that smell funny for the next hour (I mean, it is on your face, so you?re really going to smell it). Also, there was not need to use tweezers to get those hard to reach, leftover, or very fine hairs. The threading is accurate enough to get even the smallest, lightest hairs. I experienced no redness or discomfort except for a very little bit during the procedure. I would certainly recommend this technique over waxing or shaving or chemicals.

The key to getting this done correctly is finding a well trained technician. Since it is not a common procedure in the US, most skilled technicians are going to be from foreign countries (at least I?ve found) and they are usually trained in more than one hair removal technique.
