I am going to get my eyebrows threaded for the first time this week. Does anyone else get theirs threaded? Anything I should know before going in?
-
It hurts...more than you would expect. And it's not over quickly like waxing. I like having mine done. It makes them look great, but it does sting.
-
Yes. It will hurt/sting for a bit after each pass, and then it goes away just like waxing.
-
I love threading. It stings but it doesn't linger.
-
How long do you go between threadings?
-
@Boopers: You can usually go 4-8 weeks. But it also depends on how light/dark your eyebrows are.
-
Yeah, I was shocked how much it hurt the first time I went - no one warned me! But it can't hurt THAT bad because I keep going back
I still tear up but it's worth it compared to waxing. I like the results better.
-
I get my brows threaded only, never waxed. I've been doing it for about 6 years and got pretty good at maintaining it myself between appts, so I can go a 4-6 months. It does sting a little bit (the skin around your eyes are pretty sensitive) but I don't think it's bad at all. And the results are amazing! It's so much more precise than waxing.
-
It stings and takes longer. My sister always puts on antibiotic ointment afterwards to help with redness and irritation.
-
It HURTS !!!
-
It hurts but I love the results of threading. Totally worth the pain
-
It definitely stings, my eyes watered the first time I got it done because I had no idea what to expect. I love getting them threaded, it's the only way ill have my eyebrows done
-
I've learned that usually those that are better at it don't hurt you as much. I really like how my eyebrows look after, but for me the results only last 3 weeks at best.
-
It's the only way I get my eyebrows done! It stings, but it's so much more accurate and the shape is better.
-
i love getting threaded! i find it hurts more or less depending on who does it. the last time i got it done it hardly hurt at all, but i've had experiences where my eyes would water
i like it a lot more than waxing because of the preciseness (i can ask them to go over a certain spot again if i didn't like it), and also because it doesn't hurt my skin, whereas waxing has given me red, ouchy, even bruised/scabby skin in the past.
-
Yay for threading! One thing to know is you will probably be asked to help pull your eyelid taut while the therapist works - it feels a bit awkward. It also means you might be be comfortable not wearing contacts (mine feel weird when I'm pushing on my eye). It's so quick though; mine literally take about 2 mins!
-
I get mine threaded, and love it!! I prefer it over waxing. It's much more accurate.
-
It hurts!! Not enough to make me not want to go again though!
-
Ok I went today and it HURT! I was not expecting the whole process at all. She did take a lot off to shape them (my brows were rough!) but now they look awesome!! She did miss a few light hairs but I plan on going back. Woohoo!
-
I get my eyebrows threaded once a month. I don't know if I got used to it or my threader is particularly good, but it doesn't hurt so much.
I love the results.
I still tear up but it's worth it compared to waxing. I like the results better.
