Threading vs. Waxing

[dcole710]

I prefer threading. It's a little more uncomfortable than waxing but the results are excellent and seem to last longer. I was used to paying less than $8 in NY but where I am now(Michigan) I can'f find anyone who does for less than $12 and thats twice as much as waxing.

wow, i kinda sound cheap...

i'd feel the same way! in my town, it's $20 and even though it's a block away, i'd rather do it in NYC even though i gotta pay the train lol

Never heard of threading. Never had my eyebrows done and I plan on keeping it that way.

I'm currently on the verge of growing my eyebrows out then getting them threaded.

I've never had my eyebrows threaded either, but from what I heard the result is usually much better than waxing/plucking. I'm pretty tolerant to pain, so I wouldn't mind.

I mean plucking and waxing never bothered me.

After all we all heard of the saying, "Pain is beauty."

One of my friends raved about threading, so I finally got up the courage to do it. I was really glad I did. It made my eyes water (I think that's because of all the nerve endings being aggravated), but the pain was equivalent to tweezing for me. It was really nice because she was able to give my eyebrows a nice shape, which I've been able to keep up with regular tweezing. I thought waxing was way more painful -- plus it leaves you red for the rest of the day. Threading doesn't do that, make you bleed, or burn you. Threading all the way!

I love threading it is quite painful but it gives a cleaner look than waxing and it last longer.

I go for threading of my eyebrows and my upper lip every 2-3 weeks,I love how clean and well groomed my eyebrows look after!!

 

[LipglossQueen]

Wow you're good I'm too chicken to get my upper lip threaded!

 

[fierce_diva]

Threading all the way!! I used to spend $14 for my eyebrows......but then i found out that the indian beauty salons charge way less $3.00 the key is if you find one you like keep her....took me a few ladies that butchered my eyebrows till i found my current threader

I LOVE THREADING! lol i think i started a thread about it a couple weeks ago. It's so much better and leaves your eyebrown lookin' niiiiiice! I get compliments on my eyebrows everytime!

For brows, def. threading! And it's super cheap!

i used to get threading but it was breaking me out reallllly bad so i went to waxing. then i realized that waxing was giving me darker acne marks. so now i use an epilady. thats what my fam calls it. its the little rotating think with the million tweezer heads. its quicker and costs less

 

[Nisherz187]

Threading by far.

 

[FabSephoraJunki]

[Bikz]

I prefer waxing...Some people doesn't have skills for threading,no matter how professional he/she is...

 

[greatnana]

I have never had it

 

[raspberry]

Can you only only do it with facial hair?

 

[princess_20]

I do my own brows by plucking I have never done threading or waxing.

Anywhere that hair grows can be threaded. One contestant on ANTM 7 had her hairline threaded back because it was so low it almost sat on top of her eyebrows.

It's very precise and quick, but since it takes out a very small area at a time, it may not be the hair removal method of choice for some people.

Threading is also called "khite" in some areas.

I've never waxed my eyebrows but I have threaded them a few times before. It's really cheap here. You can thread your whole face as well but it's not recommended for acne prone skin. Threading hurts though. My eyes always tear up when I do them
