I have to share this with someone because it was such an enjoyable experience! I am also curious to see if anyone else on here has experienced this. So yesterday for my birthday I decided to try out eyebrow threading, because I wanted to feel purrrtty and do something for myself. I've also been wanting to try it out for a while after hearing people talk about it.
About threading in case you're curious and it explains it better than I would: taken from http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-eyebrow-threading.htm
"Eyebrow threading involves twisting a piece of thread, usually cotton, into a double strand. This double stranded thread is used to pick up a line of hair and then remove it, creating a very clean, precise hairline. Eyebrow threading is the technique preferred by Indian movie stars, who are often distinguished by their crisp brow lines.
Eyebrow threading can be used to eliminate a unibrow, raise the arch of the eyebrow, or add shape and definition to the brow. Because it removes hair by the follicle, it is a reasonably long lasting hair removal technique as well. Repeat visits after three to four weeks are standard. The technique is also not terribly expensive because it is easy to do quickly and does not require costly chemical ingredients. For women who would like to pursue a more natural beauty regimen, eyebrow threading is a good choice, since it does not use harmful products."
I went in expecting that it would hurt really bad but I was amazed at how painless it really was.
I've always been afraid to get my eyebrows waxed because I've heard stories about how it can tear your skin or leave scabs from when the hot wax burns you. Knowing me, I probably would've not had an enjoyable time if I ever tried waxing.
This lady took about I'd say 3 minutes max to finish threading my eyebrows and then I think she put some aloe on my skin after she was finished. When she was completely done she sprayed rosewater on my face. It was very refreshing and smelled REALLY good. She was telling me about how everything she uses is 100% organic from India and Pakistan. She does 100% organic facials so I might have to go try that sometime when I finally find a job around here and make some money.
