Eyebrow threading - Page 2

Zingara · 01-01-07, 07:19 PM

I know this has be discussed on here before, but sorry, I simply don't agree with putting hot or warm wax on the delicate skin near my eyes anymore (used to have them waxed when I was younger). Some folks agree, some don't but I've heard some good arguments against and made my choice.

I therefore have been having my eyebrows threaded for about a year, and simply love it. The regrowth is slower, finer and with wax, my skin always looked slightly 'angry' for the rest of the day....with threading, it looks and feels completely normal straight after.

The onlt problem is I wish more people did it....or even trained in it. I'd go and train myself if I could find somewhere local doing a certified course, but currently have to travel miles to either get threading done or learn it!

The more I hear about threading the more curious I am about giving it a go and having mine done. I to suffer from red strips across my eyes for the rest of the day.

A few questions though - why is the re-growth slower and finer? Surely the hair grows back the same as it does when they have been waxed - no?

I havent seen anyboy in my local area that does this so it may be worth me finding some certified training on this and making the most of it.

Those that have trained in this - how long does it take to train and perfect the technique with confidence.

Eyebrow wax is the most popular treatment by far that i do and I always wish that I could avoid the redness that some clients get.

I don't know the answer to this - I can only presume that somehow the thread grips some hairs that the wax may miss, if they are too fine or short...giving the impression of less re-growth. And ultimately I guess it could come down to the skill of the technician too.

We offer this at work, and strangely enough people still tend to go for waxing - I guess better the devil you know?

Me personally, I've had it done, and pain wise is no different from waxing, but does last lots longer, and my skin is not so red.

Hello you, and HNY - thanks for the message earlier.

Sorry to answer this question, I have had my eyebrows done and it kills!!
A couple of my clients tried it and have come back to me for sugaring saying the same thing.

I guess this thread just goes to show that different people react differently to services and the pain they cause! It hurts some more than waxing and some less....

threading sounds good to me, as I am really hate waxing...is there anyone in Newcastle area doing it??? I really want to have a go...

huberella · 03-01-07, 12:29 AM

I have had many clients that had threading done that say they will never do it again. However, no matter the removal system (waxing, threading, sugaring), it all comes down to technique.

As for the hair growing slower when you have threading done.. this is impossible. It doesn't matter if you tweeze, wax, sugar or thread, they are all doing the exact same thing... removing the hair with the root.

I often suggest threading as an option to my clients that can't be waxed, for whatever reason... usually those on accutane. They are happy to have an alternative.

Just to ask again, is there anyone in Newcastle area doing threading? thanks xx

just bumping this thread up as I'm thinking of doing a course in this next month near Leeds.

I would like to know, is it easy to do on yourself? I want to train to do this for clients but also I am facially hairy, side-moustache, mini beard, etc and keep it under control with tweezing and trimming. Would be great to be able to trim the sides of my moustache.

Does it work on the same principles as waxing, ie grows back thinner/finer and eventually have bald spots.

Hi, my sister did this course about 2 years ago and I remember it is just one day training, and no it can’t be done by yourself.

hippy-chick · 18-10-07, 11:01 PM

thanks.
I sound really attractive don't I! LOL

I offer threading in Bristol, it is by far my most popular treatment.some take a couple of paracetamols beforehand to ease the pain, but mostly they're fine.
Thing is it's so natural and clean, a new piece of string is used for each client.

I cant believe they tell people this!!! alot of my clients say the same thing!!!

Dont ask me how, but a few months ago i tried it, and my brows actually grew back QUICKER!! lol. My eyebrows really dont grow much at al, but they grew faster then ever! who knows why!!!

I agree it is down to the technique / skill. I can get the 'threaded' look from waxing and tweezing, and it will last as long as physically possible because i make sure i take out all the tiny hairs that are just out of the skin surface!
