Totally agree with this logic.

Threading is fasionable at the moment, however it is an ancient technique used by asians for centuries, not a new one, it was originally practiced due to tweezers or wax not being so available to people as cotton is. The same accuracy can be achieved with tweezing. Someone who does not have the eye for shaping brows with tweezer is not going to become an expert by training in threading.

Having said all that a good threader is extremally skillful. It costs very little to perform as well so profits can be good with a good reputation.

It does however come with the same problems that practiioners claim you would only get from waxing and tweezing: Threading

i dont get how theyget an accurate perfect shape when the client has to stretch the skin ad effectively 'warp' the shape of the brow whilst its being worked on.

for instance, i apply the wax to the eyebrow without warping the skin, i then hold the skin taught from the outer corner and pull off the strip.

omg, look at this, im suprised she didnt rip his head off the way she pulled the strip upwards!! lol.

hi, I've had my eyebrows waxed, threaded , and done by tweezers. I find the best method is first having them threaded then by tweezers. threading is definitely uncomfortable but I don;t find it painful, depends on your pain threshold i guess.
With threading I feel results last longer, and the shape is definitely more defined, also the really short hairs come out unlike other methods. Be sure to find a good therapist with experience in threading though

I get my brows threaded all the time and i love it!!! it gives me such a better arch to what waxing ever did and i dont think it is any more painful than waxing, waxing is just over with quicker. it works fab for me cos i find i dont need to get it done as often xx
