I couldn't agree more. It is all down to experience and the technique used.
It's a real shame that so many people on here have had bad experiences. Threading really is a wonderful method of hair removal.

As previously mentioned, it should be no more painful than tweezing.
Trying to shape the inner corner can be a littly tricky, but as with everything else, practice makes perfect.

Hi there lol...I have done threading on my client, some of my client like it and some dont, So evryone has different ways. For me I have try it and I recommended it better than waxing but its take alot of time to practice to get a good grip on those hairs, threading also good for eyebrow shaper...You should try practice on your legs

I have it done at Marco's salon too, yes it does hurt (for me) more than any other method of removal, but its very quick and i find the result is better for me seems to last longer, i always insist that no hair is to be taken from the top of the brow (as you can lose your natural shape) xxx:hug:

Ok well, I have been threading my entire face for years. I am a hairy bugger! I have trained in both systems (waxing and threading) and have had both done.
I have to say (with me) waxing my facial area was/is a disaster. As metioned before waxing "tears" the hair from the follicle an pulls the skin which can distort the follicle and led to a multitude of unsightly ingrowing hairs. Threading pulls the hair form the follicle and is less likely (although it can happen) to distort the follicle. I have very few ingrowing hairs now.
It does take longer and is a bit more painful but I much perfer it. I feel I get a sharper look when having my eyebrows threaded. Although, there are some talented beauty therapists that can acheive the exact same sharpness.
I have also read a couple of you guys say that went to have your brow threaded and it was a disaster- ruined your shapes etc. Just like to say matey's that it it not the thread (technically) that ruined your shape or damaged the skin but the technique and inexperince of the therapist. She really should have asked you what you wanted to achieve through the treatment and not assumed. XXXXXX

My friend (who is asian) did a day course in threading and she loved it, she says it's very popular in the asian community, she has done loads of her family and friends (no paying clients mind:|) she quickly showed me how to do it, you sortof twist the thread in a certaoin way then kinda roll it and it grabs the hairs and pulls them out, it cost £99 for a day course I think it was at a salon called salmas or something in Bradford, my other friend is doing the course next week too.

Hi I did a threading course in December not knowing what to expect but I think it definately has its place. I did not find it painful but then I have been used to waxing my eyebrows for years! I think it is a really good alternative for those with very fragile skin especially for facial hair that grows on the cheeks and neck and for those with an allergy to wax etc. I think it is an easy technique to pick up but takes a long time to perfect!
If people are experiencing cuts and nicks then the thread is being held to close or not flat to the skin.
My tutor told us that threading should cost approx a third more than waxing as it is a specialist and scarce service. However I offer a discounted rate whilst I am improving but my prices will be lower than she suggested - but I do not believe that it should be too cheap as it is a skill.

I've trained and offer threading, it's by far my most popular treatment. I charge £10 for threading, £6 for waxing, but I hardly do any eyebrow waxing. Why would you want to put hot wax on your face when you have this beautiful method of shaping with a thread? The eyebrows are so nicely defined with it!
At Excel show on Sun there were about 3 places doing the threading and offering training, it varied from £99 for a day course to £350 for 2 days. I have their details -let me know if you want.

Hi all
I'm brand new to this amazing forum, and have been lurking for a week or so while I find my way around.
I have been having my eyebrows threaded in the Victoria branch of House of Fraser at a cost of £14 a go (eek!). I do find it painful, but effective. The most surprising thing I experienced was the fact that the girlie actually cuts some of the hair. I assume to produce a more defined look?
I've also had waxing and plucking over the years with varying results. I think the method used is actually secondary to the therapist's skill and technique. Several therapists have told me that they can't get a good result because I have really strong hair (like I have a choice over that!)

Hi,I recently had my brows shaped by threading,great results and a more defined arch.I too was going to train in this,but I think that its way too fiddly for me.I have to admit the sensation was like a rusty razor blade being dragged over my skin,bearable though!I would have it done again,I just need to find a reputable therapist in Oxford.

I know I shouldn't say this but oh what the hell,just looked on Marco Benito's website and it put me off staright away, it felt sooo creepy the tone of a funeral directors I may add(Ive had a bottle ol red so may regret this comment in the morning)

personally, the sight of threading therapists with thread in their mouth, makes me feel a bit queasy! ...saliva, in contact with a porous piece of thread, thats touching your open hair follicles?! no ta.
"Hang on Mrs Jones, while i just get a good grip on your wax strip with my teeth...!" lol.
I know there is a hands only method, which is fair enough.
but as has been already said, if the person doing the treatment doesnt have the skill required, then you wont get a good job no matte what method you use!!
