I remember being in high school talking to a friend about beauty/make up stuff and she brought up that she got her eyebrows waxed on a regular basis. I was never a huge make up or hair maintenance girl, but I was intrigued, so she took me to a salon and I got it done.
Fast forward 15 years later. I've had ups and downs with my eyebrows. Good waxing jobs, home waxing jobs, tweezing, and just giving up sometimes!
This summer I discovered eyebrow threading and I love it. Threading is where the the eyebrows are shaped with two cotton threads that pull the hairs out in short lines. It's quick, easy, and doesn't irritate my skin. I get it done at a kiosk in the middle of our mall.
Here's a little before (documented the day before) and after (documented the day after) of a recent threading:
So why do I like threading as opposed to other methods? Here are my five reasons:
1. It is less time consuming than tweezing. - Tweezing each single hair just takes too much time. I don't have the patience for it either. Sure, I'll do a touch up every now and then, but shaping them all from scratch doesn't work for me.
2. It is more gentle on my skin than waxing. - Waxing adds all the heat and rips on my skin. It always leaves my eyebrows irritated and they usually end up breaking out, too. Threading simply pulls the hairs out, so my skin is left alone.
3. It is very precise and shapes my brows well. - Threading is so precise! They can get things down to the single hair and even get the little tiny hairs that you might not catch tweezing.
4. I don't have to make an appointment. - I go to a threading place that's in the middle of the mall. I have never had to wait! And if I ever did, I could just shop!
5. Sometimes I can find a deal. - One of the first places I go when I'm looking for a massage or beauty service is Groupon. There are so many Health, Beauty, and Wellness Groupons available, and my threading place currently has a promotion to purchase.
So, have I convinced you to get your eyebrows threaded yet? Have you ever used Groupon for services such as this? Which Health, Beauty, and Wellness Groupon are you going to purchase next?
