Eyebrow threading as opposed to waxing...

I thread because I blister from the wax. It gets less painful. Give it another try.

This. And I don't get hives from the wax, but I once got burned from too-hot wax and OMG. 

I prefer threading. I started because I was using retin-a but have continued because I think it is more precise. The pain is the same for me, although with both, time of the month affects how much it hurts. I think they say not to do either when you are ovulating because of the pain differences but I could be wrong about the timing.

The longer your hair the more threading hurts. If you get it done regularly - or at least every few months - it won't hurt as much because the hair won't be as long.

I find threading doesn't last as long but I like that it doesn't pull my skin.

A friend tried it and she said it really hurt. She wouldn't do it again.

I get a rash from wax, no matter where I get it done. One time the person made me bleed.

Threading is also more precise. It hurts, but eyebrows look fabulous. I hate to stereotype, but the best threaders ARE indeed Indian or Pakistani.

My threader--OMG. She's the bomb. My skin does not get irritated at all. The woman is a miracle worker.

This is what I think. However, with that said, I've had my brows threaded for a number of years now, so I no longer remember what waxing feels like. It may not be the pain-free experience that I remember it to be. I just think back fondly on it, LOL.

I am a Retin A user, so no more wax for me. I have noticed, however-- and maybe it's an age thing, but my brows no longer grow in very quickly at all. I haven't touched my brows in a few months and they look decent. Not great, but decent. 

I've been getting mine threaded for about 5 or so years.... I agree, it hurts lol! Not the whole thing, just certain areas are more tender. I also get my lip done, and that hurts as well lol! But agree with some of the previous posters, it's much more precise, and in my opinion, looks better. I had my makeup done last year and the lady told me my brows were "perfect" haha! I can only remember one or two times where I got a little tiny scab... so I'd say that unfortunately, that's in the skill (or lack thereof) of the threader. I really rarely get pink or red at all. Could you try someone else?

I have threaded a couple times and hated it both times. I'll stick with waxing.

Yes, that's what I do. There is basically one person I think that works where I go - maybe 2, but I pretty much only have the same lady every time. She finishes in about 3 minutes max. She is awesome - even if she does laugh at me when I tell her I think she's killing me.   But I would be red for an hour plus with waxing, and I don't turn red at all with threading, so I feel like it must be less irritating to my skin overall?
