- Bearable pain. Depending on /your tolerance/the time of the month threading feels like tweezing multiple hairs at at once.Try not to flinch during it,to avoid bald patches
- One at a time, you’ll be asked to pull your eyelids in opposing directions, so the skin is taught and easy for the therapist to work on.if you need help with how to hold the hand position ask and your therapist will explain!
- For the above reason don’t wear lots of eye makeup or you’ll probably smudge it everywhere
- On rare occassions uncontrollable side effects include random sneezing and eye watering – they might literally stream (not from the pain, but the sensitivity)
- Be prepared for the therapist to forgo asking what shape you want and to just get to work on instinct. So if you’re growing out your arches, for example, be sure to specify and they should advise you on the best strategy
- They might question whether you want your brows “trimmed or not” after the threading; it’s optional but it makes unruly hairs look much neater. If you have especially fine hair or sparse brows you might want to decline
- When the shaping is done, they’ll show you the results in a handheld mirror and it’s easy to automatically say “great!” – but look closely and ask for tweaks if you’re not 100% happy
- You will temporarily experience rosy skin (some suffer worse than others), so you might not want to go straight out on a date afterwards, but it’ll last an hour, max
- Depending on where you have your brows threaded, you may get a little Indian-style head massage of joy afterwards making any pain you felt previously melt away
- While the therapist may fill-in your brows with product if you wish, you’ll be told not to apply concealer/foundation afterwards and don’t ignore the advice; makeup could clog the pores left open by the hair removal and cause spots
- You’ll also save time on tweezing. There’s no need to pluck between appointments, but when you feel the need to (after 3-4 weeks), save them up for a week and re-book.
