A few weeks ago my eyebrows were dangerously approaching unibrow status and something needed to be done. My coworker Anjum gets her eyebrows threaded and we were talking about it. Also, I remember my cousin Kelly saying she’s done it before. I never had, but found a place nearby work called Thread Away that had good ratings online, so I decided to give it a try.
I went to Thread Away 11 or so to avoid a lunch rush and there was no one there. There were two Indian woman working on the salon and the older one was going to perform my service. She was really nice and patient with me when I told her it was my first time. She did a really good job, but I’m not going to lie, it did hurt a lot. The look, though, is very clean and polished. It’s been weeks and my eyebrows have kept their shape. Anjum tells me it’s less painful the more you get threading done. Also, my skin has always been sensitive to wax and although threading is supposed to be better for your skin, my face was still quite pink/red after the procedure. So, note for next time, maybe go after work, not at lunch!
If you don’t know what eyebrow threading is, I’ve embedded a video below that shows how it’s done.
