To wonder when eyebrow threading kiosks will reopen

Totally unimportant in the grand scheme of things, but I've had my eyebrows threaded for years by a fab lady in one of the shopping centre kiosks and since lockdown I'm now resembling Frida Kahlo. I wouldn't dare touch them myself as I'm rubbish at anything beauty related! I think I'm dreaming if I think they will be allowed to reopen anytime soon as I obviously can't see how they can safely social distance?

Beauty places and hairdressers will be the last places to open I imagine.

I only have mine threaded twice a year or so and then follow the shape in between with tweezers to keep them tidy. So basically my advice would be to have a bash sooner rather than later so you’ve still got something to follow.

One tip I found really useful is to use a concealer to draw on the shape you want and only tweeze the hairs not covered in concealer. It’s not fool proof but it really helps.

Whenever they do open I imagine they will no longer be allowed to use their teeth

Cornettoninja I so wish I had done that earlier on, but they've grown out now and have totally lost their shape :(

I’m desperately need my eyebrows doing...they have gone pass the point of no return so me doing them is out of the question at the moment! I’m trying to blend them with concealer Grin

Think beauty places will be one of the last to openSad

@Alicemovedtothecity mine too! I'm quite dark and hairy so I think it makes a big difference to my face when they are overgrown 😂
