Just had my top lip threaded for first time....

[SkaTastic]

Oh my God why did I agree to it. Holy fucking mother of bastards it was awful. Considered getting her to stop and just having a half 'stache. AIBU to think I would rather be hairy?

YANBU.
Once and never again - the stupid thing was, I didn't really need it done anyway, but there was a 'deal'.

owwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwgerrofyoub*tch!

You get used to it 😃

I’ve been doing it for years plus the sides of my face and neck. Not painful at all. Marginal discomfort when they get very close to the lip is the worst of it.

Take a paracetamol before you go in next time.

I had my eyebrows done once. Was worse than being tattooed.

It gets better, a bit like your first armpit wax or tattoo. Hurts like a bastard but doesn't stop us from going back

Ive had my eye brows threading for years.
My lip I've had done once and never again.
The pain was bloody horrendous.

Love having my eyebrows threaded however I always get midly offended when asked if I want my upper lip done

I don’t think the pain is that bad. The lovely spotty rash it leaves behind is pretty grim though.

YANBU threading for eyebrows, wax for tache and chin hairs - far less agonising!

Wow, you are braver than I! Get my brows threaded regularly but could not face getting my upper lip . Thinking about laser for years..seriously must bite the bullet. Use cream and it's so smelly.

come back and complain when you have epilated your OWN armpits.

hard as nails, me

I’ve had my eyebrows done so many times I actually enjoy it. Especially the bit between my brows.

I can’t summon up the confidence to have the trash done.

You can always get your lip waxed - threading is then used just to pick up the ones that get missed.

Don't go when you're due on, as that makes it a lot more intense, and cooler days are better than hot ones.

It does get easier - and the worst place, in my opinion, isn't the upper lip/by the corners of your mouth; it's just in front of your earlobes.

I have my eyebrows done regularly but my top lip once and that was enough! I broke out in awful spots around my mouth loads of them which looked like sores and bloody hurt! Never again

I had my eyebrows threaded once, it hurt like hell and caused my nose to run like a tap, so the poor woman had to keep stopping while I mopped up. Never again, I’m sticking to waxing!

YANBU, I had my eyebrows done and she drew blood.
Just after she'd pulled the thread through her teeth, like dental floss.
Wouldn't it be good if something removed the bloody hairs permanently.

Eyebrows threaded monthly no problem. Top lip once and once only. I'd rather not die in that kind of pain! And yes, the rash/paper cuts she left were hideous.

I've only had my eyebrows threaded a couple of times. I normally have my eyelashes dyed and an occasional eyebrow dye aswell.
Utterly painless, no discomfort at all. The 3 women doing it, looked very skilled. I know not of this pain, of which you all speak!

I had to give up waxing and get threaded instead when I was on treatment for bad skin...oh dear god my eyes still water at the thought of it although it def lasted longer

I had my eyebrows done once and she caught the skin (probably my fault as I didn't pull the skin taut enough) - had a black eye for days! I've also had upper lip/ chin/ neck done once because I'm a secret werewolf. That was much gentler, I think the skill of the person doing it can have an impact on how painful it is and can vary quite a lot.

Eyebrows no problem, top lip threading was like rubbing my face with broken glass never, ever again! I also got loads of spots.

I’d rather spend the rest of my life walking round looking like Freddie Mercury than thread my top lip again

I find threading agonising in general, had my eyebrows done and it was more painful than a full wax! And that's including the last time when I lost rather a lot of skin.

Tweezing all the way! (For eyebrows!)

I get my eyebrows and chin done. It has nothing on having a smear, (or sciatica, or a migraine, or toothache).

I love having my eyebrows threaded.

No one is ever going near my top lip. (I once waxed) Nope, not happening. I'd rather have a smear test. Or even my coil removed.

I just shave my upper lip. As long as I do it gently and every other day or so it doesn’t show, never any rash etc. Used to get it threaded but then braved the shave one day when I couldn’t get to a salon or out to buy wax and have just stuck with it.
