Eyebrow threading VS waxing - which is better

[GetOutOfMyPub1]

I normally get my brows waxed, but have heard from many people that threading is better. If you have had both done then which gives a better result? Also, is threading painful? It looks it! Looking forward to getting my brows done on the 1st either way

I prefer threading, much less painful in my experience

I find threading really painful. I get mine waxed then they thread the stray hairs. Always a good job, can’t wait until it reopens and they can fix my stray brows!

I got my eyebrows threaded for years and HATED it - I have zero pain tolerance - switched to waxing and I actually quite enjoy getting them waxed.

I’ve noticed zero difference in appearance but I have almost no eyebrows left after the furious plucking of my youth

If you have proper eyebrows threadings apparently meant to look more defined.

Threading kills me. It's a much better finish but waxing is much less painful. I cannot stand the pain of threading.

Threading stings, especially when you're due on. If you hold down your eyelid/stretch the skin as instructed, it's easier and more accurate.

It's often a bit cheaper, too, as well as being accurate.

Waxing is quick and less uncomfortable on the whole, as it's done so quickly.

Whether one is better than another, I wouldn't say, as most threading places will happily wax (especially if you're like me with two very hungry caterpillars crawling across my face about to meet at my nose/hairline) and then tidy up the individual hairs with thread.

I'd say go for wax + thread shape if you do have a lot of 'tidying' to do.

If you can deal with waxing pain you can deal with threading pain . I’d say threading goes on a bit longer so slightly more painful because of that. I’d say shape is better with threading .

I much prefer threading. You get a much better shape overall I think. As I currently have 2 caterpillars on my face waiting for them to reopen I will be at the front of the queue! I have not touched them since lockdown and they look horrendous.

Thanks everyone. They are super thick and over grown at the moment so I think I'll get them waxed this first time, then try threading when they're next due to be done and aren't so bushy 😂

I prefer waxing, just rips it all off in a jiffy and I can get out of there. Threading seems to take ages.

Threading hurts me. Plus getting my eyebrows done is my only nod to vanity so I want to lie back and relax, not contort my arms into strange positions!

Threading does hurt more and the positions are pretty awkward (I have no choice as allergic to wax)

I prefer waxing; I found threading very painful.

Threading takes longer but it Is more accurate IMO. I also think that long term it's probably a lot more gentle on the skin area of your eyes - waxing is quick but the skin is being pulled really hard which you don't get with threading.

I have only had threading or plucking. I prefer plucking. Threading makes me sneeze and is a bit more painful.

I have quite sensitive skin. I used to get mine threaded, it hurt a lot, it felt like it took ages to do, my eyes watered really badly and my skin stayed red for hours afterwards. I thought if that's how I react to threading then waxing would be even worse and I always said I'd never get them waxed.
Anyway the beauty therapist who used to do my nails suggested I tried waxing. So I did. I expected it to feel like my skin was being ripped off and be extremely painful. I couldn't have been more wrong. It was quick, so much easier, and almost pain free. My eyes don't water and my skin only stays red for a short time afterwards. (The first time it was done as I'd never had it done before I thought she'd done some sort of pre wax thing and the actual wax was still to come, then she said it was all done, I couldn't believe how quick it was).
I know most people say avoid wax if you have sensitive skin, but for me it's the opposite. I'd never go back, I wish I'd tried waxing sooner instead of having years of painful threading.

Waxed and then threaded. That's what my lady does anyway. Gosh I miss her.

Waxing . Skin smoother

I prefer waxing.

I find that threading stings and for some reason, i always end up with a queasy tummy

Threading for me.

Both painful but I find threading to be an irritating pain. Hate it. I'd rather do it myself with tweezers than get them threaded.
