Want to start getting my eyebrows waxed/threaded

At the moment I pluck them, and I have to pluck them everyday because the blighters come through everyday and I have very dark hair and no fringe to hide behind. If I went over to waxing/threading, would they not grow through so regularly? Those that wax, how do you stand the days of growth before your appointment, how long do you have to grow them for? I can't face walking around with 2 hairy catapillars for days (weeks?) before getting them done! Any advice?

I taught myself to thread this morning - it's easy peasy! Look on youtube. It took me about 5 mins, I just need to speed up. It must be the same re growth time - you are yanking the hair out, doesn't make a difference how it is done.

I get mine waxed every 4 weeks but I'm fair. If I get really obvious hairs or excessive fuzz in between visits I pluck them. But I don't mess with the shape.

I was hoping if I grew them and got them waxed all together, then they would grow back together iyswim, rather than a few growing back each day, or will they still grow back higgledy piggledy?

Re threading - I don't think I can be arsed to do it myself but do they need to be grown in to get done? I pluck but growth has been at turbo speed lately

Mine grow back fairly evenly but I guess the darker hairs stand out more for me.
I let mine grow for a few months (looked like something from the Muppets) but it allowed my beautician to reshape them and I love them now.
