I had my brows threaded yesterday for the first

[Chippingnortonset123]

Time. And the last time. I admit that I had easy births but I would have rather birthed. She did one brow, with me pulling a brow up, thereby assisting in the torture. I very nearly left with one brow alone. Never again. I usually have them plucked, which is painless.

I had mine done for the first time recently and it wasn't especially painful. Maybe she wasn't very good?

Though I do normally get them waxed, and birthing a baby is definitely preferable to that!

I've had it done a couple of times and it fucking hurts. I recently had some minor surgery awake because I don't come round well from GA and the threading was worse. I now just tweezer mne.

I read a thing on buzzfeed today about how to thread. I tried it. It fucking hurt so much.

But I was quite pleased that it could do it myself, maybe I'll build up a tolerance?

Oh, I know what you mean. It was torturous for me the first few times too. And I have heard it said from others that they found it worse than childbirth. But the result is better than waxing and I promise that it really does get better after about 3-5 times.

But that said, DO NOT get your upper lip done! AGONY!!!

Dear lord - you lot must have had easy births . I'd have my eyebrows threaded approximately. ... let's see... a million times rather than give birth again. Seriously, no exaggeration.

Thank god its not just me that finds it so bloody painful! I have to psyche myself up to get them done but love the results.

I do think it depends on the person doing it. I've had mine done loads and usually have to stop them half way as I am crying. I tried a new lady last week and she was brilliant and it barely hurt at all.

Totally depends who is doing it. I've now found someone who makes it painless for the upper lip and mild for eyebrows. It's fab!

FFS, must have had sneeze births.

I regularly get brows and upper lip threaded & I wouldn't even compare it with birth. I've never yet demanded pain relief to cope with threading!

I do find it a bit painful but not unbearable. I only hope childbirth is not as bad as that as then it will be easy!! I must admit my eyes always water though which is embarrassing. I have to mop up with loads of tissues. Upper lip is worse but still bearable. It goes red after though do never have it done and then meet someone!!

I prefer waxing

I get mine done regularly and really like the look.

Only time I found it unbearable was during pregnancy!

DD and me had ours done last week in a local shopping centre. They were bloody vicious. And rude.

Had them done before in Debenhams and that was fine, much more care taken.

Agree you must have had easy births.I would have my eyebrows done ten times a day compared to the two deliveries I've had.

Ive never had this done.

Could i ask a few questions please?

How much does it cost and how much 'growth' does there have to be and how long does it last?

If the practitioner is skilled brows shouldn't hurt at all. I did find having my top lip done a bit painful the first time, but not thereafter.

Yeah, it kills. It does get less sore as you get used to it but not by much. I think it looks way better than waxing or plucking though - threading makes brows look naturally perfect rather than over-groomed as some waxers can. I love it!

I was nearly sick having mine done once! The pain was horrific but I think because it's a nagging type of pain.
I was told it's worse if you're on your period (don't know why-think someone said nerve endings? ??)
much prefer having them waxed!

Find a quiet salon with someone experienced and it will be much better I promise. I can't bear those ones in the middle of shopping centres.

I've been doing it for years and it takes minutes, hurts a bit but bearable and totally worth it for the results.

I use hypnobirthing breathing techniques to get through mine. For real!

My 12 yo old has hers done. not a whimper. I guess she's pretty hardcore!

Most painful thing ever (not give birth though!!) I stick to waxing now.
