Cinnamon Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Has anyone had their eyebrows threaded & groomed,especially at a Shavata outlet? I have always plucked ,but I saw an article about the difference a Shavata technician can make & it was really impressive. The brows looked great: Sharp,precise,even & perfect. Just wondering if I should stop plucking & give it a go,as they have an outlet very near to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abwsco Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I've had threading done and it's good but a plucking by my beauty therapist has the same effect for me. She's recently gone on a threading course though as so many people are asking for it. Threading hurt me more than plucking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 the first time my eyes felt awfully sore for weeks later. so stuck to waxing but recently stopped at Brent X and had done and no problems at all. depends on expertise of person doing. I think the first time I had it done by an English woman and since done by an Asian girl - it is part of their culture and they are so much better at it - I think anyway.

keyhole kate Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Threading all the way the hairs take longer to come back and are much finer too I have had it done in Egypt and it was painless yes I think that those who have grown up using it as it's part of there culture are the best though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercedes55 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I've had my eyebrows threaded and although it wasn't painful at the time it did feel very sore later on. Have to say I was very pleased with the results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohcarolina Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I've had my brows threaded a couple of times and I cried like a baby both times. I regularly have waxing and electrolysis but this was so agonising that despite the fab results I just can't bring myself to ever do it again. Fortunately I'm fair so even when they're grown out my brows aren't too bad. Caroline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Not me, I'd rather pluck them myself as I know just how I want them done. There's a brow bar in our shopping centre, more of a booth really; I can't see the attraction of sitting in the middle of the shopping centre having something private done.... but that's just my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted July 1, 2012 Author Share Posted July 1, 2012 Likewise - there is one in The oracle,right in the middle of the foot traffic,which is not my idea of fun at all. But the Shavata lounge is within the House of Fraser Beauty salon,which is a lot more private Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaireG Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I had mine threaded once in Turkey, by a bloke. Never again, it hurt like hell!! I now either tweezer them myself (sharvata tweezers are fab), or have them waxed/plucked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Our local Debenhams does this again in a very public area, right by the escalators, not my idea of fun. I react badly to any kind of hair removal, so my eyebrows are fluffy and proud, fortunately I am blond so they aren't too bad I have had my legs waxed a couple of times and ended up with a terrible rash for weeks that has only cleared up in time for more hair growth, I stick to very gentle shaving.

patsylabrador Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I don't like strangers being too close let alone touching me so my personal care is always DIY. Threading is done by the escalator in Harrow shopping mall and everyone leans over to watch as they travel down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too chickencam... that's exactly how I react My eyebrows are quite fine anyway, so I can give them the occasional pluck. I've often wondered if sugaring is more gentle on your skin but I'm too wary to give it a go!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yvonne Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I used to have my legs sugered, I thought the pain level was about the same as waxing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
