Eyebrow Threading Advice, What You Need To Know

Everything you should know about eyebrow-threading.
Good news: The threading process is quick. The entire appointment lasts under 10 minutes. You’ll briefly chat with your brow expert about the shape you want to achieve and go over how he or she will execute it, says Feroz. After that, the threading begins.
You will have to participate in the process. The brow expert will ask you to pull your brow area taut. The tighter the skin is, the better the threading experience, says Feroz.
Your eyes will most likely water. You’re adding unusual pressure to your eye area, so tears are a natural reaction. Make sure your brow expert has tissues on hand, or bring some yourself. Feroz mentions that it’s also completely normal to ask for breaks, especially if it's your first time. If you’re cringing and feel you need to dab your watery eyes, go for it! Remember that you’re the client, and your comfort is key.
Feroz explains that with threading, there is a lot more friction than with waxing or other hair-removal methods — so expect redness. The thread rubs the skin during the process, but the irritation should subside within a couple of hours after you leave.
Just as you should ask your nail technician how the tools are cleaned, you should do the same with your brow expert. Make sure he or she is using a fresh piece of thread for each client to avoid possible infections.

A little bit of discomfort, a pair of teary eyes, and two perfect brows. We think the results are worth it — if you're game.
