What is Eyebrow Threading?

My sister and I was in a discussion a couple months ago about eyebrow threading. A friend of hers went someone to Atlanta to have it done. We started researching online and there is a place right in Lawrenceville that charges $15.00. Sandi went to have it done for the first time a couple weeks ago. I really didn't remember what her brows looked like before, but I saw them the day she had it done and they did an amazing job. I then for sure wanted to try it. The O'Salon in Lawrenceville at the corner of Five Forks Trk and Sugarloaf Pkwy (Publix Shopping Center). It only took about 15 minutes and it was different. I will definetly do it again - probably more than getting my brows waxed. Under the brow has always been tender for me even when waxing - I am like WOW that just ... oh its over now- the thread grabs the hair and eventually the area gets numb and you don't feel anything anymore. I suggest atleast trying it once.

Salons in Western nations offered the service to Middle Eastern clients for decades before European and American women became interested and the popularity of eyebrow threading skyrocketed.

The technique is sometimes listed on salon menus as khite or fatlah, which are both Arabic words for threadingthreadingthreading.

For women who would like to pursue a more natural beauty regimen, eyebrow threading is a good choice, since it does not use harmful products.

EyebrowEyebrowEyebrow threading is a preferred hair removal technique for a number of reasons. Unlike tweezing or plucking, eyebrow threading removes one clean line of hair all at once, making it much quicker and easier to shape the brows. Eyebrow threading also will not harm the skin like wax and some depilatory creams can. If done correctly, the skin should not be red or irritated for more than a few minutes after the eyebrow threading session. Some aestheticians also find it easier to shape eyebrows using this technique than other methods available.
