this is by far THE BEST technique out there. you dont know what REALLY good eyebrows look like until you've had yours threaded. trust me. wax comes nowhere close to the kind of precise shape that comes from threading. with threading, u can focus on one individual hair at a time if you want. its great. it gives you EXACTLY what kind of shape you want and lets you control the thickness, thiness in all of the areas, ex. arch. i love it so much, that i taught myself how to thread my own mustache and jaw area. as for eyebrows, i'm still practising it...but for now i cant live without my threading lady. she only costs $5!!
