Shall I take off your mustache?

When having your eyebrows threaded, takes a new direction...


I hate having my eyebrows threaded. I hate it.

The pain! The watery eyes! The blotchy redness!

But when finished? They look SO much better, so sleek and fuzz free. The result of eyebrow threading is, for a lot of people, worth the discomfort that only lasts a few minutes per brow.

Threading is a method of hair removal that began in the middle east about 6000 years ago.. (apparently!)  these days it is very popular in western countries and used for beauty purposes!

A piece of cotton or thread, is doubled over then twisted, and run along unwanted hair, whipping it off! With tweezing where you only remove one hair at a time, threading takes away multiple hairs very quickly, it is also easier to control and gives better shaped brows!

During the process you will probably be asked to pull the skin that is being threaded, taught with your hands. This is the bit that hurts! After the threading they apply aloe vera to your bright red brows and at this point... they will ask if you want anything else doing.

This week, during a shopping trip in Warrington, I was asked if I would like my mustache doing... at a public brow bar in the middle of a shopping center! 

Now, I am okay with sitting in front of shoppers passing by, swigging their Starbucks and looking at me and my unwanted hair with pity, but I absolutely draw the line at letting them watch me having my VERY minimal upper lip hair, whisked away in a painful fashion.

Red eyebrows is one thing, but a red upper lip? I will save that for my bathroom thank you!
