While I was hesitant to try what was described to me as having my hair ripped out of my face by thin threads of cotton, shaving every day simply wasn't giving me the smoothness I so desperately needed. And passing for a woman is a real pain in the ass when you have to grow the 1/4 inch of facial hair needed to wax it.
The staff is really friendly and personable. Well, as friendly as they can be when ripping out facial hair. I have a limited amount of experience, but I found the threadist to be quick, professional, and relatively patient. There were a couple of times when I had to lift my head out of the chair to get my cry on, and although I could see her laughing to herself, she was patient and understanding.
The process took about 45 minutes. A few strays hair and a lack of soothing balm aside, it was the most positive "beauty" experience I've had yet. And for 35 bucks, I don't mind having to go home and pluck a few missed hairs.
I definitely recommend it for anyone interested in getting threaded. I will definitely be returning when my stubble returns.
Next time I'll pitch in for my partner to get a henna tattoo while she waits.
