I had heard a lot about threading before, and it sounded great since I am allergic to most waxes. I was pretty hesitant when I came in though, when I realized my threader was a tiny redheaded girl (every threader I've ever met/heard of was Indian, Armenian, or some other ethnic nationality). It was a new experience that's for sure. It was virtually painless but a little awkward since you have to basically hold up your eyebrow. When we were done, I was shocked. I don't think my brows had ever looked better! She gave me a perfect arch that hard to find balance between to bushy and pencil. I will definitely be back, I just wish they had more convenient hours.
