I've been sad lately because the girl I normally go to for waxing at the salon left over a year ago. Since then I have tired of paying the old salon $30 to do it wrong 95% of the time.
Needless to say, I have way too much hair on my face. What's a girl to do?
Until today I was a total threading virgin and I spent some time psyching myself up in the parking lot/ hyperventilating before I gathered the courage to walk in. I mean, $10 to rip the hair off your eyebrows and the chance to maybe not look like a wooly mammoth all the time? Probably worth the risk.
I'm glad I tried it! I was in a chair 4 seconds after I walked in the door, so I didn't have much time to regret it or run away. The internets told me that threading is more painful than waxing, but I did not find that to be the case at all.
Okay, I cried. A little. But it's because threading isn't like waxing. It takes more time to rip hair off your face with thread than it does with hot wax. However, it doesn't burn and leave your eyes swollen for hours afterwards, it just takes a little longer and makes your eyes water more. After I got over the initial anxiety about new people, places and experiences it was actually a little relaxing. As relaxing as a hair removal experience can possibly be, anyway.
For me, the results are absolutely worth it and the price was amazing. She did an excellent job with very little direction and I no longer feel like a sad wooly mammoth. She didn't even make fun of me for the haphazard job I've been doing myself for the past few months. I'd say that's a win.
