I have threaded before, but now I am going to wax eyebrows instead? How painful is it compared to threading?

Question

I have threaded my eyebrows twice now, and I can handle the pain, but the place is too far to drive to. I have a little salon right next to me that I can go to to wax my eyebrows,but is it more painful than threading for those of you that have tried it? What do you reccomend? On a scale of 1-10 how painful is waxing the first time, even though I have threaded before? How long does it take?

Answer 1

It dosent hurt more the first time...its just that you go in not knowing what to expect.  Its not horrible, otherwise millions of people wouldnt do it.  Its super quick and over before you know it.  My 13 year old does it w/o a fuss.  Just keep thinking of how pretty your brows will look afterward.  

Answer 2

i've never threaded but i do wax.

it's a lot less painful than plucking.

i'm fifteen and i first waxed my brows

at twelve or so. i just got mine done

a couple days ago, actually.

it's about a 6 during the waxing but

the pain fades immediately.

Answer 3

First off, if you've been to the same place both times to thread and you like there work I would recommend going back...Even if its a little far, its better to drive a ways then to go somewhere and they completely butcher your brows....I've never threaded but I have waxed and its not bad.  It's quick 10-15mins. and fairly painless.  my first time I would say was a 6or 7 now im like a 2 if that. lol!
