Hi there gals!
Just thought of sharing my experience with you! I started threading only about 1 year ago upon recommendation from one of my indian girlfriend. As you might have read, threading actually originates from India... so i trust that they are pros in this area, i would say. Before my threading experience, i used to shave or pluck, depending on whether i am in a rush or not! This is actually kind of bad... i heard from my indian girlfriend that shaving will cause ingrown hair in the long run and also create dark-looking pores(which look like blackheads)! So i stopped shaving my eyebrows and followed her to little india to start my threading experience. The first time i did, it was a little painful... but still bearable. After the session, little red rashes like mosquito bites appeared around my eyebrow area. I got quite scared then, because my indian girlfriend looks perfectly fine after threading. She assured me that it will go off at most half an hour later. We took a bus back then and chatted, and by the time we reached our destination, the bumps were gone! I looked at myself in the mirror, and i realised that i have got myself the most beautiful eyebrows I've ever gotten for myself! From then onwards, i told myself that i will never stop threading! It has been the most amazing thing I've ever tried! The most powerful thing about threading is also that i realised my hair has grown finer and the shape of my brows are more defined than the past! It will only grow back like 3 weeks later. So gals... anyone of you who wanna try threading, I would say, GO FOR IT!!! You'd not regret it!
I work in Raffles place and used to travel all the way down to Little India just to do my eyebrow threading. Recently, i discovered a terrific therapist who did a fantastic threading job for me near my working place where i always have my lunch! It is in The Arcade at Raffles Place, #03-08. The shop's name is called Hairloom... newly opened, i think. Cos i see lots of flowers outside their shop...! The price is comparable to Little India, some services are cheaper in fact. $5 for eyebrow threading and $12 for the full face i think. They also have other cheap services like brazilian waxing and stuffs.
Happy threading, gals!
