Eyebrows - Threading, Plucking or Waxing?

    I've never got anything done to my eyebrows before and really know nothing about it so looking for some advice?

    I've been looking the options up on the internet and threading seems to be pretty popular - theyre saying it doesnt leave your skin red, or if it does its gone within 30 minutes, also less painful that waxing and doesnt make the hair grow back thicker like plucking. Also lasts longer.. so threading is looking good!

    What would the rest of you mainly go with?
    Also if any of you are in the Dublin area, let me know the best places to get it done!
    Thanks!

    for me, benefit in brown thomas do an eyebrow arch wax for 14e, doesnt hurt, really quick they do it really well and they put subtle concealer on any redness for ya, which again doesnt last long. thatd be my recommendation!

    I've waxed and plucked, and last week I got threading done and I'll never look back, it's the best thing ever! I'm recommending it to everyone. It just gives a better shape as it' easier for the therapist to shape them using the thread. The salon in La Stampa hotel is the place I went

    Waxing all the way!
    I get the Veet facial strips, cut them to size and off I go!
    Waxing is like pulling a plaster off fast- tweezing is like peeling it off really slowly.
    Get your eyebrows done professionally the first time. It's very easy to over-do it.

    One of my housemates was from iran she always threaded her brows so i asked her to do it on me as it looked quick, easy and cheap .

    MY GOD the pain was wicked i literally couldn't stand it had to get her to stop. Tears were pouring down my face!! And i don't think i'm that big of a wuss but it was sore!! I'll stick to waxing and plucking!!

    i prefer to pluck, i just do every few days, takes a min and they're perfect. waxing makes me red for the whole day. I'm very sensitive

    If you can find somewhere to thread...or better still learn to do it yourself...that would be my first choice...next to that plucking. I don't like waxing.

    stay away from waxing - after yrs of doing it (having it done!) I was advised that the eye area is too delicate and that is causes wrinkles :(

    Usually I go and get them waxed and then try to keep up with plucking them at home.
