I took my daughter – who failed her first driving test today and is flying to Thailand tomorrow where she is going to be a volunteer in an orphange - to get her eyebrows threaded. She is hoping for an upgrade with her airline and thinks that smooth, sophisticated brows may seal the deal.
So I decided to give this threading mallarkey a go myself. After all it only costs £3 and no lasting damage can be done with a spool of thread, can it ?
I lay back in the chair and my gorgeous oriental threader, her name was Boo, tilted me back further into her lap and spent a few moments familiarising herself with my brows before asking , “Whole face, ma’am ?” I bolted upright and boomed “WHOLE FACE ?! What do you mean WHOLE FACE ??” Boo cleverly avoided further drama by shrugging her shoulders and replied “Sorry no aspeaky English, just brows today, yes ?” “Yes, please” I told her and now I’m scared to look in a mirror because I’m convinced that a werewolf face will be looking back at me.
So what do your eyebrows look like? I love threading as it does given you a “wide awake” look but I find that the sensation is weird – like having rubber bands rubbed vigorously on your face. I also had my eyebrows dyed last week after my threading and they turned out too dark so I looked like Nana Mouskouri without the robes.
Julie, I look like I am in a state of constant surprise. My husband has asked “What’s wrong” several times today already.

OUCH!! You are sooo much more braver than me. I’ve tried threading once but the caterpillar unibrow doesn’t seem to like being manhandled this way.
I’d much rather stick to waxing suffer the lovely red after effects…
Oh to be a nice bald eunuch…..
