Eyebrow Threading - Gold Coast
 
Anyone know where there's a salon? Or even Brissie if someone knows somewhere?

No, it's an Indian thing (please correct me) that isn't plucking?? Very good apparantly?

Ooh yeah no it's not plucking. They use a cotton thread, you really can't beat it. Had mine done last in the middle of December in UK and normally get them done every three weeks. Really want to carry on with having them threaded but there doesn't seem to be anywhere here that does it :unsure:

A cotton thread?
I'm confused! Does this mean that they remove each hair one at a time by tying a cotton thread around it ? And what is the difference?
I've never had anyone else 'do' my eyebrows, but do tweezer them myself.

I knew one in Adelaide but its no good to you, try Indian hairdressers, beauty Salon.
I can only do legs but not confident enough to do eye brows.;)

It is plucking really.

The hair is still pulled out from the root - just that they use a twisted cotton thread, instead of a pair of tweezers to do it. :)

What does the finished product look like? I have tried to google it, but haven't had much luck :o

They can get the tiny little hairs so the finished product is very clean. It's less painful then plucking, too.

Oh I love it, personally, think it's very neat and you aren't really red after either so can go straight out after :)

Yes I only have my brows done, would imagine legs must take ages to do.
