Waxing Versus Threading

One of my biggest pet peeves in life: I HATE when my eyebrows need to be shaped. I’ve tried both waxing and threading, and I’ll give you my opinion of which one I think works best.
Waxing: Waxing is used all over the body. People can get their eyebrows waxed or they can get their bikini line done. Basically, waxing is just what it sounds like. The person applies warm wax to the area that hair removal is requested. Then, the waxer takes a small cloth and smoothes it across the wax. One all the hair is pressed on the cloth, the waxer rips the cloth away, removing the wax and the excess hair. The pain only lasts a few seconds and aloe is applied to soothe the skin. Waxing can cost anywhere from $5-$50 ( if you wanted a full Brazilian wax, it’s probably going to be a little pricey.) The results last for about 2 weeks, longer if you keep up with your tweezing.
Threading: Threading is a technique that began in India. The threader uses a spool of thread and removes the hair from its follicle. The threader uses a formation of the thread and almost shaves the hair away. Threading is mostly only used on the face (eyebrows and upper lip). This can cost from anywhere from $10-$25 dollars. Threading is not as painful as waxing, and it also does not leave your skin raw and red. It does take a little bit longer, but the results are better, and the hair is removed longer than 2 weeks.
So, what’s my pick? Threading. I believe they shape my eyebrows better and the results last longer. But do not throw waxing out the window; see what works best for you!

I have only tried waxing, but would love to try threading. Are there any places in or around Salisbury that offer threading?
