Hi,
No, I prefer to go salon for threading. I can do threading, but never do mine.
Thanks!!

I've never tried threading, but I sneeze like crazy whenever I'm plucking my eyebrows. If threading has the same effect, I don't think I'll try it.

I groom them myself. All I do is pluck obvious strays. I don't thin them or alter the shape at all. Never have. I was a teen/college student in the 90s when all the girls were plucking their brows to oblivion, and I never did. So many of my peers have permanently thinned brows, now, from that.

I do it myself. I have very thick eyebrows that merge into that dreaded unibrow in the center, and it would cost me a fortune to keep going to a professional. I have a very simple and effective system. First I use an eyebrow razor with the unfortunate name Tinkle. Those are very cheap to purchase online. I follow with trimming my overgrown upper stragglers with scissors.

When I tweeze, I find a few spots here and there that definitely set off a sneeze.

My brows are probably the only facial feature I like of mine. I am very lucky in that they pretty much grew in perfectly and kind of shaped already for my face. I don't have very thick brows. All I have ever done is plucked the stragglers here and there.

My cousin also over plucked and they looked so off. They were too short.

For some reason, I have had multiple men over 70 tell me I have nice eyebrows. Weird.

I've always done mine. While mine have thinned somewhat with age, it's the fact that they've grayed that's annoying. I really should dye them. If I don't use eye pencil (I use Hourglass Arch in "Ash") I look like I have no brows.

My brows naturally have an easy shape to maintain. I do the shaping myself. I've noticed they have a few silver hairs in them that give them an ashy dull look.

Do you color your hair? If so have your stylist color you brows too. I have mine colored every other hair color. Makes a big difference.

I'm a silver goddess. . I gave up hair color a few years ago. But I might see about getting my brows done. Thanks!

I have a decent brow shape, but I have tweezed my own for the last 12 years. I also use either L'Oreal Brow Stylist Define , NYX Micro Brow Pencil or Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz to give then a more refined look.
