"Never touch your eyebrows!" Countless people told me these words of wisdom growing up. But around middle school, even my mom had to admit that my bushy brows needed maintenance—which landed me in the chair of an eyebrow waxer. Walking out of the room, I'll never forget the pain, redness, and inflammation I experienced following the appointment. Determined to find the best method for brow hair removal, I researched everything from laser hair removal to a classic pair of tweezers. I eventually landed on eyebrow threading and haven't looked back.
"Eyebrow threading involves rolling a cotton thread along the skin, catching and pulling the hair out," celebrity eyebrow specialist Joey Healy explains. "This technique is considered one of the safest and most precise methods to shape the brows," Adriana Orozco, eyebrow specialist and founder of Ikal Spa + Face Salon, adds.
