WAXING
Cost : Varies by sa lon on average $15-$35+
The Pros: Waxing gives you a clean look and tends to have the longest period in between regrowth. So if you have thicker, coarser hair that grows back quickly, waxing is the best option for shaping. It also encourages thinner, softer regrowth.
The Cons: Not recommended for the sensitive types. The most common complaint about waxing is the temporary red halo it can create around the treated area after the service. Try an application of Kristie Streicher’s Afore Oil a couple of hours before your wax to reduce inflammation.
Tweeze
Cost: Pluckers vary by brand range from $.99-$10+
The Pros: Tweezing is an incredibly DIY technique. This technique of plucking out hair by hair offers major precision. You can pencil your eyebrows in their desired shape and then tweeze around that, using it as a guideline. However, if you’re just plucking in between and around the brows, you’re allowing your hair to grow for a more imperfect.
The Cons: If you tweeze incorrectly, it’s not like a bad haircut. Sometimes the eyebrow doesn’t grow back. Be conservative! And say no to magnifying mirrors. You get too close and can start to over-tweeze.
Thread
Cost: varies by salon, on average $10+
The Pros: Threading gives you the cleanliness that waxing gives you just with more definition. With a simple string, your eyebrows can be shaped and trimmed in only a couple of minutes. At about $10 a session, threading is also less expensive than waxing.
The Cons: The super-speedy nature of the service is often cause for reckless hair removal. Most technicians make use of threading for the natural brow line and tweezing any stray hairs afterward.
