Last week, after some encouragement from y’all, I had my brows threaded for the first time. Oh man, I am just CRAZY about this treatment! It didn’t hurt one bit, just felt a little prickly. And unlike with waxing, I had zero redness or bumps afterward. The secret is in the thread’s proximity to the hair root, which means minimal “lifting” of the skin. That, my friends, is where irritation begins. None of this magic can happen without a top-notch practitioner like Christina at Blink for Beauty. She’s more of a brow therapist, gently teasing out the most flattering shape with a few flicks of her wrist. And her studio! Wildly chic and cozy in a way that only a video could capture. Unfort, my foray into technology does not come without a price. You get this short film in two parts!
First up, a mini-tour of Blink:
Am I right?! Okay, then blogger Katie Stedman just so happened to drop by after my appointment so I caught her threading on tape:
Three cheers for threading! Who’s ready to give it a go?

I have an appointment with Christina for tomorrow. I’m extra excited now. :)
Aileen! I am extra excited FOR you! Please give us a full report!
I just went to Christina last week for the first time and my brows turned out fabulous! Not painful at all and I was excited to try threading considering I can’t get my eyebrows waxed because I’m on Micro Retin-A. Definitely worth it.
@Christine – that is such a good point. Any sort of topical anti-aging or anti-acne treatment thins the skin and promotes lifting/peeling during waxing. Another reason to love threading!!
How cute is her space! Calling for an appt right now…
Love this! I’m using Differen Gel, which prohibits me from getting waxed. Needless to say, I look like the Geico Caveman’s sister. Wink-wink.
