OK, I’ll admit it, I’m hooked. I’m obsessed. I’m addicted! I *love* threading. Love it!
What, you may ask, is threading? It’s an ancient Indian art of hair removal using… thread, imagine that. 🙂 It’s very quick, mostly painless, and much more precise than waxing. It doesn’t irritate or burn your skin like waxing can. It’s also typically cheap, under $10.
If you don’t live in a big city, it may be hard to find a salon that offers threading. If you live somewhere like that (like here in Raleigh), your best bet is to start asking Indian women where they go to get it done. You’ll likely find a woman who runs a salon out of her basement or extra room in her house.
Shilpa, the woman I go to, used to have this sweet salon set up in her basement but got tired of all the traffic in and out of her house. She recently opened up a real salon in a little strip mall on Chatham Street.
If you like meticulously groomed ‘brows and think you might like to try an alternative to waxing or plucking, I can’t recommend it highly enough.
