eyebrow threading

destination09

Anyone know a place to get this done in the metro?  I live in NW suburbs but am willing to drive if the person comes highly recommended.  I tend to have bad reactions to waxing and want to try this, but prefer not to do it in the window at a mall

I did it at a kiosk in Southdale Mall.  The woman did an amazing job.  I closed my eyes so I didn't know if people were watching me or not.  I know that doesn't really help you.

I too got it done at a mall but Eden Prairie. To me it hurt a lot more then waxing and it didn't last that long at all.

I see Christina at Blink!. blinkforbeauty.com.  She's incredible, especially if you have bushy eyebrows like I do.   It's a little pricey, but mine are so out of control that it's worth it.

 I started going to her because I was on accutane and so couldn't have waxing done.  The last time I went she actually did a combo of waxing and threading.

Just read the OP more clearly.  I tend to get a rash of waxing most places I've gone - even fancy Aveda salons.  There's redness after threading, but this time when she did the combo my skin didn't panic at all.  It was fantastic.

Do not go to the place in Ridgedale. I know you said you didn't want a mall setting where people could see you, but that place (can't remember the name) is pretty private. However, she cut me with the thread twice! I was bleeding and had big cuts that could be seen for about a week.

I've only done it once and I did it at MOA.  I was going to suggest Ridgedale, but it looks like Whitman had a bad experience and that would make me stay away.  I will say that even though it gave me a super bad headache (maybe the headache was coming on any way, who knows) my eyebrows had never looked better.

I have it done at the place at MOA.  $12.  That said, you have to tell them not to make them too thin.  But it is fast, and I cannot do waxing due to Differin.  I'd love to try Blink, but I'm not sure I can justify double the price.

It KILLS me to spend that much.  I went a few months ago to a normal salon, since I didn't have the waxing restriction anymore.  It was awful, since now I've seen how good Christina can make my brows look. I just try to pluck in between so I can stretch it out as long as possible.  

I swear, before I moved to Minneapolis, I did my eyebrows by myself and spent <$20 on a haircut.  Now I pay $30 for my eyebrows and $60 for my hair. Ugh.

You might have convinced  me to give her a try.  Sometimes the women at MOA mess up the arch on one of my brows a bit, so if this woman is amazing, then I could be sold on the cost.  I do save money on my cut and color by going to Juut's training salon in Uptown, though.
