Do you pluck or wax your eyebrows? Which hurts more, and which lasts the longest?

I pluck. I would never wax as two eyebrows are never the same.

Threading hurts a lot!! I prefer plucking because when I have had them waxed in the past, tiny little hairs are left behind and I'm very picky about my brows.

I good waxer can determine how thick based on your face shape, and also they should be able to shape them correctly too. If you go to a place that has you look at templets to choose how you want them don, it's probably not the best place. They should ask you "thick or thin?" To get your preference and that's it. I would go to get them professionals shaped by a good waxer then do threading to keep them maintained for I don't know if it threders jobs to find your arch. I hope that helps!

I do both! Waxing helps everything come ot like a clean look and through years of doing it you'll get less hair and pain is less. Sometimes I do the whole face plucking is everyday.

I like threading! It does hurt, but it's not unbearable. I get mine done professionally every few months and pluck out any untidy hairs that grow to keep them looking neat. :)

I only trust one lady with my brows and she waxes them. In between I do pluck them to clean them up and threading hurts really bad. So waxing for me.

Wax hurts more but is way easier because you don't want to sit there and pluck you eyebrows one by one.
