The last few years have been interesting for both consumers and service providers for many reasons. There’s been a shift for some consumers to see what services can be done at home, with the help of some internet instruction. Many people are attempting to perform tasks usually left to professionals themselves. “Do-it-yourselfer” is the term the internet has coined this type of money-saving self-reliant individual. While we have nothing against people attempting to do things for themselves or teach themselves new skills, we feel certain there are some services that should be left to the professionals. As with any task, if not done correctly, there can be consequences. Sure, you can attempt to fix your clogged kitchen sink yourself, but there’s an inherent risk/reward factor to consider. You may save a few hundred dollars by fixing the garbage disposal yourself, but you may also lose your pointer or ring finger in the process! While not quite as dangerous as attempting to fix spinning blades in the sink, trying out eyebrow threading at home can leave individuals with eyebrows that are less-than-desirable looking and even damaged skin. This article will discuss why it’s best to leave eyebrow threading to the professionals and not attempt eyebrow threading at home.

Eyebrow Threading at Home: It’s Not as Easy as You Might Think

Artists at any reputable eyebrow salon will practice, train, and work for years to get their craft down. Because eyebrow threading doesn’t involve too many tools, some people misinterpret that it’s easy to learn; this is far from the truth. Here are some of the common mistakes amateurs will make when attempting eyebrow threading at home. Lack of awareness of hair and skin sensitivities Aside from needing to have an artistic eye, steady hand, and an understanding of eyebrow styles, eyebrow threading artists need to have a keen sense of what type of hair each of their clients have and how the hair and surrounding area of skin will receive the treatment. Each client is going to have hair different from the next and skin sensitives. Trained eyebrow artists will be watching and “course correcting” as they shape the brows, and only an experienced eye will catch the signs the brows are presenting during the service.

Damaging the hair follicles and skin People who are inexperienced with eyebrow threading will often snap off the hair follicles, not pull them out by the root as is intended by the service; this can leave the hair follicles damaged, making it difficult for them to grow back appropriately. Also, people with sensitive skin can experience irritation, rashes, or bleeding from eyebrow threading when the person threading uses a heavy hand, not a light touch. Forcing styles that don’t work with the natural eyebrow shape Eyebrow artists have a keen understanding of what each patient’s natural eyebrow shape and curvature are. Eyelash threading isn’t about forcing the eyebrows into an unnatural shape; it’s about working within the natural shape’s boundaries and crafting brows that have greater definition and beauty. You can’t force a shape or style that isn’t there, and eyebrow artists work within the confines of the eyebrow’s natural shape to create something even more stunning and beautiful. Not keeping the skin taught When professional artists work on a client’s eyebrows, they make sure that the skin surrounding the brows and eyes is taught; this keeps the threading more accurate and precise, reducing the risk of mistakes and skin damage. This is accomplished with tools or even with the help of the patient holding their skin while the artist does their work. This skincare measure is often overlooking when people are threading themselves at home.
