    Where do you live? People here might know cheaper places near you?

    In London i pay £3, but i could pay £2 and travel a couple of tube stops and the same place is £10 for entire face. But £3 and its 5 mins walk from my flat.

    Thank you for this. Showed my fiance the video and around 15-20 mins later he had threaded my eyebrows for me :D. He usually plucks my eyebrows for me every few weeks but had been thinking about getting them threaded for a while now.

    Costs anything from £3.50-£15 for eyebrows near me :eek:.
    Full face threading anything from £15-£45 :eek::eek:.

    Such a difference in price. However now will only have to think about it if I want a certain shape and then my fiance can do it after that :rotfl:.

    Excellent!

    I get my eyebrows threaded every 3 weeks and it costs me £3 - bargain! I never cease to be amazed at what a good shape they achieve. I thik I have bald patches too but if ever they get a bit unruly in between it's easy to jsut pluck out the odd stray hair.

  • I just gave it a quick go, not very successfully, but will try again in the future, when I have more time (not when I am going to be running back to work in a rush!)

    Basically you're living in one of the most expensive and least diverse areas of the UK! Time to DIY.

    :D

    Ironically I have lived in Essex all my life...and am amazed at just how diverse it has become. Plenty of cheap threading options available as you head to the Essex / London border.
