Where and How Much for Cheapest Eyebrow Threading in your Town? £2 in Croydon

Options
I'm thrilled, after forking out about £12 a long time ago in Debenhams or House of Frasier for an eyebrow threading, to discover a little place in Croydon that does it for £2!

It's at the back the Asian luggage store, opposite M&S, and beside HMV.

I was a little wary at first, as the first time did sting a bit, but I've just come back from a second time, 5 weeks after the first time, and it didn't hurt at all. I think I was very hairy the first time! Lol.

Anyhow, I thought it might be a good idea if we all posted the cheapest and best places in our local towns.

    Wow that's insanely cheap...lucky you! Cheapest I have found in Warrington, although I have to admit I haven't hunted all that hard, is £10 inside Golden Square shopping centre. Don't think it's too bad as she normally does a brow tint at the same time for no extra cost and is pretty good. You do have to sit there whilst all the other shoppers walk past gawking at you though!

    wow that is cheap i have had it done a few times but dislike threading cant stand cotton in their mouth and find it painful so go for waxing now but what a bargain.
    Before you point fingers,make sure your hands are clean !;)
  • Great thread! I am a long-term threading fan, absolutely hate getting my eyebrows waxed so I spent a good couple of hours researching local threading salons. I eventually found a girl who does threading from home in Newcastle which was £3 as opposed to my nearest salon (still 40 mins away) that did it for £15 and the Metro Centre that did it for £12. Went along today and had them done and really chuffed. The girl was lovely and really took her time, made sure it wasn't sore etc. I've paid £10 for it before and have gone home and had to do a bit of plucking as it wasn't very well done so I am thrilled I've found this person.

    Well done:) even my area is catching up now, dd and I had ours done in the local large town superdrug for £10 but it was bogof:T so a fiver each and a stamp each in a loyalty card when youve paid for 6 you get one free - the girl did a lovely job too, we were paying £15 each in the only place that did it and we had to travel so I'm really pleased:D
    Thank you for this site Martin
    The time for change has come
    Good luck for the future

    definitely worth asking in your area's Asian salons - both our shopping centres here in Nottingham have staff from Asian salons who do threading, eyebrow tint, false lashes etc from stalls there. The going rate for eyebrow threading is £4.99, and loyalty card so you get one free once you've paid for 5.

    £2-£3 in Tooting! Best place is Sajna, the girls there really know what suits your face, and are so quick, and in such demand they have a paper number ticketing queueing system! There used to be a 99p place towards Tooting Bec but it was a bit far for me, I think they're £1.99 now.

    It's the same at St Stephen's Shopping Centre in Hull. It's £5 for eyebrow threading.;)
