Eyebrow Threading question

I am thinking about having this done. I usually pluck my eyebrows. Do I need to leave plucking for a while before going for threading and how quick is the regrowth?

    its best to leave the hair to grow a little before getting threaded, but a good threader will be able to get even tiny hairs with their cotton thread :). This website suggests not plucking for 2 weeks prior to having your eyebrows threaded -

    i think re-growth depends on the individual - my eyebrows feel very clean and shaped for about 3-4 weeks after a threading, but my daughter has much more noticeable eyebrows to me, and her regrowth starts being noticeable after 2-3 weeks (but thats still an improvement on when she gets them waxed instead of threaded). Last time I went for an eyebrow-threading there was a woman sat next to me who was getting her whole face done - now thats a brave woman!

    I think that's the advised time although I found if you wait a little bit longer it seems to appear that bit sharper for it afterwards. I may be wrong but always feels like that to me with my lady :) x

    I'm crap at shaping them myself and I hate it when they start looking unruly but it does look sharper if you can bear to wait!
