Does anyone know where I can get my eyebrows threaded in Aberdeen? Twice I've tried waxing and ended up looking like I've been boxing. I phoned James Dun's but they don't do it.

    I saw this on the tele recently it looked and sounded rather painful :eek:

    Can't help you out in Aberdeen but I did see that the people who run a nail bar in the Gyle shopping centre also offer threading.

    Do you have any Asian female friends they should be able to tell you salons that offer it. Have found this ad on Gumtree cant recomend them personally. I got it done once bit sore, makes your eyes water but not too bad, I think she took too much off my eyebrows and I felt very startled, at least it wasn't like the time I got waxed and looke liked I'd been punched and had the skin burnt off my eyelids
    Booo!!!

    I was in Harvey Nick's in Edinburgh last week (treat lunch for my dd after her exams) and they had signs up offering threading but said I had to book weeks in advance (although they had no customers at the time), not much use for me in the cold north.
