It's dead easy after a few goes. I did a lady's 'tache at work today

I think there's a salon for afro hair.

Ah. You'd think there'd be one Asian one.
Oh well.
Nail bar? Maybe a hairdressing salon or nail bar can be persuaded to train someone up to do threading now it's getting popular.

There is an Asian one in a posher part of town, but they are the ones who told me £10! Nail bar is a good idea, I am going to my hairdressers/nail bar on Sat (for my hair, not my nails) and I might ask them/suggest it to them.

and if yer doing under the eyebrow get some medical tape to stretch the skin

Or top tit tape tip, if you've got any of that lying around.

I had mine done for £3 in Tooting at the weekend. I went to Sajna and they were pretty good. Plus I bought myself a bargain sequinned bag at Primarni, like quimmy suggested. And some spices for my Indian cooking. And the best samosas I've ever had from Pooja Sweets. So a good time all round.

Just had a go following the you tube vid.
Well, baring in mind that I had done nothing to them for a couple of months and it was my first ever go, I don't think I did too bad.
I have had a thread, sat with tweezers and hand mirror for a while to get the shaping better and then back to the thread and so on for about an hour with breaks in between.
At the moment I can get the excess above and below the brow off but need to tweeze for shape.
They are so fair and fine though that I keep seeing bits that I have missed and I am sure the shape is not even on both sides.
Hopefully with more practice, once a week or so for a while it will get easier and I will not be starting with such a mess.
Cheers guys. Any more tips are always welcome.
I will give the tape a go in a moment. Oh and I managed to avoid any eyelash plucking so win there.
