So as you can see very red.
I guess they aren't too bad, but they are a lot thinner then what I normally go for, and considering I only asked for a tidy, I'm pissed off that she changed the shape.
She also trimmed my brows. I hate having my brows trimmed and she didn't even ask, by the time I realised one eyebrow had been done so the other had to be trimmed to even it out.
The process was slow, and very painful. I have been having my eyebrows threaded for about 5 years, and I have been used as a training model and haven't been in this much pain. It felt like the hairs where anchored in and she was having to yank them out, rather than the quick movements that you normally get. She even managed to pull out one of my eyelashes....
The thread also broke several times, something that I've never witnessed before, which is fair enough, but when it broke the second time she accidentally slapped me in the face.
To top it all off, when she got to the end of the treatment, she put some stuff on too soothe the skin, but then decided to go back in with the thread, what was the point in that!
I feel like the therapist was under skilled, and you just sit in a area in the back of the shop in full view of everyone.
I guess you get what you pay for, so take my advice, pay more and don't get you eyebrows done in Superdrug.
To cheer myself up I did buy a couple of bits:
I wanted to pick up a waterproof mascara to take on holiday, and Maybelline Great Lash was the cheapest, and its pink, so I went with that one.
I also got the Andrea Fulerton Gemstone top coat, which I am sooooo excited about owning. It's meant to be a dupe of Gosh Rainbow. Rainbow coloured flakeys here I come!
Oh dear, the experience doesn't sound too good at all, you should've said something, eek! They look good though, promise!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you had such a bad experience! Yuck. I've had enough bad eyebrow experiences to fill a lifetime that's for sure.
ReplyDeleteI had my eyebrows dones ta superdrug yesterday, im happy with the shape as they were a mess before, but it was painful my eyes were red and i swear i saw some blood speckled on the tissue :/ i paid £5 it was the store in Hull, but i have had it done before it wasnt as painful. and the woman could barely speak english and made me hold my eyes taught for the whole procedure!!
ReplyDeleteI also did my brows in Superdrug in Hull quite few times. Most of them are really good. Though after one session I noticed my skin looked like it's burnt and bruised..had tiny blood dots where my hair was 😨 so I just try to avoid that lady and wait for my regulars to be there 😁

ReplyDeleteYeah, I had a similar experience with superdrug threaders recently. Some of them are very good, but the good ones usually don't stay working in the place for too long. :( x
ReplyDeleteI got mine done yesterday , I asked for a tidy up as had strays. she totally took threaded my eyebrows away and they are too thin, I have been growing them a year. thought she was taking a wile , I also have a couple of scratches and hardly any brows :(
ReplyDeleteI completely agree. Got mine done today in superdrug chippenham and they are now much thinner than they were despite asking for a tidy. Despite them being a nice shape it's not the shape I wanted nor the shape I had. I was very annoyed after. Instead of being apologetic the lady kept saying it's what I had before which was clearly untrue. Back to growing them put now :-( I would advise everyone to avoid this threading experience.
ReplyDeleteI went today, and really enjoyed the results, yes threading is painful, but most beauty treatments are. I think it just depends on the therapist, but the lady I had today was lovely and talkative, I think if you want a specific thickness you should always mention, you should almost treat it as when you go to hairdressers for a trim, each hairdresser has their own idea of what a trim if, so you need to be specific. That's my advice anyway xx
DeleteIt's normal for the threader to tell you to keep your eyes taught. Also, if the procedure is hurting then you need to be vocal about it. I always get my eyebrows threaded by superdrug now. And have learnt to tell the threader not to do them so thin, don't trim them etc, and it's fine. This is in Chelmsford, Essex. Threading hurts, of course it does its ripping the hair from its roots. Just have to grit your teeth and think about other things.

ReplyDeleteHi I do threading too both for myself and other people. The shape of your brow looks amazing. Threading is somehow painful but its worth it. Trimming is also part of threading procedure. Not trimming your eyebrow after tidying up just does not finish up the look. When I do my clients I always explained as I am going along, hence avoiding any unpleasant surprise. Really sorry to hear about your bad experience but overall looking at your eyebrow picture they look great.

ReplyDeleteUsing only pure cotton they will twist and roll the thread plucking those eyebrow hairs down to follicle level. This method of eyebrow threading is a lot quicker and a lot less painful that having to use tweezers, shaping is also a lot better.
ReplyDeleteDon’t become one of the horror stories by going to an untrained practitioner, come beatybyamra where all our Liverpool eyebrow threading beauticians are fully trained in this delicate art.

so you might not want to go straight out on a date afterwards, but it'll last an hour, max eyebrow tinting
ReplyDeleteWOW! Talk about picky! They look fine to me. And if you don't know to expect a little redness after, then you obviously must've never had them done before!
ReplyDeleteI guess with some folks, it's any excuse to give them a chance to get on the Web and rant!
I went to Newcastle metro centre Superdrug. There was 3 chairs and a family of 3 sitting on them. The girl comes over how can I help? I said I want my eyebrows threaded so she told me to go to the main till and pay so I did. I waited behind me there were more people in tbe queue. The 2nd lady comes over sorry for the long wait plz take a seat as 1 seat was empty by then. The 1st lasy shouts out next plz looking directly at the queue I was surprised so was everyone else in the queue. 1 lady in the queue said she's before us so she said move to this chair so I did. Poor me the cuts on my face was that much I cried in pain. Blood constantly come down. I will never visit the store ever again.
