I had my brows and face threaded yesterday at a shop here in Tucson.
Holy mother of God it hurt! Maybe I exaggerate a little. But I don't know: It was intense.
I didn't remember such acute, scissor-like pain when I had my brows or face threaded before.
As I sat in the chair, I remembered past brow-zings with wax, tweezers or thread, some of which I collected in a post from 2015, and which I offer below:

Rootless Brow - zing
The other day, I had my brows waxed. While I lay on the table, I remembered other such times.
In Awassa, Ethiopia, two men at a salon threaded my brows. After my brows got cleaned up, I continued my walk "home," and saw:
... there were 15 giant storks. Huge. One alighted, then disgorged food into the mouths of two gangly "teenagers." I watched, agog. A short walk further, directly before me, another tree filled with storks. Walking underneath (glad I had my hat on), I looked up and counted more than 10 oversize nests. As with the Bale Mountain forest, this was the stuff of medieval fairy tales.
Around the corner-ish from my temporary digs in Istanbul, I got my whole face threaded. Amazing how that works, cause you wouldn't think it would.
In 2010, on a road trip with my mother, I had my face cleaned up in a Walmart in Canyon City, Texas.
In Rustavi, Georgia, there were a couple of rugged waxings at a local salon. Yeow. But speaking of Caucasus Georgia, the Georgian women have spectacular brows.
Here's one woman's experience getting her brows done in Nice (waxed) and Palestine (tweezed).
