Threading or waxing

Okay so I've been driving down to Belmont for 8 years now to get my eyebrows done via threading (not waxing). I'm a big convert from waxing to threading (they use a thread to pull out the hair). It's a bit more precise and no bumps from the wax. But not only do I travel 40 minutes every 2 weeks to get there, but it's also pretty pricey. $25 plus tip = $30 for me.

Does anyone know of any salons that do threading for cheaper in San Francisco?

I have no clue, but San Francisco is the #1 city to come up in the Google search bar when you type "eyebrow threading." If I knew how to create one of those posts on here that shows the location map, I would do that, but in the meantime, here is the link to the search results that I got:

I did threading once, or rather, had a friend do it for me. It was certainly more pleasant than the plucking that I regularly put myself through and didn't leave the bumps that waxing does, but I didn't feel like it got to everything. Maybe I need to check out your place in Belmont (not too far from where I live) to get a good threading experience...

@StephSF - her name is Mahin and she is located in Belmont Shopping Center. 650-592-6505. She trims and does very little plucking to complete the experience but it's not really painful.

@StephSF - you can create a location map when you create a list. In the list you choose Map it and then it creates it. Hope that helps.

@TracyPie: This is not really my thing, but I have a friend who goes to M&M Thread Salon in Berkeley--that might be a little closer in terms of time and I think they are relatively cheap. I've not been there but it is right by a great Thai place.

Here is the Web Link:
