At another place I went to, they used baby oil after I guss to get the excess wax off but this new place uses aloe vera gel which is really soothing.

I watched a youtube video and then had a go at it. It's really easy, I promise. Do a youtube search for threading tutorial. Some are awful, so you may need to watch a few, but you'll get it. Basically, you tie a loop of cotton thread, give it a few twists (three or so, more makes it too tight) and then line it up with your brows and go from there. It's honestly easier to show then to explain with words, hence the videos.

You would think so but who knows. i prefer the aloe vera gel and the witch hazel suggestions.
