I wouldn't worry about it because from personal experience from a few clients who strayed they came back because they had there brows totally jacked up
If your good at what you do people won't stray and if they do run to one of those in the middle of the mall kiosk threading joints they will run even faster back your way for some serious brow rehab!
I seriously don't get why anyone would want to show the world in the middle of the mall that they need facial hair removed. Strange

One of my clients was super into it, and asked me to learn how. I was considering it but it was low on my to-do list. A few months later she came back & had done a ton of investigating & found out that it can cause hyper-pigmentation and it is similar to shaving (does not pull the hair out, just cuts it off. She now comes to me every month and is happy to! Don't know is this helps you, but it helped me! :)

If threading is done properly it pulls the hair from the follicle. Unlike hot wax threading does not cause skin lifting or other associated problems that can be had with waxing

Of course it depends on the person being skilled and informed just like a good waxer.

I am sorry, I don't have experience with this directly, but does it seem strange to anyone that you put the thread in your MOUTH? I don't keep my wax sticks in my mouth. (Not even the "other" end.)

Just a thought.

There is another technique that doesn't require you to put the thread in your mouth. Of course I know many people who double dip sticks and then uses the same wax for the next person. Both can cause cross infection. Wax does not get hot enough to kill creepies, if it did then you would seriuosly burn people.
