Hi Ladies! My favorite threader recently went on maternity leave. I've been getting my eyebrows threaded for over 10 years, but thought I would try plucking them myself until she returns. Not a very good idea - I ended up with a shorter right eyebrow and trimming too much from the left

Plus it must trigger some sort of sneezing reflex b/c I sneeze through most of my right-eyebrow plucking.
I tried waxing years ago, but hated the redness/swelling. Any suggestions on what to do? Should I find a new threader? Any tips on plucking?
Happy New Year('s Eve)!
