I now only get my eyebrows professionally done, but I used to get my pits too (now I use one of those epilady type things, but I've been seriously considering laser hair removal). Despite the thin blond hair on my head, the rest of my body is not so nice.
I started waxing my brows in college, but had issues with breaking out afterwards. Finally a few years later I found a lady I loved and we worked out a system so I didn't break out at all, and she got to know my brows (which like to behave rather strange) so well. I was spending $10 on hair cuts twice a year, but $25 to get my brows done twice a month.
Unfortunately I just can't take the time to dive back there twice a month since I moved last year. I was fearful of finding a new place and the break-out issue, so I tried threading at a place super close to my house. They don't do as good of a job as the other lady did, but the price ($8) and location make it worthwhile.
Personally I don't find threading to be that painful. It is more drawn out, and waxing is probably better because there is only a few moments of pain, but in my experience threading is totally bearable. It really helps to hold the skin taught.
