AZ Family: Eyebrow threaders fighting against government regulations

CHANDLER, Ariz. -- Eyebrow threading dates back centuries but it has become more and more popular in the Valley.

In fact, the service is offered at kiosks in most malls.

Kerrie Fender says she's had her eyebrows shaped by threaders a few times. "I can't do waxing. I've tried it a couple of times but my eyes would actually swell shut. I seem to react to the wax or heat or something, so this is a great alternative for me."

The business is now in jeopardy. The Arizona Board of Cosmetology recently put threaders on notice explaining how being unlicensed and untrained puts the public at risk for infections and injuries. The letter goes on to tell them to cease the practice immediately.
