Not my upper lip, but my eyebrows. I hate it, and I would much rather do wax and get it over with in like 10 seconds as opposed to prolonging the agony with the threading.
Hell no. You know what you guys should do? Go to Walgreens, buy one of those bikini trimmers that look like this (about $10):
And just use that.
Gets rid of the hair completely but doesn't take off the top layer of skin or cut the hair bluntly so it doesn't grow back prickly. Takes about 20 seconds, once a week and that's it. Oh, and it's painless.

I have my eyebrows and upper lip threaded about once every 3 months or so. I'm a hairy mofo and it lasts so much longer than waxing does. And I never break out from it.
The lady that does it is wonderful and has it all done in about 5 minutes... but holy hell does it hurt. I cry every time.
Me too! Works great on the upper lip as well. I'm part Italian with super pale skin and dark hair, so I get those stupid little upper lip hairs. I've used this for years, and love it. Never needed to do any waxing or threading or anything. Which is great because I have pretty sensitive skin.
It takes me maybe 10 seconds to trim my eyebrows. I've had it for 6 years (and haven't had to replace the battery lol).
I never get the lip threaded only the brows. I wax my lip because the hair does not need to be shaped, it just needs to go. I love the shape they give my brows with threading. No tadpole brows ever. Lip threading looks so awkward and painful. I just can't do it.
I have seen these places starting to pop up around here. I don't understand how it works. I usually go get my brows waxed at a salon every couple of months. But I have that trimmer thing too and it works well in between.
If you get them threaded how do they know the shape you want? My eyebrows are out of control but I am afraid they will over thread and I will be left with nothing!

I cannot bring myself to use a trimmer on my face.
Honestly, you should try it! It's completely painless. And it's not like shaving at all. Buzz buzz done. I love it.
I can't get my mind passed the "it's not like shaving" part. It is so similar to shaving to me, and I find the thought of shaving my face terrifying. All those horror stories about it coming back thicker, etc.
I know it is completely irrational, especially since the small amount of hair on my face is very fine and light colored.

I am not quite sure. I was planning to look it up on YouTube. I think you pull the ends to separate the springs, put it on the part of your face where you want to remove the hair, let the springs constrict again, and then pull using a twisting motion to remove the hair.

I bought one of those springs and it's awesome, I love it. It does hurt a little but no where near as bad as I thought it would. It hurts me way less than threading, IMO. I use it on my whole face for peach fuzz and it my face is left smooth. The more I use it, the less it hurts.
I'm glad to hear this. Can you tell us how you use it?

This review on the spring cracked me up for some reason. Maybe the randomness of getting one for the neighbor?
I love this little tool. I do it once a month when watching TV. It does hurt a little, especially near the lips. I use it on my neck, all the way up to eye-level. When finished, I can't get over how smooth my face looks. Now I really notice facial hair on other women... this is so cheap and effective. Getting one for my neighbor.
