First time getting my brows done: Is a brow tint worth it?

I’ve never touched my brows before and I’m getting them done next weekend (threading, bc I heard it’s better than waxing. though one of my besties loves getting her brows waxed). I signed up to get a brow tint as well at Benefit Brow Bar in Ulta, but $49 seems kinda expensive. I also have darkish brown eyebrows, so I don’t know how effective it’ll be.

I guess my question is: is $49 for a brow tint too much?

I’ve never had my brows shaped before either (guy). What should I ask for? I’ve always liked good feminine brow shapes, but not for myself. I do want some sort of shaping though, if that makes sense.
