What is Threading?
Threading is a hair removal technique that has been practiced for centuries. Facial hair is removed swiftly yet meticulously from the most delicate areas of the face by knotting off thread and creating a trap that forces out hair by the root. It is the best alternative to waxing and tweezing, especially for sensitive skin.
What are the benefits of waxing vs. threading?
•Threading does not peel off a layer of skin
• Hair does not grow back as fast
• The skin doesn’t usually get red and irritated
• Threading can target individual hairs
• Hair only needs to grow just above the skin to get threaded
• Over time, hair becomes finer and more sparse
• Threading will pick up the finest hairs from the surface of the skin
What does threading feel like? Does it hurt?
Threading is comparable to tweezing or waxing. You may feel a pinching or light scraping sensation, but most customers agree that threading is no more uncomfortable than other hair removal methods.
How long does threading take?
A simple eyebrow threading can take just 5-10 minutes. The upper lip takes about 5 minutes; a full face thread takes about 20-30 minutes.
What areas of the body can be threaded?
• Eyebrows
• Sideburns
• Lip
• Chin
• Fingers/hands
How long does threading last?
Depending on your hair type and area of the face, full re-growth can be anywhere from 2 to 8 weeks. Hair will start to grow back sparse and finer after repeated threading because hair is pulled out at the root, which weakened it. You can get re-threaded as soon hair grows just above the skin, whereas with waxing the hair needs to be at least 2/8” long before it can be removed again.
If I get my full face threaded, will the hair grow back darker?
No. Since hair is being removed from the root they actually tend to grow back finer over time.
