Threading

Threading involves a piece of thread that is twisted and pulled along areas of unwanted hair by lifting the hair follicle directly from the root. The technique allows you to pull one hair or multiple hairs at a time from the root without the use of harsh chemicals. Unlike wax, threading is able to pinpoint and target the tiniest of hairs, so you can say goodbye to unwanted peach fuzz or hard to reach fine spots around the eyes. The ability to tug on those micro hairs makes it even more thorough than plucking with regular tweezers.

Threading can be done on any part of your face. The most common hair that’s threaded is the eyebrows but you can also thread your chin, upper lip, forehead, neck, middle brow, and the sides of your face.

It’s been found to be less painful than waxing, but that doesn’t mean you aren’t going to feel anything. With waxing, pain usually stems from the tugging, pulling, and stretching of the skin. Threading differs as it targets the hair follicle and leaves the skin in place, the pain is similar to tweezing. When the thread grazes the skin, it’s a light rubbing but nothing extremely painful. Different parts of the body have different sensitivity, so areas with more delicate skin like the sides of the face, or above the lip might feel more painful.

The complete eyebrow process shouldn’t take more than 15 minutes, but can differ for other parts of the body.

Hair regrowth can vary from person to person but we recommend between every two to five weeks. Since threading removes hair from the root like waxing, it lasts just as long.
