Threading hair is an ancient method commonly practiced in Eastern countries, like Egypt and India, but is becoming very popular in the West. Threading removes the entire hair follicle, lasting around 4 weeks.

How Does it Work?

A cotton thread is pulled along unwanted hair in a twisting motion, to trap hair in a mini lasso, and lifts a line of hair right out of the follicle.

The Benefits

• It’s extremely sanitary - nothing but the thread touches the skin.
• Great for people with ‘trouble’ brows - threading has this amazing ability to be so precise with the hair it removes.
• It’s good for sensitive skin - no chemicals are applied. When people have certain conditions, or are taking medicines that conflict with waxing or sugaring, they may be able to turn to threading.
• It’s very fast - in the hands of an expert.

It’s a true art that has been passed down through the generations, and isn’t something you can easily learn in a couple of classes – especially brow shaping. Some hair growth is necessary in order for the thread to have something to wrap around. Any discomfort is similar to tweezing, but the process is much quicker. Many people say they have very little pain from threading, but it has a lot to do with the skill of the beautician.

Possible areas for treatment: Eyebrows, upper lip, chin, sides or full face.
