Frequently Asked Questions
What is eyebrow threading?
Eyebrow threading is an ancient hair-removal technique, practiced for centuries among the most beautiful women of Asia and the Middle East. It is the best alternative to waxing and tweezing, especially for sensitive skin. Unlike waxing, threading does not remove a layer of skin, which can leave the skin on your face susceptible to sun damage. By far the least invasive method of hair removal, this method creates a graceful brow with clean, well-defined edges that frame the eye.
How does threading work?
Our brow artist takes a special cotton thread and twists it into a double strand, which is then swept along the skin. With rhythmic- almost hypnotic- movement, the unwanted hairs are secured in the thread and lifted from the follicle with precision and finesse.
Is threading painful?
Most of our customers agree that threading causes less discomfort than brow waxing. As it targets individual hair, threading keeps skin irritation to a minimum. Excessive pulling on delicate skin around the eyes is eliminated, and for those sensitive to waxing or depilatory products, there is no exposure to irritants.
How long does threading take?
A simple eyebrow threading can take just 10 to 15 minutes, where as a full face threading may take about 45 minutes.
What areas of the body can be threaded?
- Eyebrows
- Sideburns
- Neck
- Upper lip

Is threading better than waxing?
Yes, threading is known to be a superior option to tweezing, sugaring, or waxing. This eastern method of hair removal involves less discomfort and eliminates the chance of your coming in contact with wax that is too hot for tender facial skin. Hair is removed from the root so there’s less of that “grow-back factor.” This extends the time between salon visits, saving time and money.
What are the benefits of threading?
Threading’s main benefit is the manner in which the eyebrow is shaped-not just from underneath, but also from the top. One of the major drawbacks of tweezing, especially when done at home, is that it’s easy to remove the wrong hairs, creating holes or divots in the shape of the brow. Certain thicker hairs on the bottom line of the brow act as supportive “scaffolding” for the entire brow, so if you inadvertently remove the wrong hairs, the whole shape collapses. Then you are left with trying to camouflage your goof until the hairs grow back. Threading eliminates this common mishap. Some of the other benefits are :
- Waxing can tug on, pull, stretch, and can peel off a layer of skin. Such harsh treatment can facilitate the development of wrinkles. With threading, there is none of that. You’ll simply look smooth, refreshed and hair-free.
- Less messy and time consuming than waxing.
- 100% natural; no artificial waxes, chemicals or invasive techniques used.
- 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 sparser.
- Threading will pick up the finest hairs from the surface of the skin.
- 100% suitable for skin that is too sensitive for waxing or laser hair removal
- Inexpensive alternative to waxing or laser.
