About Threading

Are you tired of tweezing your eyebrows hair by hair, trying to get the perfect shape? Do you hate ripping off skin when you wax your upper lip? It may be time to try threading. The hottest trend in facial hair removal has actually been around for centuries. Threading is a common practice in China, the Middle East and India, and the technique is quickly gaining popularity in the Western world. According to Jagruti, the increase in interest and demand for the practice in North America is not surprising since threading is "easy and economical." The process is fast.

Threading involves pulling out a row of hairs from the follicle by twisting the hairs into a cotton thread. With using hands only, they grab the middle of the thread to form a loop. The loop traps the unwanted row of hairs and the practitioner pulls the hairs from the skin. No chemicals are used.

It may sound painful, but threading involves "a lot less pain than waxing, which often peels or burns the top layer of skin" on your brows and above your lip, says Jagruti. The sensation felt during threading is much like that of plucking with a pair of tweezers - but unlike tweezing, threading removes many hairs at once. Since the hair is pulled out from the root, the hair that does grow back is usually finer and sparse.

• Gentle -
  Most people find threading very gentle. Unlike waxing, threading only targets the individual hairs, so skin irritation is kept to a minimum. (Waxing often causes unnecessary stretching and removal of the skin's delicate top layers).
• Precise -
  Threading is extremely precise and allows our threaders to have greater control than waxing, resulting in a superior brow shape for you!
• Natural -
  Threading is 100% natural. There are no artificial waxes, chemicals, or invasive techniques used.
• Complete -
  All hair, even those short stubbly hairs and peach fuzz can be removed; avoiding that unpleasant growing-out period while giving your skin a smooth texture for makeup application!
• Recommended -
  Threading is completely safe and dermatologist-recommended for individuals who are currently using acne medications like Accutane and Retin-A. Sensitive individuals that breakout from waxing typically will not break out from threading.
• Anti-Aging -
  Waxing can tug, pull, stretch, and even remove the delicate skin on your face, facilitating the development of wrinkles! Since threading only targets the individual hairs, wrinkles, sagging and loss of elasticity are completely avoided!
• Sanitary -
  Soft cotton thread is the only thing that ever touches your skin, and a new strand of thread is used for each client. Unsanitary waxing practices such as double dipping of the wax applicator are eliminated.
• Quick -
  Threading is an incredibly fast method of removing facial hair. Complete eyebrow threading and shaping typically takes less than ten minutes. Full facial threading takes approximately twenty minutes.
• Inexpensive -
  Compared to waxing, electrolysis, and other forms of hair removal threading is a true bargain!
