Frequently Asked Questions

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’s 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 facial hair removal, threading can target individual hairs to get the precise shape and smooth finish you want. You can even thread while on retinol and accutane. When you wax, you cannot.

Threading pain is comparable to tweezing or waxing. You may feel a pinching or light scraping sensation. Threading is increasingly being adopted as the preferred means of hair removal.

• • Threading does not peel off a layer of skin.
  • The hair doesn’t grow back as fast when threaded.
  • The skin is less likely to get red and irritated from threading.
  • Threading targets individual hairs.
  • Hair only needs to grow just above the skin to get threaded
  • Over time, hair becomes finer and more sparse from threading.
  • Threading will pick up the finest hairs from the surface of the skin.
  • You can thread while on retinol and accutane as well. When you wax, you cannot.

Depending on your hair type and the 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 roots, which weakens it. You can get re-threaded as soon as hair grows just above the skin, whereas with waxing the hair needs to be at least two-eighths of an inch long before it can be removed again.

No. Since hairs are being removed from the root they actually tend to grow back finer over time.

The thread must be pulled tight in order to accurately and precisely remove each hair. However, the thread that touches the esthetician’s mouth never touches your face.

Yes. However, depending on your sensitivity level, you may experience redness or minor bumps at site, but it should subside in 10-15 minutes. In rare cases, the area may remain red for an hour or two. If you tend to break out after treatment, we recommend you to wash your face with cold water. Refrain from using face products for a few hours until the area is less sensitive. If you develop a rash that does not subside, call your dermatologist. You only break out from threading if you touch your face, therefore it is best to avoid doing so. Most of the time, breakouts can happen as a result of touching the face on the top of your brows. You can even thread even if you are on retinol or accutane.

Yes! Before you begin, always consult your esthetician and let them know how you want your brows shaped and how thick or thin you’d like them.

We can always create an arch line while removing the proper hair without making the brows thin. It is possible to create an arch as long as your arch line isn’t missing. The brow always ends up looking thicker when the right hairs are removed. 

Although hair can be removed once it’s grown above the surface of the skin, we recommend waiting for about 2 weeks to give your eyebrows a chance to grow back in so your esthetician can give you the shape you want. You can come in anytime for a “clean up.”

Let your hair grow just above the skin. If you want a new or different shape to your brows, let them grow a bit but do not tweeze them so your esthetician can see their natural shape before suggesting the best shape for your face. 

Check with your doctor about the specific healing time for your procedure and inquire how long you should wait before you resume threading.
