Question 1

How is threading different from other hair removal methods?

Accepted Answer

Unlike other hair removal methods, threading uses a single twisted strand of cotton to remove unwanted hair. Both threading and tweezing are chemical-free and work by targeting single hairs, but waxing and epilating can remove multiple hairs in one go. Threading, waxing, tweezing, and epilating all remove hair from the root, but it will regrow in 2-4 weeks. Laser hair removal is the only permanent hair removal method.

Question 2

Can I thread my own eyebrows at home?

Accepted Answer

You can, but it takes practice to get it right, increases your risk of side effects, and could see you catch your own skin in the thread.

Question 3

How often should you get threading done?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your hair’s regrowth rate: most people get their legs done every 4 weeks, and their eyebrows done every 2-4 weeks.

Question 4

How long does threading last?

Accepted Answer

Between 2 to 4 weeks, depending on your natural hair growth rate.

Question 5

Is threading better than waxing?

Accepted Answer

It’s not for us to say, but many therapists prefer it because it allows them to be precise without damaging the skin. It also means there’s no danger of double-dipping wax between clients, and it can remove shorter hairs that wax can’t fully grip on to, meaning your eyebrows will stay beautifully shaped for longer.

Question 6

Can threading be done on any part of your body?

Accepted Answer

No. Threading only works on flat areas, which rules bikini lines and knees out.

Question 7

Is threading painful?

Accepted Answer

Yes. It’s fast and, unlike waxing, it doesn’t tug on your skin; however threading does pluck hair out from the root, so it will hurt. Rest assured, though: the pain is quick and bearable.
