Question 1

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 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

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 4

Are there any risks associated with threading?

Accepted Answer

Side effects are rare, but may include redness, infection, hyper-pigmentation, and ingrown hair. To minimise the risk of side effects, always book in with an experienced professional.

Question 5

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 6

What can I expect during a threading treatment?

Accepted Answer

During a threading treatment, your therapist will use twisted strands of thread to pluck single hairs from the root. Once threading is complete, your therapist may apply a cooling gel (like aloe vera) to the treated area to help soothe your skin.

Question 7

How long does threading last?

Accepted Answer

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