THREADING
Threading is an ancient way to remove unwanted hair. It removes hair from the entire hair follicle, lasting up to six weeks.
How Does it Work?
A thread (often made of cotton) is pulled along unwanted hair in a twisting motion trapping hair in what can be described as a mini lasso, and uplifts it right out of the follicle.
The Pros
- It's extremely sanitary. Nothing but the thread touches the skin, and it's thrown away after use. There's no worry about double-dipping like with waxing, or other tools not being sanitized.
- Great for people with "trouble brows" Threading has this amazing ability to be so precise in getting each hair it's after. It has a cult following from those who say that other shaping methods, like tweezing, waxing or sugaring, could not make their brows look even.
- No chemicals are applied on the skin. Many have allergies and skin sensitivities, which make it a gamble anytime they put product on their skin. With a string there are no chemicals or products used, and it can prevent a lot of unnecessary irritation. (Sometimes the tech will cleanse skin or apply powder before removing hair, so please alert them of any allergies.)
- It's very fast. Although every technician is different, it takes the person who shaped my eyebrows two minutes flat, from start to finish.
