Although it is a relatively new hair removal technique to the western world, hair threading has been used for centuries in the East as a safe and effective natural hair removal method. Though the exact origins are hard to trace back, this technique has been commonly been accepted to start in the Middle East and move into the South Asian sub-continent, and has been used as far as China.

Threading uses 100% cotton thread. The cotton thread is twisted then rolled along the skin surface entwining the hairs on the thread, which lifts the hair from its follicle. Because it is so area specific, a more precise, sharper shape is achieved as only the hairs needed are removed. 

What are the benefits?

• Threading is all natural; there are no chemicals or artificial chemicals involved.
• Individual hair removal gives you the most accurate eyebrow shape with cleaner, straighter lines.
• Because you are removing hair from the follicles, the results are longer lasting then other methods. 
• Threading is less painful than waxing. It only targets the individual hair, therefore it keeps irritation to a minimum and unlike waxing which removes the delicate top layers of the skin, threading only takes the hair out.
• No Rashes or Discoloration of Skin-There is no contact with the skin causing beautiful result of fresh looking skin without the risk of rashes and acne breakouts.
• Better for Sensitive Skin- The chemicals present in wax can irritate the sensitive, thin skin around the eyes. Over time, waxing can result in skin loosening and the appearance of wrinkles or sagging skin.
• Threading is safe for those who have sensitive skin and have severe reactions to waxing. It is safe and recommended by dermatologists for those who use medications such as Retin-A, Acutane, etc.

Waxing is a form of semi-permanent hair removal which removes the hair from the root. New hair will not grow back in the previously waxed area for four to six weeks, although some people will start to see regrowth in only a week due to some of their hair being on a different growth cycle. Almost any area of the body can be waxed, including Eyebrows, Face, Legs, Arms, Back, Abdomen, Feet, and Bikini waxing. 

What are the benefits?

• It is an effective method to remove large amounts of hair at one time.

• It is a long-lasting method. Hair in waxed areas will not grow back for two to eight weeks. When hair is shaved or removed by depilatory cream, the hair is removed at the surface rather than the root. Within a few days, the hair can be seen at the surface. With these methods, hair tends to grow back in a rough stubble. Areas that are repeatedly waxed over long periods of time often exhibit regrowth that is softer.

Types of Wax 

• Strip waxing (soft wax) is accomplished by spreading a wax thinly over the skin. A cloth or paper strip is applied and pressed firmly, adhering the strip to the wax and the wax to the skin. The strip is then quickly ripped against the direction of hair growth, as parallel as possible to the skin to avoid trauma to the skin this removes the wax along with the hair.

• Strip-less wax (as opposed to strip wax), also referred to as hard wax, is applied somewhat thickly and with no cloth or paper strips. The wax then hardens when it cools, thus allowing the easy removal by a therapist without the aid of cloths. This waxing method is very beneficial to people who have sensitive skin. Strip-less wax does not adhere to the skin as much as strip wax does, thus making it a good option for sensitive skin as finer hairs are more easily removed because the hard wax encapsulates the hair as it hardens. The strip-less waxing method can also be less painful.
