Preparing For Your Eyebrow Threading Appointment

Eyebrow Threading

Posted by Jennifer Ngo at March 5th, 2024

Are you preparing for your first eyebrow threading appointment? Here's what you need to know to ensure a comfortable experience with results you’ll love.  Before your appointment, allow your eyebrow hair to grow for at least two to four weeks; this ensures enough hair for the thread to grip and pull effectively, resulting in well-defined and beautifully shaped eyebrows.  Don’t risk working with non-professionals! Choose a reputable eyebrow threading salon to ensure you're in the hands of an experienced professional. Look for recommendations from friends or read online reviews to find a skilled technician who can deliver the results you desire.

Preparing For Your Eyebrow Threading Appointment

• Exfoliate Your Skin: The day before your appointment, gently exfoliate the skin around your eyebrows to remove dead skin cells and unclog pores; this helps the threading process grip the hairs better, resulting in cleaner and more precise hair removal. 

• On the day of your appointment, thoroughly cleanse your face to remove any makeup, oils, and debris, particularly in the eyebrow area. 

• Avoid Eye Creams and Serums: Before your appointment, refrain from using eye creams, serums, or heavy moisturizers on your eyebrows, as these can create a barrier between the hair and the thread, making the process less effective.

• Whether you have a specific shape in mind or want to maintain your current style, make your preferences known before the threading process begins. 

• Consider Numbing Cream: If you're concerned about discomfort during threading, ask about using a small amount of numbing cream on your eyebrows before your appointment to reduce sensitivity in the area. After your appointment, avoid direct sun exposure on your eyebrows for at least a day to prevent further irritation to the skin.
