Eyebrow Threading

Are you looking to clean up your eyebrow look and feel a little bit? Have more than a few "strays" that you want cleaned up? If you're looking around asking yourself, "What's eyebrow threading?" you've come to the right place. As you can probably imagine, eyebrow threading is a technique used to remove hair with a thread. There are many benefits of eyebrow threading. The most beneficial of all is that, compared to waxing, the decreased sensitivity helps make the service much smoother. Because eyebrow threading is done with just a thread, it is the most natural form of hair removal – besides plucking of course. Eyebrow threading can be much more accurate than waxing as the artist is able to remove the hairs row by row. The artist can also select individual hairs to remove in order to sharpen your shape and provide you with the most natural, full, and shaped brows. Waxing, on the other hand, often leaves stray hairs and can lead to patchiness as the wax is not as easily controlled as a thread. Many clients switch over to threading from waxing due to sensitivities. Threading does not take off any layers of skin as opposed to waxing, which can take off up to three layers of skin. This is especially great for clients using steroid creams, acne medications, retinols, or any products that thins out the skin. Threading does not cause an allergic reaction as there are no chemicals used. Done in a professional setting, it's a safe process. Threading is said to be the best form of eyebrow hair removal because of the artist's ability to manipulate the thread and provide a perfect shape without causing any reactions. When getting the technique done, you can expect to return anywhere from two to four weeks later, depending on how fast your hair grows.
