Threading FAQs
Yes. It’s fast and, unlike waxing, it doesn’t tug on your skin; however threading does pluck hair out from the root, so it will hurt. Rest assured, though: the pain is quick and bearable.
Threading is a hair removal technique that’s mostly used to remove unwanted eyebrow hair. It is chemical free and sees your therapist use twisted strands of thread to pluck single hairs from the root.
Between 2 to 4 weeks, depending on your natural hair growth rate.
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.
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.
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.
It depends on your hair’s regrowth rate: most people get their legs done every 4 weeks, and their eyebrows done every 2-4 weeks.

Threading is the quick, precise way to get your eyebrows under control and looking their best. It's an ancient skill used to perfection on today's highly defined brows.
A thin cotton thread is twisted and then rolled over areas of unwanted hair, removing each hair at follicle level. Facial threading is similar to tweezing, except it removes short rows of hair at the same time, so it's a lot quicker. It can also keep upper lips fuzz-free. Sessions are speedy and results last 2 to 4 weeks. You can find threading hair removal in Sainte-Foy-lès-Lyon on Fresha starting from €10.
