Eyebrow Threading is an ancient Middle Eastern technique that removes hair. This technique is considered as epilating technique to remove the hair. In this technique root takes longer to grow back because it removes hair by the follicle and a new root must grow before the hair can re-emerge. Specialty of this technique is to create the arch of the eyebrow, to get rid of unibrows, recreate, add shape and definition to the eyebrows. Threading is not only for eyebrows but also can be used to remove other unwanted facial and body hair. Once shape is created only touch up and cleaning the extra hair is needed after three to four weeks depending upon how fast each individuals hair growth.
The way the threaders hold and maneuver the thread is how the hairs are pulled directly from the root. A small knot is created within a string cotton thread (regular sewing thread). With the thread wound between the threadres’s fingers and her thumbs pressing down on the thread on either side of the knot, the thread is then pressed against the base of the hair. It pulls the hairs from their roots, and a beautiful eyebrow shape is created.

What is eyebrow threading?
The way the threaders hold and maneuver the thread is how the hairs are pulled directly from the root. A small knot is created within a string cotton thread (regular sewing thread). With the thread wound between the threadress fingers and her thumbs pressing down on the thread on either side of the knot, the thread is then pressed against the base of the hair. It pulls the hairs from their roots, and a beautiful eyebrow shape is created.
Who can use it?
Eyebrow Threading can be used on all different skin types, especially those who a have sensitive skin, wrinkles and cannot wax. Unlike waxing, threading prevents hair grown back quickly, also since the only thing used is thread the skin will not burn. Waxing can also be harmful to the skin, because it may remove a layer of skin cause breakouts, and rashes. Treading is a natural, safe, and painless form of hair removal. Threading has also been said to not cause wrinkles, as waxing may cause them.
For women we offer: full face, eyebrows, lip, chin, and side burns.
For men we only offer eyebrows (due to the thickness of their hairs). Nobody likes to have unibrows and this is main concern for most of the men. Eyebrow threading can be performed just to remove the unibrows and clean the unwanted hair. We clean the unwanted hair on mens eyebrow, trim them and make it more natural without making it feminine.
Does it hurt
It truly depends on the person, as we all react to things differently. The majority say it is not painful, and if anything feels like tweezing. If you are accustomed to getting your eyebrows done (waxing or tweezing), it should not hurt.Benefits Eyebrow threading is for all skin types, which waxing is not. Since with the thread, the threader knows which hairs she wants to remove it results in a clean, nicely shaped eyebrow, opposed to waxing that removes all the hairs in one motion, and can destroy an eyebrow shape. It is also not expensive because it does not include any expensive chemical and products. It is very quick and neat process.
