Threading is ancient method of hair removal with origins in Arabia and South Asia. This delicate procedure is suitable for even the most sensitive areas of skin, such as the face and around the eyes and lip.

The procedure of threading involves the gentle and precise twisting of a length of cotton thread along the hairs which are to be removed. The twisting action of the thread traps the hair and lifts it out of the follicle leaving the skin smooth.

Threading is more effective and less painful than tweezing and the top layers of skin are not peeled in the process. Threading is especially suitable for women with thicker facial hair.

It is suitable for any hair removal on the face, above the lip, eyebrows, chin and sides of the face.
