Originating in Asia, threading is a traditional technique used to shape and remove hair from the eyebrow area. Threading enables a more delicate approach than waxing as no chemicals or heat are applied, therefore leaving brows smoother and regrowth finer.
Threading has seen a rapid rise in popularity over the past few years, making it the preferred choice for those looking for the perfect brow – celebrities included! Although threading has been used in the Eastern world for centuries, it wasn’t until the 20th century that it began to gain popularity in the Western world. Clients love it because of its precision — the thread is able to get very close to the skin and create a specific shape.

Waxing is a favourite option for those looking for semi permanent hair removal. Hair is removed at the root by applying a thin wax combination to the skin and a cloth or paper strip pressed to the top and removed quickly against the direction of hair growth. This ensures wax is removed at the same time as the hair.
Most parts of the body can be waxed, including legs, arms, eyebrows, face, bikini area, back, abdomen and feet. It’ll take between two and eight weeks for new hair to grow back and if waxing is done regularly for several years, it’s possible to achieve permanent hair reduction.
The main difference between the two is that strip wax involves using disposable strips to remove the hair, where as with hot wax the wax is left to harden and then directly taken off.
The benefits of hot wax include less ingrown hairs, less breakage and longer regrowth periods and also lessens the chance of skin reddening, It can also be reapplied a few times without causing discomfort.
This should theoretically be less painful. It also has a stronger grip on the hairs, which makes it ideal for thicker more stubborn hair.
