threading

What is it?
It's fast, less painful, and gets the really small hair. Threading has been used to remove unwanted facial hair since ancient times. Now popular with Hollywood celebrities, it's an ancient method also commonly used in India, Pakistan and the Middle East. When properly done, it can be used to shape the eyebrows with a clean defining edge. It can also be used to remove hair from the upper and lower lip as well as other areas of the face.

What is the method?
The procedure utilizes a length of thread, which is twisted back and forth along the hairs, which are to be removed. The twisting action of the thread traps the hair and lifts it out of the follicle. This method of hair removal is more effective and less painful than waxing or tweezing.

How long before the hair returns?
Anywhere between 3 - 8 weeks.

What are the benefits?

  • The Powder Lounge brow-grooming service, using this specialised technique of threading, is faster, less painful, kinder to the skin and more precise than normal methods that are used in other salons e.g. waxing or tweezing.  This makes threading ideal for the delicate skin on the face, reducing pulling and dragging of the skin (unlike waxing) and therefore preventing wrinkles, irritation, sagging and long term damage to the delicate facial skin.
  • Hair re-growth is slower, becomes finer and much more sparse after regular treatments. With this unique method, hair is removed by the roots, in a manner similar to waxing, but in contrast, threading is a technique that is much more gentle, faster and kinder to the skin, giving a cleaner, more beautiful and defined finish.
  • This specialised method of hair removal is kinder to the skin - The effects on the skin are less than with other hair removal methods such as waxing or tweezing. Unlike waxing, irritation and skin rashes are avoided, because the top layer of dead skin is not stripped off or traumatized in the process of hair removal by threading.
  • The result is a safe, simple, rapid, and highly effective method of hair removal.
  • Because there is minimal chance of skin irritation (compared to waxing), threading is very well suited for the sensitive facial skin, eyebrow area and upper lip.
  • The skilled technique of Threading used at The Powder Lounge is an excellent option for those clients who cannot wax - such as those with delicate skin, prone to sun-sensitivity e.g. those who have had skin peels, undergone micro-dermabrasion or are using Retin-A, Accutane, Roaccutane, Renova, etc.
