What is threading?

Threading, originating from eastern countries like India and China, is a method of hair removal that has steadily been gaining popularity in the West.

In threading, a thin cotton or polyester thread is doubled then twisted. This is then used to pluck unwanted hair at the follicle. Unlike tweezing, where single hairs are plucked one at a time, threading can get rid of short rows of hair at a time.

Threading is preferred over waxing for eyebrows since most people claim that it is gentler on the delicate areas of facial skin and also provides more precise results.

AVA LASHES AND BROWS provides threading and waxing, so you have a choice depending on your preferences.

What to expect when waxing for the first time?

Getting your eyebrows waxed for the first time can be quite overwhelming, especially with the pain-filled stories your friends have been telling you.

At AVA LASHES AND BROWS, we want to make your first-time as simple as possible by letting you know exactly what to expect. Our waxing specialists will go through each step with you during your booking, but here’s a sneak peek:

• You can expect a little discomfort, but you get used to it.
• The trimmers might come out to snip off some of the longer hairs. You can also expect tweezers for the final touches to your perfect brows.
• The skin around your brows may become a bit red and swollen, but it will go down. Just to be on the safe side, plan your waxing sessions about three days before any significant event.

Hopefully, this list has prepared you for your first eyebrow waxing. Don't worry, though; it's never as bad as it's made out to be.
