Eyebrow Threading FAQs
The most common questions about threading
"Does it hurt, how long does it take, can I do it if I'm using retinols?"
1. What is eyebrow threading and how does it work?
Eyebrow threading is a hair removal technique that uses a twisted cotton thread to precisely remove hair at the follicle level, creating clean, defined brow shapes without the use of chemicals or heat.
2. Is eyebrow threading safe for sensitive skin?
Yes. Threading is considered one of the safest hair removal methods for sensitive, acne-prone, or reactive skin because it does not involve wax, heat, or chemicals.
3. Does eyebrow threading hurt?
Discomfort levels vary by individual, but most clients describe threading as quick and tolerable. Because hair is removed in a controlled motion, the sensation is brief and subsides quickly.
4. How long do eyebrow threading results last?
Results typically last between 3 to 5 weeks, depending on individual hair growth cycles and maintenance routines.
5. Can eyebrow threading cause skin irritation or breakouts?
When performed correctly with clean thread and proper technique, threading is less likely to cause irritation or breakouts compared to waxing. Minor redness may occur but usually fades within a few hours.
6. Is eyebrow threading better than waxing?
Threading offers greater precision and is suitable for all skin types, including those using retinoids, acne treatments, or receiving chemical peels. Waxing may remove layers of skin and is not recommended for everyone.
7. How long does an eyebrow threading appointment take?
A professional eyebrow threading service typically takes 10–15 minutes, making it one of the fastest brow grooming options available.
8. Who should not get eyebrow threading?
Threading is safe for most people. However, clients with open wounds, active skin infections, or severe inflammation around the brow area should wait until the skin has healed.
9. How should I care for my skin after eyebrow threading?
After threading, it’s best to exfoliating for a week, avoid heavy makeup, excessive heat, or touching the area for several hours. Using a soothing, skin-repairing product and keeping the area clean helps maintain results.
10. How often should eyebrows be threaded?
Most clients benefit from threading every 3–4 weeks to maintain shape and prevent overgrowth.
