1 1. It's surprisingly speedy
Sometimes, the unexpected happens (a last minute date or networking drinks – you name it; it'll happen when you're least prepared). Instead of panicking about the fact the universe is conspiring against you, just carve out some space between those very important meetings for a quick threading session. A full facial thread takes 15 mins max, and eyebrows are only five. Plus, it's gentle on the wallet.

2 2. It lasts around a month
Don't even think about trying to re-live your DIY teenage days by shaving quickly in the shower or using hair removal cream. It might be a quick fix but it's worth investing an extra 15 minutes for more long-lasting results. Threading pulls out hair from the root, so re-growth is slow. Post-thread, you're smooth for three to six weeks, so you need not fear the close-up selfie snap.

3 3. It catches them all
There's always that one annoying little millimetre of hair your tweezers can't seem to grab, no matter how many times you try. But threading gets all the bad guys, every time. Like, well, a beauty superhero. As for pain, if you can handle heartbreak, you can handle threading. Think of it like that one you met at the bar not texting back. It sort of stings but you're over it in seconds. And ultimately, it's your gain
FAQs
How long does a full facial threading appointment take?
A full facial threading session takes a maximum of 15 minutes. If you are only having your eyebrows threaded, it takes around 5 minutes. This makes threading one of the quickest ways to remove unwanted hair when you are short on time.
How long do the results of threading last?
Threading leaves your skin smooth for between three to six weeks. This is because threading removes the hair from the root, which slows down re-growth. You can enjoy longer-lasting results compared to shaving or using hair removal creams.
Does threading remove even tiny or short hairs?
Yes, threading catches even the smallest and most stubborn hairs. Tweezers can sometimes miss short hair, but threading is precise enough to remove them all. This helps achieve a clean and smooth look after your session.
Is threading suitable when you have a last-minute event?
Threading is ideal for last-minute touch-ups before a date or important meeting. The process is quick, with eyebrows taking just five minutes and the full face 15 minutes max. It’s also gentle on your budget, making it a convenient option.
Does threading hurt and how tolerable is the pain?
Threading can sting for a few seconds, but most people find the discomfort manageable. If you can handle everyday setbacks, you can handle threading. The sensation is brief, and you’ll be over it in no time.
