Everything You Need to Know About Threading 

To achieve clean, precise, and beautifully shaped brows or facial hair removal by threading has become a go-to method for many. 

Loved for its precision and minimal irritation, threading has gained popularity not only among beauty professionals but also among those seeking a natural and effective alternative to waxing or tweezing. 

At Liya Eyebrow and Threading, we specialize in this ancient hair removal technique and are here to guide you through everything you need to know about facial threading.

What Is Threading?

Threading is a method of hair removal that uses a thin, twisted cotton or polyester thread to pluck unwanted hairs from the root. Originating from South Asia and the Middle East, this threading technique has been practiced for centuries and is now a popular service offered at salons worldwide.

Unlike waxing or shaving, threading does not involve the use of chemicals or heat, making it ideal for individuals with sensitive skin. At Liya Eyebrow and Threading, our trained professionals use their expertise to ensure precision, symmetry, and a comfortable experience for every client.

How Does Threading Work?

During a threading session, a skilled technician holds one end of the thread in their mouth or secured around their neck while the other end is twisted and looped through their fingers. 

By rolling the twisted thread over unwanted hairs, the technician can lift and remove hairs directly from the follicle in a quick, clean motion.

This technique allows for extremely precise hair removal, making it especially effective for shaping eyebrows. Because it can target even the tiniest and finest hairs, threading provides a clean finish that’s difficult to achieve with other methods.

Benefits of Threading

There are several reasons why clients at Liya Eyebrow and Threading choose threading over other hair removal methods. Here are some benefits of threading:

1. Precision

Threading allows for better control than waxing or tweezing, making it easier to shape eyebrows with clean, defined lines.

2. Gentle on the Skin

Threading involves no chemicals or heat, reducing the risk of burns, irritation, or allergic reactions. It’s a great option for sensitive skin or those prone to breakouts.

3. No Chemicals

This all-natural method only uses cotton thread, making it one of the most eco-friendly and skin-safe options available.

4. Longer-Lasting Results

Because threading removes hair from the root, results typically last longer than shaving or using hair removal creams, anywhere from 2 to 5 weeks, depending on hair growth.

5. Quick and Efficient

Threading sessions are usually quick, often taking only 5 to 15 minutes, depending on the area being treated.

What to Expect During Your Appointment

If you’re new to threading, you might be wondering what the process is like. Here’s a breakdown of what to expect during your visit to Liya Eyebrow and Threading in Savannah, GA:

Consultation

Your technician will begin by discussing the shape and style you want for your brows or the area you want to be threaded.

Preparation

The area is cleaned to remove any makeup, oil, or dirt. Some technicians may apply a bit of powder to help the thread grip the hair.

Threading

Using a twisted thread, the technician will quickly and precisely remove unwanted hair.

Finishing Touches

After threading, a soothing gel or aloe vera may be applied to calm the skin. Some light trimming may also be done to refine the shape.

Is Threading Painful?

Pain tolerance varies from person to person, but most clients describe threading as slightly uncomfortable rather than painful. 

The sensation feels like small pinches or tiny scratches. The good news is that the discomfort is brief and often less intense than waxing.

Our team at Liya Eyebrow and Threading is trained to work swiftly and gently, ensuring your experience is as pleasant as possible.

Aftercare Tips

To maintain smooth, irritation-free skin after threading, follow these threading aftercare tips:

  • Avoid Touching the Area: Keep your hands off the freshly threaded area to avoid bacteria transfer.
  • Skip Makeup for a Few Hours: Give your skin time to breathe and recover.
  • Apply Soothing Gel: Use aloe vera or a gentle moisturizer to reduce redness and inflammation.
  • Avoid Sun Exposure: Freshly threaded skin can be sensitive to UV rays, so avoid direct sunlight or tanning for at least 24 hours.
