What is Threading?
Threading has now just become a popular method for eyebrows. Eyebrow threading is an ancient technique that has been practiced for many years with Middle Eastern women. This method involves taking a cotton thread and with a swift like movement pulling all the hairs with the thread. This method is a natural alternative as it uses no chemicals and considered to be a fluid process.

Great for sensitive skin because sometimes with waxing your skin can become irritated.
Threading last longer than waxing. Typically hair does not grow back till 3 or 4 weeks.
This method provides a more precise and defined eyebrow.
Cons of Eyebrow Threading
1. It is a little pricier than waxing. Waxing typically cost $8 but threading normally $12.
