Threading vs Waxing for Eyebrows: Which is Better?

Threading vs Waxing for Eyebrows: Which is Better?

When it comes to eyebrow shaping, two methods dominate: threading and waxing. Both have their loyal fans, but which one is right for you? Let's break down the differences.

Threading: The Ancient Art

Threading originated in South Asia and the Middle East thousands of years ago. It uses a twisted cotton thread to remove hair at the follicle level.

Pros of Threading:

  • Extremely precise – perfect for detailed shaping
  • No chemicals involved – ideal for sensitive skin
  • Doesn't remove skin cells – gentler than waxing
  • Quick recovery time
  • Works on very short hairs
  • Cons of Threading:

  • Can be more painful for some people
  • Requires a skilled technician
  • May cause slight redness
  • Waxing: The Modern Standard

    Waxing uses warm wax to remove multiple hairs at once, pulling them from the root.

    Pros of Waxing:

  • Faster for larger areas
  • Results last 3-6 weeks
  • Exfoliates the skin
  • Hair grows back finer over time
  • Cons of Waxing:

  • Can irritate sensitive skin
  • Not suitable if using retinol products
  • Requires hair to be a certain length
  • Our Recommendation

    At Avera Beauty, we offer both threading and waxing because we believe in giving you options. For most clients, we recommend:

  • **Threading** for precise eyebrow shaping and sensitive skin
  • **Waxing** for larger areas and those who prefer a quicker service
  • Book a consultation and our experienced therapists will help you choose the best method for your brows.
