History of Threading Brows
The origins of threading came to us from the eastern cultures and is believed to have started in Turkey or possibly India .

Advantages of Threading
- The treatment is kinder to the skin than waxing as no heat or chemicals are applied. Most waxes are used warm, but can be heated up too much and burn the skin resulting in extreme pain and scabby skin.
- The thread is also able to pick up very fine hairs that you might miss with tweezers.
- Delicate skin. The skin around the eyes is thin, and can get easily irritated from waxing even if it doesn't bother other body zones.
- Threading eyebrows is a true life saver for hair removal in the eye area; Threading just pulls the hair, unlike waxing which pulls the skin, over time waxing causes the skin to loosen and develop premature wrinkles; Threading lifts the hair from the follicle, therefore if it is done on a regular basis, it weakens the hair follicle so hair growth becomes less dense over time, and new hair will grow finer and sparser.
