Pros:

  • Threading is great for extreme precision as you can remove a single hair or a row of hair with one movement.
  • Because of precision, threading is ideal when it comes to shaping brows.
  • it’s great for people with sensitive skin because there are no harsh chemicals and the thread barely touches your skin.
  • Once the hair follicle is visible, it can be removed, unlike waxing where the hair needs to be a certain length.
  • Longer lasting results because the hair is removed from the follicle completely.
  • Threading doesn’t irritate your skin and will very rarely leave marks.
  • Very quick process.

Cons:

  • Threading does not require a license. However, some threading salons hire licensed aestheticians.
  • Threading only removes facial hair.
  • Depending on the person, threading can cause discomfort.
  • Your eyes may water during the process.
