Well-shaped eyebrows frame your face and completely change the way you look. When it comes to achieving them, threading and waxing are the two most popular methods. Here is everything you need to know to choose the right one for you.
Threading or waxing: key differences
-
Precision and definition
Threading removes hair one line at a time using a twisted cotton thread, giving you a crisp, defined shape. It is perfect for eyebrows because it lets the artist follow the natural arch with complete accuracy.
-
Gentler on skin
Threading only touches the hair, not the surrounding skin, so it is far gentler than waxing. There is no pulling on the delicate skin around your eyes, which makes it a good choice for sensitive skin.
-
Cost and upkeep
Threading is usually quicker to maintain and often more affordable for regular upkeep. Waxing can also be economical, but results may vary if the skin is stretched or pulled while waxing.
“Threading is the artist's brush for eyebrows — precise, clean and kind to your skin. That is why our brow specialists prefer it for defining the perfect arch.”

Which one should you choose?
-
Choose threading if
You want a precise arch, have sensitive skin, or use active skincare ingredients such as retinoids. Threading avoids the irritation that waxing can leave behind.
-
Choose waxing if
You want quick removal of all eyebrow hairs at once for a fuller, soft look, and your skin is not sensitive to wax. A good wax and strip can give smooth results in seconds.
