Frequently Asked Questions

Does threading hurt?
You may feel brief pinching or tingling as hairs are removed. Most guests find it milder than waxing. Any redness typically settles within an hour.
Can I choose lip or chin only?
Yes. This service covers either the upper lip or the chin. If you want both areas, add a second booking so we allow enough time.
Is threading safe for sensitive skin?
Threading targets the hair rather than the skin, so it is often well tolerated. We avoid chemicals and use soothing gel to calm any redness. Please tell us about any skin sensitivities.
How long do results last?
Most guests stay smooth for two to four weeks, depending on growth. With regular appointments, regrowth can appear finer over time.
What should I do before my visit?
Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin. Avoid retinoids, exfoliants, and sun exposure for 24–48 hours beforehand to reduce sensitivity.
