Brows are our craft
Brows, since 2008
Threading lifts each hair from the root for crisp, defined lines that waxing can't match. Drashti has been shaping brows since 2008, so she reads the arch from your bone structure rather than from a trend.
Gentle on sensitive skin
Only cotton thread touches your skin, no wax, heat or chemicals. Ideal for sensitive skin and clients using retinoids.
In and out in 15 minutes
Book online, walk in at your time, walk out with perfect brows. SMS confirmation and a reminder before your visit.
Why a piece of cotton beats hot wax
A length of cotton thread is twisted into a loop and rolled across the skin. As the twist travels it catches a whole row of hairs at once and lifts each one out of the follicle, root and all, in a single clean line.
That "whole row at once" is what makes threading the technique of choice for brows. Wax removes whatever it covers. Thread removes exactly the row it's rolled over, which means the shaper decides where the line falls rather than the shape of a wax strip deciding for them.
The second difference matters more than most people realise: nothing but cotton ever touches your skin. No heat, no resin, no product, nothing adhesive. Wax grips the top layer of skin as well as the hair, which is why it can lift or graze delicate facial skin, and why most salons will refuse to wax your face if you use a retinoid.
Getting the shape right
Good brows follow the bones of your face rather than a trend. Three points do most of the work: where the brow starts, where it peaks, and where it ends. Get those in the right place for your face and almost any thickness looks intentional.
- Coming in for a reshape? Let it grow for two to three weeks first. We can take hair away; we can't put it back on the day.
- Bring a photo if you have a shape in mind. It's far quicker than describing it, and it avoids the "a bit thinner" that turns out to mean two different things.
- Growing them out? Say so. We'll clean up the strays and leave the line alone rather than defaulting to a full shape.
- Not sure? Ask us to map them first. It takes a minute and you'll see the plan before anything is removed.

On retinol, tretinoin or acids?
Tell us, but don't cancel. This is exactly the situation threading exists for. There's no adhesive lifting at skin that's already thinned by an active, so facial threading is usually fine when facial waxing isn't. We'll still check the area before we start.
Fifteen minutes, and what's in them
What you're after
Thinner, fuller, tidied, or completely reshaped, and anything we should know, like a retinoid, a recent peel, or that you're growing them out.
Mapping
Where the brow should start, arch and finish for your face. Ask to see it before we start if you'd rather agree the plan than trust the process.
Threading
Row by row, holding the skin taut. Watering eyes and the odd sneeze on an upper lip are completely normal. It's a nerve reflex, not a sign anything's wrong.
Check and even up
You sit up and look in the mirror before we call it done. Say if you want more off. It's much easier now than in a fortnight.
Soothe
A touch of aloe to settle the skin. Pinkness for twenty minutes or so is normal and fades on the drive home.
Getting the best from your appointment
Threading is low maintenance, but the first few hours are worth getting right.
Before you come in
- Let it grow two to three weeks if you're reshaping, 2–3mm is plenty for the thread to grip.
- Don't pluck or trim in the week beforehand; it makes the line harder to read.
- Come with a clean face if you can. Heavy brow makeup has to come off first.
- Mention retinol, tretinoin, acids or a recent peel.
- Bring a photo if you have a shape in mind.
For the rest of the day
- Leave makeup off the area for a few hours, the follicles are briefly open.
- Skip sauna, steam, swimming and direct sun for the day.
- Don't touch or rub, however tempting.
- A cold compress or plain aloe settles any lingering pinkness.
- Book your next one three to four weeks out to keep the shape rather than rebuilding it.
Threading questions, answered
How much does eyebrow threading cost?
Eyebrow threading is $10. Upper lip is $4, forehead $7, chin $8, and a full face threading (brows, lip, chin, forehead and sides) is $25.
Does threading hurt?
There's a brief prickling sensation as each row lifts, sharpest on the first visit and strongest on the upper lip. It's over in seconds and it fades noticeably after a couple of appointments as the regrowth comes back finer.
Watering eyes and a sneeze or two are completely normal. That's a nerve reflex, not a sign anything's wrong.
How long does threading last?
Because the hair is removed from the root, results typically last 3–5 weeks depending on your hair growth. Regulars book every 3–4 weeks to keep their shape rather than rebuild it.
How long does my hair need to be?
About 2–3mm, which is less than waxing needs, roughly a fortnight of growth. If you're changing the shape rather than maintaining it, leave it two to three weeks so there's something to work with.
Please don't pluck in the week before your appointment; gaps make the line much harder to read.
Is threading better than waxing?
For facial hair, yes. It's more precise and gentler. Thread catches one row at a time so the shaper decides exactly where the line falls, and nothing but cotton touches your skin, so there's no adhesive lifting at delicate facial skin.
For arms, legs and body, waxing is the better tool. It covers area quickly, which is precisely what threading doesn't do.
Can I have threading if I use retinol or have sensitive skin?
Usually yes, and this is exactly the situation threading suits. There's no wax gripping the top layer of skin, so facial threading is often fine when facial waxing isn't advised.
Tell us what you're using anyway, retinol, tretinoin, acids, or a recent peel, and we'll check the area before starting.
How often should I get my brows threaded?
Every three to four weeks for most people. Leaving it longer isn't harmful, but past about five weeks you're rebuilding the shape rather than maintaining it, which takes longer and gives you less control over the result.
What if I want to change my brow shape?
Let them grow for two to three weeks first, then bring a photo. We can take hair away on the day but we can't put it back, so a reshape works far better with something to shape.
Ask us to map them before we start. You'll see where the start, arch and tail will sit before anything is removed.
Will threading make my hair grow back thicker?
No, the opposite, if anything. Removing hair from the root repeatedly tends to weaken the follicle over time, so regrowth generally comes back finer and sparser. Shaving is what creates the illusion of thicker hair, because it cuts across the shaft and leaves a blunt tip.
Can I wear makeup afterwards?
Best to leave the area bare for a few hours. The follicles are briefly open, and makeup is what tends to cause the small bumps people occasionally get afterwards. Skip sauna, steam, swimming and direct sun for the rest of the day too.
Should I thread, wax or bleach my facial hair?
Thread it if it's a defined line, brows, upper lip, chin. Wax it if it's a larger or coarser patch. Bleach it if it's soft fuzz spread across a broad area like the cheeks, where removal would leave texture across a large surface.
Plenty of people do two of the three in the same visit.
Do I need an appointment?
Walk-ins are welcome when we have a free chair, and threading is short enough that we often do. Booking online guarantees your spot. It takes under a minute and you'll get an instant SMS confirmation.
Is eyebrow shaping the same as threading?
Eyebrow shaping is the result. Threading is how we get there. Shaping means deciding where your brow should start, where it should arch and where it should end, then taking away everything outside that line.
We do it with cotton thread rather than wax or tweezers, which is what keeps the edge clean and leaves the skin itself alone. Eyebrow shaping by threading is $10 and takes about 15 minutes.
