To Wax or Thread?
Threading is an ancient form of hair removal that is now back on trend and offered at Mien Salon and Spa. The ever sweet spa therapist and threading expert ‘Pujan’ says that there are pros and cons for both waxing and threading. The main differece is that waxing utilises wooden spatulas to apply warm wax to the skin and then removing hair from the root with a special fabric which pulls the wax away with the hair. Threading is achieved utilizing thread coated in antibacterial wax: it’s twisted to form a mini-lasso removing the hairs efficiently down to the follicle. Both forms of hair removal last approximately the same amount of time depending on hair type.
So, what are the pros and cons?
WAXING
PROS:
By removing the hair follicle from the root, waxing allows for a quick efficient form of hair removal, with clients seeing the hair grow softer and finer over time and regular appointments.
CONS:
Those with sensitive skin may find this option too harsh, it is also not recommended for anyone undergoing chemical peels or using Retinol.
THREADING
PROS:
Have you got skin allergies? Or find that waxing irritates your skin? Threading might be the perfect solution for you to get the brows you always wanted without worrying about the aftermath! Pujan says Threading gives a cleaner result a and more defined shape to the brows by targeting all the little hairs too.
CONS:
It can be tough to ensure that skin is pulled tight through the duration of the appointment, it’s important to work with your spa therapist to ensure you have the most comfortable and rewarding experience. The pain/irritation is also quite varied from person to person. Threading can take slightly longer - it feels like elastic bands rubbing on your skin.
