Threading is a method of hair removal that has been practised for centuries.

It is known as a great way to shape brows to a precise finish and as a quick and effective way to remove peach fuzz.

Cotton thread is twisted over the skin to pluck the hair.

It’s a proven alternative to waxing and plucking as it does not pull the skin, it removes the shortest of hairs, and it doesn’t use any chemicals.

Threading gives your face a smooth finish for up to six weeks.
