What is Eyebrow Threading?

Eyebrow threading is an ancient hair removal technique that uses a twisted cotton thread to remove unwanted hair from the root. This precise method originated in India and the Middle East and has become increasingly popular worldwide for its accuracy, effectiveness, and suitability for sensitive skin. At Vanita's Beauty Studio in Harrow, our expert therapists specialize in this traditional technique to create perfectly shaped, defined eyebrows.

How Does Eyebrow Threading Work?

Eyebrow threading works by twisting a cotton thread and rolling it over the skin to catch and remove hair from the root. The thread is held between the fingers and twisted to create a loop that traps the hair. As the thread is pulled, it removes the hair cleanly and precisely, allowing for very detailed shaping.

The Process

  • A cotton thread is twisted and held between the fingers
  • The thread is rolled over the skin to catch hair
  • Hair is removed from the root with precision
  • Multiple hairs can be removed in one motion
  • Allows for very detailed and precise shaping
