Threading
Threading is a natural, fast, and precise technique for removing unwanted facial hair. A cotton thread is twisted and maneuvered over the skin to pull out a single or a group of hair follicles with high precision, leaving behind a beautiful smooth and soft skin.

Threading is fast, relatively inexpensive, and effective for facial hair removal
While we do offer other hair removal technologies such as laser hair removal, electrolysis, and waxing, our patients often choose threading because it is
- suitable and the most accurate technique for eyebrow shaping
- fast (5-10 minutes)
- relatively inexpensive
- an option for people who suffer from acne and are treated with Retin A.or accutane
- less abrasive and less painful than waxing
Shilpa is the BEST!!!!! I have been going to her for about 3years. She is very professional and fast. You will NOT be disappointed when she is done.
Thank you for this wonderful endorsement. I agree fully and I am so excited that Shilpa joined our team.
I have been going to Shilpa for a little under two years. She is the only person I will go to for threading. My eyebrows always have a great shape once she works her magic!
My question is about wanting to remove the peach fuzz which I think is on the heavy side. I want to know if the threading removal would cause hair to grow back thicker or could it eventually not grow back after a certain age or # of treatments? My age is 60.
Threading does not grow hair thicker and neither does any other method of hair removal. Cutting hair blunts the hair by removing its fine tip making the diameter appear thicker. With threading, you never create a blunt cut look.
