The Art of Precision: Discover the Magic of Threading at The Arch

When it comes to achieving perfectly sculpted eyebrows and flawlessly smooth facial skin, an ancient technique has stood the test of time: threading. Hailing from South Asia and the Middle East, threading offers unparalleled precision and a gentle approach to hair removal. Here at The Arch, we celebrate this meticulous art, providing you with beautifully defined results.

What is Threading and Why is it So Special?
Unlike waxing or tweezing, threading uses a thin, twisted cotton thread to roll over unwanted hair, plucking it out from the follicle. The esthetician holds one end of the thread in their mouth or wraps it around their neck, and the other end is held in their hands, creating a loop that precisely grabs and removes hairs.

Here’s why threading has become a beloved choice, especially for facial hair:
Exceptional Precision: Threading allows for the removal of even the finest, shortest hairs, making it ideal for shaping eyebrows with incredible detail and achieving crisp, clean lines.
Gentle on the Skin: Because the thread only touches the hair and not the skin, it’s a fantastic option for those with sensitive skin, allergies to wax, or who use retinoids or other exfoliating treatments. There’s no pulling or tugging on the delicate facial skin.
No Chemicals Involved: Threading is a 100% natural hair removal method, using only a cotton thread. This means no artificial fragrances, resins, or chemicals come into contact with your skin.
Less Ingrown Hairs: By pulling hair directly from the root without disturbing the skin’s surface, threading significantly reduces the likelihood of ingrown hairs compared to other methods.
Finer Regrowth: With regular threading, hair often grows back sparser and finer over time, similar to waxing

Your Threading Experience at The Arch: What to Expect
Curious about your first threading appointment? Our skilled estheticians at The Arch are experts in this delicate technique, ensuring a comfortable and beautiful outcome.

Before Your Appointment:
Clean Skin: Arrive with clean skin, free of heavy makeup, lotions, or oils in the area to be threaded.
Let it Grow (A Little): For best results, allow your hair to grow out slightly (about 2-3 weeks, or roughly 1/16th of an inch). This gives the thread enough to grip.

During Your Appointment:
You’ll be seated comfortably. For eyebrow threading, your esthetician might ask you to hold your skin taut in certain areas to ensure a smooth surface for the thread.
The esthetician will discuss your desired shape and then, with swift and expert movements, use the twisted thread to precisely remove unwanted hairs.
You might feel a mild plucking sensation, often described as a series of tiny pinpricks. While there’s a momentary discomfort, most clients find it very tolerable, especially for the incredible results.
After the threading is complete, a soothing gel or lotion will be applied to calm your skin.

Aftercare for Lasting Smoothness and Definition
Just like any hair removal method, a little aftercare goes a long way to maintain your threading results.

Avoid Touching: Try not to touch the freshly threaded area for the rest of the day to prevent bacteria from entering open pores.
Keep it Cool & Clean: For the first 24 hours, avoid heavy makeup, saunas, hot showers, or intense exercise that could irritate the skin.
Soothe: If your skin feels a little sensitive, apply a cool compress or a soothing, non-comedogenic gel (like aloe vera).
Sun Protection: Always protect freshly threaded areas with sunscreen if exposed to the sun.
Maintain Your Schedule: To keep your brows perfectly shaped and facial hair at bay, schedule regular threading appointments every 2-4 weeks.
