You’ve probably debated threading vs. waxing when considering hair removal methods.

Spoiler alert! We recommend waxing.

You knew that was coming. We love waxing service in New York. But there are a few solid reasons waxing is better than threading in nearly any situation.

Waxing is gentler for hair follicles.

Waxing is a quick way to remove hair follicles. It involves pulling hairs in the opposite direction as the growth. Threading uses a cotton thread to lift hairs from the root. It can be done individually or in a series. This technique is very precise and leaves no room for error. To avoid any nicks, the skin must be pulled taut enough. Unskilled technicians can cause hair loss.

Waxing takes less than a minute.

Our locations are designed to be modern, chic, and inviting. However, we understand that you may not want to spend an entire afternoon there. In any case, speed is always better when it comes to hair removal. While threading can be done quickly if you visit a professional salon for the job, waxing takes much longer.

Threading can be more painful.

It’s not easy to wax and then threads your hair. But it’s worth the effort. 

Waxing can be more versatile.

Threading is great for removing unwanted hair from the brow and other areas of the face. However, it’s not recommended for larger, more dense hair such as legs or arms. Stick with waxing.

Waxing lasts longer

Every hair is different. However, on average, waxing lasts twice as long as threading. You can also wax more efficiently.
