Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Side Threading.

Side Threading uses a twisted cotton thread to trap and pull hairs from the root along the cheeks and sideburns. It's highly precise, quick, and ideal for removing fine facial hair while refining the side profile.

Some clients feel brief, light discomfort during threading, but it is generally tolerable. Pain is short-lived and technicians adjust technique for sensitive skin; we offer calming skincare and patch tests when needed.

Results typically last three to six weeks, depending on individual hair growth cycles and lifestyle or hormonal factors. Regular maintenance every four to six weeks keeps the area tidy and prevents noticeable regrowth.

Yes. Side Threading can be combined with brow threading, facials, or light skin treatments if your skin isn’t irritated. Your therapist will advise safe sequencing to avoid overworking delicate areas.

Avoid heavy makeup, exfoliation, saunas, and direct sun exposure for 24 hours. Use a cold compress or aloe vera to soothe the skin, apply SPF before going outdoors, and avoid harsh skincare products for at least 48 hours.
