Facial Threading in Porirua
Threading uses a twisted cotton thread to lift out hairs in rows, from the root. No wax touches your skin, and it can take out hairs too short for wax to grip. We thread brows, upper lip, chin, the sides of the face, or the full face.

IS THIS FOR ME?
Care, shaped around you.
Anyone who wants clean, defined brows, or wants fine hair removed from the lip, chin or face. If waxing isn't an option for you because of skincare you use, ask us whether threading suits.
YOUR VISIT
Your visit, step by step.
Before your appointment
Come with a clean face and no makeup on the area. If you have a breakout, cold sore or broken skin where you want threading, rebook for when it has cleared.
During the treatment
We hold the skin taut and run the thread along each area. It stings a little, and your eyes may water during brow work.
Afterwards
Some redness is normal and usually settles within an hour or so. Brows usually need tidying again after three to four weeks.

A little care, afterwards.
- Avoid makeup on the threaded area for 12 hours if you can.

- Don't touch or pick at the area while it settles.
BEFORE YOU BOOK
Who this isn’t suitable for
Tell us about any of the following when you book and we will adjust the treatment or recommend something better suited. If you are unsure, ask — that is what the complimentary consultation is for.
- A cold sore, breakout, rash or broken skin on the area.
- Sunburn on the area.
- Isotretinoin (Roaccutane) in the last six months, or a peel, laser or IPL on the area in the last two weeks. Tell us so we can check threading is suitable.
- Moles or skin tags in the area. We thread around them, not over them.
QUESTIONS
A few things you might ask.
Something else on your mind? Contact the team.
What's the difference between threading and waxing?
Threading removes hair with cotton thread, so only the thread touches your skin. Waxing covers a larger area at once with warm wax. Threading can pick out shorter or finer hairs, and waxing is quicker over large areas like legs.
How long does it last?
Usually three to four weeks for brows, depending on how fast your hair grows.
Does it hurt?
It stings briefly, a bit like tweezing but faster.
How short can the hair be?
Much shorter than for waxing. Threading can catch shorter hairs than wax can grip.
