Waxing vs Threading

What’s the difference between waxing and threading?

A wax treatment removes hair with the use of hot wax and paper strips. The wax is applied to the skin requiring hair removal and the paper is placed on top of the wax. The paper is then stripped off in a quick, smooth action, taking any unwanted hair with it.

A threading treatment removes hair with each pass of thread. Our experts use the thread to twist and roll over unwanted hair at the follicle level. Unlike waxing, threading removes hair little by little.

Which is more painful waxing or threading?

A wax has a similar sensation of pulling off a bandaid whereas threading feels similar to tweezers.
