Threading salons and stylists across the UK

What to expect from a threading appointment

Threading lifts unwanted facial hair using a doubled cotton thread, working in fine lines along the brow, the upper lip, the chin or the full face. The technique is gentler on sensitive skin than wax and leaves cleaner lines on the brows. A full face takes around twenty-five to thirty minutes; the upper lip or chin alone takes five to ten. Most regulars rebook every two to three weeks as growth returns. See threading specialists in the UK below, with prices for upper lip, chin, brows and full face.

Frequently asked questions

Which areas of the face can be threaded?

Threading is used on the brows, upper lip, chin, jawline, sideburns and full face. The technique works on fine vellus hair as well as coarser growth, and is gentler on sensitive skin than wax.

How long does a full-face threading take?

A full face takes around twenty-five to thirty minutes. Single areas (upper lip, chin) take five to ten. Brows take about fifteen.

How often should I have facial threading?

Every two to three weeks as growth returns. Sticking to a regular cycle weakens the regrowth slightly over time, which most clients prefer.

How much does facial threading cost in the UK?

A full-face thread typically runs eighteen to thirty pounds. Individual areas: brows eight to fifteen, upper lip five to ten, chin five to ten. Many salons offer a bundle for the full set at a small saving.

Is threading better than depilatory cream for facial hair?

Threading removes hair at the root, with finer regrowth over time. Cream dissolves hair at the surface, with same-coarse regrowth quickly. Cream is faster at home but less satisfying long-term. Threading is the cleaner finish for facial work.
