Eyebrow Threading in Exeter
Threading removes hair in a clean line using twisted cotton, which makes it the most exact way to shape a brow. Nothing is applied to the skin, so it suits people who find wax too harsh.

What threading is
A length of cotton thread is twisted and rolled across the skin, catching hairs and lifting them out from the root in a row. Because the thread follows a line rather than a patch, your therapist can take a single stray hair or redefine an entire arch with the same control.
It is a technique that rewards experience — and it is one this salon is known for. Nothing is put on the skin, which is why it is often the better option for sensitive skin or for anyone using products that make waxing unsuitable.

Your appointment
What to expect
- 01
Shape agreed first
Your therapist looks at your natural brow and bone structure and agrees the shape with you before starting.
- 02
Threading
The thread is worked across the brow line, lifting hairs out as it goes. Most people find it sharp but very quick — the sensation passes as soon as your therapist moves on.
- 03
Finish
The area is soothed and the brow is checked in the mirror from both sides before you leave.
Afterwards
Aftercare
General guidance only — your therapist will give you aftercare specific to your skin and your treatment on the day.
- Expect some pinkness for a short while — it settles quickly
- Leave make-up off the brow area for a few hours if you can
- Avoid heat treatments, saunas and sunbeds the same day
- Do not exfoliate the brow area for 24 hours
Eyebrow Threading — your questions
Does threading hurt more than waxing?
It is a different sensation rather than a worse one — sharper but shorter, and over each section very quickly. Many people who find wax uncomfortable prefer threading.
How long does hair need to be?
Less than for waxing. Threading catches short and fine hair well, which is part of why it stays so precise.
How often should I have my brows threaded?
It depends on how quickly your hair grows and how sharp you like the shape. Every few weeks keeps a defined brow looking deliberate rather than grown out.
Can threading be combined with tinting?
Yes, and it is a good pairing — shape first, then colour. Book them together so there is enough time.
