Threading

Threading can give you a simple and effective method of hair removal for the eyebrows and small areas of facial hair. This is a very popular treatment for hair removal as it doesn’t require the application of products to the skin, making it a great choice for all clients.

What will I learn?

The Threading course covers how to give a full threading treatment alongside the history, technique and aftercare of the treatment. During a threading treatment, individual hairs are removed completely from the hair follicle. A twisted thread catches hairs as it is rolled across the skin and removes them. This is suitable for eyebrows and small areas of hair on the face. Threading hair is an ancient method commonly practised in Egypt and India, and is becoming very popular here in the UK. The course is beautifully written and accompanied by images and video clips to give you the best possible learning experience.
