Both remove hair from the root, but they suit different areas and skin. Threading starts from AED 39 and takes 15 to 30 minutes; waxing starts from AED 35.
| Threading | Waxing | |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Brows, upper lip, chin, fine facial hair | Larger areas, legs, arms, underarms |
| Precision | Very high, shapes brow lines cleanly | Good, less detailed |
| Sensitive skin | Often gentler, no heat or wax | Can cause redness |
| Lasts | About 3 to 4 weeks | About 3 to 5 weeks |
Quick comparison
- Threading: a twisted cotton thread removes hairs at the root. It gives crisp, precise shapes, suits eyebrows, upper lip and the fine hairs on the face, and avoids hot wax near delicate skin. A session takes about 25 to 30 minutes and starts from AED 39.
- Waxing: removes more hair in one pass, which suits larger areas. Face waxing is quick but can irritate very sensitive or recently treated skin. Waxing starts from AED 35.
Which should you pick?
For eyebrow shaping, threading usually gives the cleanest line. For a bigger area such as the upper lip and chin together, either works, and it comes down to how your skin reacts. If you use retinol, acne treatments or have recently had a peel, tell the therapist first, as waxing can be too harsh in those cases.
Aftercare
Avoid heavy make-up, saunas and strong sun for the rest of the day, and do not scratch or pick the area. All prices include 5% VAT and the AED 9 service fee, so the price you see is the price you pay.
