Book Your ThreadingEyebrow threading is an ancient hair removal technique that originated in South Asia and the Middle East over 6,000 years ago. This precise method uses a twisted cotton thread to remove unwanted hair from the follicle level, creating clean, defined lines and perfectly shaped eyebrows.
At Wish Dry Bar, our experienced threading specialists have mastered this intricate technique. Unlike waxing, which can pull on delicate skin and use harsh chemicals, threading is completely natural and gentle. The twisted thread acts like a tiny lasso, catching and removing multiple hairs at once with incredible precision.
Founded by Sogol Onsori, Wish Dry Bar offers threading as part of our comprehensive beauty services. Our specialists understand facial symmetry and brow shaping, ensuring your eyebrows complement your face shape and features. We work with you to create the perfect arch, thickness, and length for your unique look.
Threading allows for incredible precision, removing individual hairs or entire rows with exact control for perfectly defined brows.
No chemicals, wax, or harsh products touch your skin. Threading only removes hair, not skin cells, making it ideal for sensitive skin.
Results last 2-4 weeks because threading removes hair from the root, similar to tweezing but much faster.
Threading doesn't irritate or burn skin like waxing can. Perfect for those with sensitive skin, acne, or rosacea.
Creates sharp, clean edges and defined arches that are difficult to achieve with other hair removal methods.
A full eyebrow threading session typically takes only 10-15 minutes, making it perfect for busy schedules.
Step 1: Consultation - We discuss your desired brow shape and assess your natural brow structure, face shape, and features. We'll recommend the most flattering shape for you.
Step 2: Preparation - The brow area is cleaned to remove any makeup or oils. This ensures the best grip on the hairs for smooth removal.
Step 3: Threading - Using a twisted cotton thread, our specialist precisely removes unwanted hairs. The thread is twisted and rolled along the skin, catching hairs and lifting them from the follicle.
Step 4: Shaping - We work systematically to create your desired shape, regularly stepping back to check symmetry and balance.
Step 5: Finishing Touches - Any stray hairs are removed, and we apply a soothing gel to calm the skin. We'll show you your new brows and make any final adjustments.
The entire process takes 10-15 minutes for eyebrows. We also offer threading for upper lip, chin, full face, and other facial areas.
Threading vs. Waxing: Threading is more precise and doesn't use heat or chemicals. Waxing can pull skin and cause irritation, especially around delicate eye areas. Threading removes only hair, not skin cells.
Threading vs. Tweezing: While tweezing removes one hair at a time, threading can remove multiple hairs simultaneously. Threading is much faster and creates cleaner lines.
Threading vs. Shaving: Shaving only cuts hair at the surface and can cause stubble. Threading removes hair from the root for smoother, longer-lasting results.

At Wish Dry Bar, we maintain the highest standards of hygiene and use only new, clean thread for each client. Your safety and satisfaction are our top priorities.

Eyebrow threading causes minimal discomfort, often described as a quick pinching or tingling sensation. Most clients find it less painful than waxing because threading doesn't pull on the skin. The sensation is brief and becomes easier to tolerate with regular threading sessions. First-time clients may experience slightly more sensitivity, but this decreases with subsequent visits as you know what to expect.
Threading results typically last 2-4 weeks, as the hair is removed from the root. The exact duration depends on your individual hair growth rate. Some clients with slower-growing hair can go up to 5 weeks between sessions, while those with faster growth may prefer to come every 2-3 weeks. Regular threading can actually slow hair regrowth over time.
Yes, threading is one of the safest hair removal methods for sensitive skin because it uses only cotton thread with no chemicals, wax, or heat. Threading doesn't touch the skin itself. Only the hair is pulled out. This makes it ideal for people with rosacea, eczema, acne, or those using retinol or other skin treatments that make waxing unsafe. However, there may be temporary redness immediately after threading, which typically fades within 30 minutes.
Yes, threading is generally safe even if you have acne, but we avoid threading directly over active breakouts to prevent spreading bacteria. Threading is actually better than waxing for acne-prone skin because it doesn't use products that could clog pores. Let your threading specialist know about any active breakouts so they can work around them. Threading can help keep the brow area clear by removing hair without irritating the skin.
Come to your appointment with clean skin, removing any makeup around the brow area beforehand. Let your brows grow out for at least 2 weeks before your first threading appointment so there's enough hair to grip and shape properly. Avoid using retinol or exfoliating products on the brow area for 2-3 days before threading. If you're nervous, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever 30 minutes before your appointment.
Avoid touching the threaded area, applying makeup, tanning, or using harsh products for at least 24 hours after threading. Don't go swimming or exercise heavily immediately after, as sweat and chlorine can irritate freshly threaded skin. Avoid direct sun exposure for 24 hours and skip retinol or exfoliating products near the brow area for 2-3 days. Apply a soothing gel or aloe if needed.
Yes, threading can be used to remove unwanted hair from the upper lip, chin, cheeks, forehead, sideburns, and even full face. We offer various threading services beyond eyebrows. Many clients prefer threading for facial hair removal because it's gentler than waxing and more precise than other methods. Threading is particularly effective for upper lip hair removal, creating clean, defined lines.
Yes, skilled threading specialists create symmetrical, even brows, though minor swelling immediately after threading can temporarily affect how they look. Our specialists constantly check for symmetry during the threading process. Any slight redness or swelling typically subsides within 30 minutes to an hour. If you notice any concerns after the swelling goes down, we're happy to make adjustments. Just let us know within a few days of your appointment.
