Get answers to common questions about Cheeks Threading.

You may feel brief stinging as hairs are removed, but pain is generally mild. Cheeks threading typically takes 10–20 minutes depending on hair amount. Our technicians work quickly and carefully to minimize discomfort and ensure a calm experience.

Clean, dry skin with no makeup is ideal. Avoid exfoliating, waxing or chemical peels for at least 48 hours prior, and skip retinoids for a few days. Inform your technician of medications or skin sensitivities before the service.

Most clients return every three to six weeks, depending on hair growth and personal preference. Regular threading often leads to finer regrowth and longer intervals between treatments. Your technician will recommend a schedule tailored to your hair pattern and desired results.

Threading has a lower risk of ingrown hairs than shaving or waxing, but they can occur. Proper aftercare—gentle exfoliation after 48 hours, moisturizing, and avoiding picking—helps prevent ingrowns. We treat issues and advise products if needed.

Yes — threading suits almost all skin types and tones because it's non-chemical and precise. However, avoid treatment on active acne, open wounds, severe rosacea, or recent facial peels. Consult our technician for any skin concerns before booking.

It's best to wait a few hours before applying heavy makeup to reduce irritation and clogged pores. If you must, use light, non-comedogenic products and ensure hands and brushes are clean. Apply SPF during daytime to protect freshly treated skin.
