The method
How threading works
One cotton thread, two hands and a mirror.
Say what you want
Tell your threader the shape or the area, or show a photo. We talk through the line before we start, and you can change your mind at any point.
A loop of cotton
Your threader twists a cotton thread into a loop and rolls it over the skin, lifting hairs out at the root in short passes. There's no wax, no heat and no blade.
Look in the mirror
Before the last pass we hold up a mirror. Nothing more is taken until you've said it looks right.
Cool down and go
A cool cloth and a few notes on what to skip for the rest of the day. Skin can look pink for a while.

What walk-ins say
“I come in on my lunch break. I'm in a chair within a few minutes and back at my desk with time left to eat.”
Irais G.
“Bhavna drew the line, held up the mirror and waited until I said yes. Nobody had asked me that before.”
Delilah W.
“After work, no booking and no phone call. I walk in and take a seat.”
Quy N.
“I brought my sister for her first threading. They explained each step before they did it, and she wasn't nervous.”
Jeremiah T.
“The upper lip takes about as long as ordering a coffee. I ask for the same threader every time.”

How pricing works
Every service has a price. Here is what sets it and where you see it.
What decides the price
Price follows the area and the minutes a service takes. A brow shaping and a full face are priced differently because the time and the area are different.
The area: brows, lip, chin, cheeks or a full face
The time the service takes
Whether you add a second area in the same visit
What the consultation covers
Every first visit starts with a short talk at the chair: the shape or area you want, how your skin has felt after past threading, and anything you'd like us to skip. Nothing starts until you agree, and you can stop at any point.
Add-ons and changes on the day
If you add a second area once you're in the chair, we add the minutes and the price for that area, and your threader tells you before starting. Nothing is added without your yes.
Deposits
We don't take a deposit, whether you walk in or book a time.
Canceling or running late
If you booked, please let us know at least two hours ahead so someone else can have the time. If you're late, we take you as soon as a chair opens, and your service may be shorter.
Tipping
Tips are appreciated and never expected. Leave one in cash at the chair or add it when you pay.
Gift cards and packages
Gift cards come in any amount and work for any service. Buy one online or at the counter.
Buy a gift card
Prices are on the booking page and on the board by the door. Your threader says the price before the first pass.
