What to Expect From Eyebrow Threading at Urban Brows

First time trying threading? You’re in good hands. This quick, precise brow-shaping method lifts your arches, cleans stray hairs, and is kind to sensitive skin—all in minutes.

Before You Come In: Quick Prep

• Let your brows grow for 2–3 weeks so your artist can map your natural shape.
• Skip tweezing between appointments—every hair helps us create a cleaner outline.
• Arrive with clean, makeup-free brows so we can see your true growth pattern.
• Tell us about skin sensitivities or actives (like retinoids) so we can tailor care.

What Happens During Your Appointment

1. Consultation: We chat about your ideal shape and natural growth.
2. Cleanse & map: The area is cleansed and your brows are lightly mapped for symmetry.
3. Threading: A fresh cotton thread—held by hand, no mouth contact—is rolled over unwanted hairs to lift them from the follicle with precision.
4. Refine: Minimal trimming or tweezing may be used for perfecting edges.
5. Soothe: A calming mist or gel helps reduce temporary redness.
6. Mirror check: We walk through aftercare and make sure you love the result.

Most brow threading appointments take about 10 minutes—clean, precise, and done.

Does Threading Hurt?

Sensation varies by person, but most describe quick little zips—tolerable and over fast. Because rows of hair are removed in one motion, many find threading gentler than waxing or tweezing.

Aftercare (First 24 Hours)

• Mild pinkness is normal and fades quickly; a cool compress or rose water can help.
• Avoid makeup, heavy creams, saunas/steam, and intense workouts for about 24 hours.
• Hands off—touching can introduce bacteria to freshly opened follicles.
• Apply SPF the next day to protect the area.

Results & Maintenance

Freshly threaded brows typically last 2–4 weeks depending on your growth cycle. To keep your shape crisp, plan on a touch-up every 3–4 weeks.
