Full Face Threading
Expert threading of the brows, cheeks, lip, chin, and forehead for a completely smooth, hair-free face.
About Full Face Threading
Expert threading of the brows, cheeks, lip, chin, and forehead.
Full face threading removes unwanted hair from every area of the face — brows, upper lip, chin, cheeks, sideburns, and forehead — using the traditional cotton thread technique. At Urban Brows, this is one of our most requested services because it delivers a completely smooth, hair-free result with no chemicals, no wax, and no risk of burns or allergic reactions.
The treatment works by rolling a doubled cotton thread over the skin's surface, catching and pulling individual hairs from the follicle. Because the thread grips at the root, results last two to four weeks — significantly longer than shaving — and repeated sessions train the hair to grow back finer and sparser over time. Unlike waxing, threading does not remove a layer of skin, making it safe for clients on retinol, accutane, or those with rosacea and eczema.
Beyond brow shaping, full face threading is popular for removing the fine peach fuzz (vellus hair) that covers the cheeks and forehead. Removing this hair creates a smoother canvas for foundation and primer, and many clients notice their skincare products absorb noticeably better after a session.
The entire appointment takes about 20 minutes at Urban Brows. Your artist works area by area, starting with brow shaping and moving outward to the lip, chin, cheeks, and forehead. Available at every Urban Brows location.

Frequently Asked Questions About Full Face Threading
How long does full face threading take?
A full face threading appointment takes about 20 minutes. It covers the brows, upper lip, chin, cheeks, sideburns, and forehead in one session.
Is full face threading painful?
Most clients describe a quick pulling sensation that fades within seconds. The lip and chin tend to be the most sensitive areas, while the cheeks and forehead feel very mild. Any redness typically disappears within 15-30 minutes.
How is face threading different from dermaplaning?
Threading removes hair from the root, so results last 2-4 weeks and hair grows back finer over time. Dermaplaning shaves hair at the surface, so regrowth appears within a week and feels stubbly. Threading is also chemical-free and safe for sensitive skin.
Will the hair grow back thicker after threading?
No — this is a common myth. Threading pulls hair from the root, which actually weakens the follicle over time. With regular sessions, most clients notice their facial hair growing back finer and sparser.
Can I get full face threading if I have sensitive skin?
Yes. Threading is one of the gentlest hair removal methods available because it does not involve chemicals, wax, or heat. It is safe for clients with rosacea, eczema, acne-prone skin, and those using retinol.
