Why are perfectly shaped brows so important?

What is the key feature that makes a face stand out? While the logical assumption might be your standard nose, eyes and mouth, it’s the brows that hold the highest face value. Beyond their function as a filter against dust, dirt and sweat that might get into your eyes, brows have a strong social significance for “emotional expression, as well as facial recognition.”

Besides their physiological and social functions, eyebrows provide a frame to the face and have a significant impact on how facial features work together. When people feel they look less polished than usual, unkempt eyebrows are usually the culprit.

Personalized Appointments

At Imaan’s, all brow appointments begin with a visual assessment of your facial shape and bone structure to identify the best possible shape for your unique features.

Each person should have their own brow shape to complement their face and features. Unfortunately, too often are brows waxed too thin and shaped into an unnatural arch or a skinny, abnormal shape. At Imaan’s, you can rest assured that we can give you the most flattering brow shape. We can also help minimize damage that may be caused by over-waxing or over-tweezing.

A simple change in how you colour or shape your brows can make all the difference. A professional eyebrow threading/waxing or tinting can give an illusion of an instant facelift. We have worked with clients to help them understand the best eyebrow shape for their facial features, as well as worked with them to create the adequately sculpted brow. This process can take weeks or months to grow in the eyebrow hair and then design the right eyebrow shape.

What exactly is threading?

Threading is an ancient method of hair removal originating in the Eastern world. In more recent times, it has gained popularity in Western countries — as more and more people have turned to this method for its superior shaping capabilities.

Precision

This technique provides the skilled threading artist with more precise control in shaping eyebrows due to its ability to target exact lines of hair at once. This means the therapist can remove more hair in less time, with millimetric precision. Imagine combining the accuracy of tweezing your eyebrows with the speediness of waxing! That is the magic of threading.

A Safe and Gentle Approach

Threading is gentle on the skin as it doesn’t rely on the use of chemicals, heat, or any harsh ingredients to do its job. This reduces the risk of irritation for those with sensitivities or regularly using topical ingredients (such as retinoids).

Sustainability

Threading is eco-friendly and produces almost zero waste, as nothing more than a cotton thread is used during your brow appointment.

Minimal Pain

Because the therapist removes several hairs at once, it can be painful — though when done by a professional, the pain can be minimized. Our highly skilled therapists are trained to perform threading treatments gently and quickly to reduce and ease discomfort.

Rapid Results

Threading is very quick and can take anywhere from 5 to 20 minutes, depending on the case. We suggest clients allow for extra time to go through a proper facial assessment before commencing treatment. This brief consultation time will ensure you walk out of the salon with your dream brows!

Suitability For Sensitive Skin

Because the therapist removes several hairs at once, it can be painful — though when done by a professional, the pain can be minimized. Our highly skilled therapists are trained to perform threading treatments gently and quickly to reduce and ease discomfort.

Facial Threading

Threading is an effective and hygienic hair removal method that can be applied to different areas of the face (or the whole face if desired). Though its hair by hair precision makes it an excellent way to achieve flawlessly sculpted brows, threading can also be done on other areas of the face. In fact, threading is also perfect for getting rid of all types of unwanted facial hair — including peach fuzz and stubborn, dark facial hair. Our expert beauticians are trained to efficiently remove the hair of the upper-lip, chin, sideburns and forehead in one quick, almost pain-free appointment. They can even thread your entire face in one session if desired!

Full Face Threading

Some people experience an excessive amount of unwanted facial hair that is noticeable to the eye. When it’s not the desired look, this hair can create feelings of discomfort and can truly put a dent on self-confidence. Threading provides a suitable solution for the skin of the entire face. Unlike waxing, threading removes unwanted hair without actually making any contact with the surface of the skin — making it an ideal method to treat even the most delicate areas. Threading can also remove imperceptible facial hair or “peach fuzz.” While this type of hair is invisible to the naked eye, a lot of people like going peach fuzz-free. Skin feels smoother than ever before, with a silky soft finish that is hard to beat. Makeup also glides effortlessly on the skin and lasts longer than it usually does. For special events or as a part of their regular beauty routine, going peach fuzz-free is becoming an increasingly popular option amongst our clients.
