Threading & Waxing

Precise, fast, and gentle hair removal — no chemicals, no shortcuts.

Threading and waxing are two of the oldest hair removal methods around, and they're still the go-to choice for a reason: no downtime, no equipment recovery time, and results that last weeks instead of days. At Imaan's, both are done by hand, with the shape and precision that comes from Kanwal's decades of experience.

How it works

Threading uses a twisted length of cotton thread, rolled along the skin to catch and lift hair directly from the follicle — no chemicals or heat touch the skin at all. It's especially precise, which is why it's the standard for eyebrow shaping and fine facial hair.

Waxing works by applying warm wax to the skin, which grips the hair as it sets. When the wax is removed, hair is pulled out from the root over a larger area at once — making it efficient for bigger areas like legs, arms, or the back.

Both methods remove hair from the root, so regrowth is slower and finer than shaving, typically returning over three to six weeks.

Who it's ideal for

• Anyone wanting clean, precise brow or facial hair shaping (threading)
• Sensitive skin that reacts to razors or chemical depilatories
• Larger areas needing efficient, longer-lasting removal (waxing)
• Anyone preparing for an event and wanting smooth skin that lasts
• Clients who want a lower-commitment alternative to laser or electrolysis

Benefits

• Root-level removal means regrowth is slower and softer than shaving
• No chemicals involved in threading, gentle enough for sensitive skin
• Sharp, precise shaping for brows and facial detail work
• Efficient for larger areas with waxing
• No downtime — walk out and go about your day

Aftercare

• Skin may be slightly red or sensitive for a few hours — this is normal and settles quickly
• Avoid touching the treated area with unwashed hands
• Skip makeup, perfumed lotions, and deodorant on the area for 24 hours
• Avoid direct sun and always apply SPF 30+ to treated skin
• Hold off on hot showers, baths, saunas, and heavy exercise for a day
• Avoid exfoliating the area for 48 hours to let the skin settle
• Let hair grow to about a quarter-inch between appointments for the cleanest results next time
