5 Threading Myths Busted by NeraStyles

What It Means:

Many people think threading is only useful for shaping eyebrows and nothing more.

Reality:

Threading is a versatile hair removal method that works beautifully on multiple areas of the face and body.

How NeraStyles Busts This Myth:

We offer a full menu of threading services, including:

• Upper Lip Threading
• Lower Lip Threading
• Chin Threading
• Sideburn Threading
• Cheek Threading
• Forehead Threading
• Neck Threading
• Full Face Threading
• Underarm Threading
• Arm Threading

You can go far beyond eyebrows and enjoy the same precision and clean results across your entire face or even body.

What It Means:

Some believe threading feels like dozens of needles poking at your skin.

Reality:

While threading isn’t completely painless, it's often described as more tolerable than waxing—especially for sensitive areas.

How NeraStyles Busts This Myth:

Our estheticians use gentle, practiced techniques to minimize discomfort. Plus, we work quickly and efficiently, so the sensation is brief and bearable. We also offer post-threading cooling gel or rosewater mist to soothe the skin.

What It Means:

People fear threading irritates the skin more than other methods, especially on cheeks or forehead.

Reality:

Breakouts are usually due to poor hygiene—not threading itself.

How NeraStyles Busts This Myth:

We maintain high hygiene standards. Fresh threads are used for every client, and we prep and cleanse your skin before and after the service. This minimizes irritation and keeps your pores happy and clean.

What It Means:

Some clients believe threading only works for fine, facial hair—not for thick or coarse growth.

Reality:

Threading is highly effective on all hair types, including coarse or stubborn hair.

How NeraStyles Busts This Myth:

Whether it’s chin hair, neck hair, or even underarm threading, our threading techniques lift hair from the root—no matter the texture. With regular appointments, hair can even grow back finer over time.

What It Means:

The idea that removing hair causes it to return darker or coarser is widespread.

Reality:

Threading removes hair from the follicle. It does not change the structure or pigment of your hair.

How NeraStyles Busts This Myth:

With consistent threading at NeraStyles, many clients report that hair grows back slower and finer over time—not thicker. This myth is purely psychological—seeing hair grow back at the same time just seems denser when it isn’t.

What It Means:

Some believe that repeated threading stretches or weakens facial skin.

Reality:

Threading only affects the hair and uppermost layer of skin—it does not pull or tug like waxing.

How NeraStyles Busts This Myth:

We use controlled, minimal tension while threading to ensure your skin is never stressed or stretched.

What It Means:

People with eczema, rosacea, or sensitive skin worry threading will cause flare-ups.

Reality:

Threading is often the best choice for sensitive skin as it involves no heat or harsh chemicals.

How NeraStyles Busts This Myth:

We offer fragrance-free cleansers and post-treatment care to soothe delicate skin, making it ideal for clients in Phoenix’s dry climate.

If you’ve been hesitant to try threading because of these myths—now’s the time to let them go.

Q1: Is threading better than waxing for facial hair?

A: Yes, for many clients. Threading is more precise, doesn’t involve heat or chemicals, and is gentler on sensitive skin. It’s ideal for shaping areas like the eyebrows, lips, and cheeks without tugging or irritation.

Q2: Does threading hurt more than waxing?

A: Threading may feel like tiny pinches, but most clients find it more tolerable than waxing, especially for delicate facial areas. At NeraStyles, our trained estheticians work quickly and gently to minimize discomfort.

Q3: How long do threading results last?

A: Typically, results last between 2–4 weeks depending on your hair growth cycle. With regular appointments, hair often grows back finer and slower.

Q4: Is threading safe for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

A: Yes! Threading is chemical-free and doesn’t involve heat, making it a safe choice for those with eczema, rosacea, or sensitive skin. We also use soothing products post-treatment to prevent flare-ups.

Q5: Can I get more than one area threaded in the same session?

A: Absolutely. NeraStyles offers full-face threading and combinations such as eyebrow + upper lip or cheeks + chin. You can also include underarm and arm threading for a polished look.

Q6: Will threading make my hair grow back thicker or darker?

A: No. This is a myth. Threading removes hair from the follicle, and with regular use, it can actually lead to finer regrowth over time.

Q7: Is there any downtime or aftercare required?

A: Minimal. You may experience slight redness for 15–30 minutes. Avoid direct sun, makeup, or heavy skincare for a few hours post-service. We apply a cooling gel to calm your skin immediately after.

Q8: How is NeraStyles different from other salons offering threading?

A: We specialize in skin-safe threading tailored to Arizona’s dry climate. Our hygiene, technique, and full-body threading menu—from brows to arms—make us a trusted beauty destination in Phoenix.
