threading is by far the gentlest form of hair removal & dates back centuries with its origins in arabia & south asia. the simple process involves a piece of thread that is twisted & pulled along areas of unwanted hair acting like a mini-lasso, lifting the hair follicle directly from the root without the use of any chemicals or unnecessary tugging on delicate skin!we believe so strongly in this method that it is the only hair removal option we offer for the face.
sugaring dates back to the civilizations of mesopotamia, egypt, and greece. it is a form of hair removal that resembles waxing, but is actually much gentler and less painful to endure and requires a higher level of technical skill to perform.
although we firmly believe that threading is the gentlest form of hair
removal for the face, especially those with sensitive skin, some folks still
prefer to wax, because it gets the deed done faster. and so, for those die
hard facial waxers, we are now offering sugaring treatments!
please note: sugaring treatments are only available for the upper lip, chin, sideburns & neck.

no more pain, no more red, no more stranger’s looks of dread! although threading is by far the gentlest option for hair removal on the face’s delicate skin, we discovered that the treatment can still be painful for those who are more sensitive, especially in the often dreaded upper lip, chin & sideburn areas. thus, in hopes of eliminating discomfort & the unpleasant aftermath (aka redness), here at Shobha we have created a fresh perspective on this ancient art of hair removal. all Shobha® Specialists have been meticulously trained in our signature threading technique that uses our exclusive line of hair removal products, incorporating our own secret recipes, ensuring that everything goes smoothly each step of the way: prep, remove, then soothe.
benefits of threading
the ouch(less) factor - threading is found by many to be much less painful than waxing. since threading only targets the individual hairs, skin irritation is kept to a minimum, unlike waxing, which often causes unnecessary stretching & removal of the face's delicate top layers of skin.
an art of perfection - threading is very precise & allows our specialists to have greater control over which hairs are removed than waxing, resulting in a better brow shape for you!
au naturale - threading is 100% natural, there are no artificial waxes, chemicals, or invasive techniques used.
we take it all off - even those short stubbly hairs can be removed, giving you the option of avoiding that bothersome grow-out period.
the taming of the flame - minimal redness occurs after threading. any redness that does appear, usually subsides within an hour, so your beauty secrets stay secret!
anti-acne - most people who breakout from waxing tend to have much better results with threading. also, threading is dermatologist-recommended for individuals who are currently using skin-thinning medications like accutane and retin-a.
wrinkle prevention - warning: waxing can tug, pull, stretch, & even remove the delicate skin on your face, eventually facilitating the development of wrinkles! but there is good news, threading does none of this! so instead of torturing your face with wax, opt for threading which will result in hairless happiness!
sweet facts about sugaring
secret family recipe - the unique sugaring gel is all-natural, consisting of only sugar, lemon juice, glycerin & water. it looks like honey! (natural ingredients mean natural reactions, which for most is no reaction at all!)
sensitivity & pain - sugaring gel can be used on even the most sensitive skin; many find it to be noticeably less painful than waxing.
oh! how sweet it is - since sugaring gel adheres to your hair & sticks to your skin, you can achieve optimal results, with minimal irritation, while still removing the hair from the root. now, many waxers are converting to sugaring.
