Get answers to common questions about Cheeks / Sides.

Most clients enjoy smooth, hair-free cheeks and sides for about three to six weeks, depending on individual growth cycles. Regular appointments can slow regrowth and keep lines crisp; we usually recommend maintenance every three to six weeks for best results.

No—threading removes hair at the root and does not change its thickness or color. Hair may appear coarser as it grows out initially, but repeated threading typically leads to softer, finer regrowth over time.

Sensation varies by person, but threading is generally quick with brief pinching or stinging. Our experienced technicians work efficiently to minimize discomfort. Any redness usually subsides within a few hours, and aftercare reduces sensitivity.

Arrive with clean, dry skin and natural hair length of roughly 3–5 mm. Avoid heavy exfoliation the same day and skip retinoids or strong acids 48–72 hours prior. Notify us of sensitivities so we can tailor the service.

Avoid direct sun and heavy makeup for a few hours, cleanse gently, and skip hot showers or steam for 24 hours. Use soothing aloe or a calm lotion if needed, and exfoliate gently after 48–72 hours to prevent ingrown hairs.

Yes—threading can be done with precautions. Inform your technician about sensitivities or active acne. We may avoid inflamed areas, perform a patch test, and use gentler techniques plus calming aftercare to reduce irritation.
