Threading costs around the same as waxing and sugaring. The price will vary depending on where you live and the type of salon you go to, but you can expect to pay between $25 to $35.

Side effects With threading, you may feel a tugging, burning sensation during the procedure, especially when the specialist is working on particularly sensitive areas of your face. You can also expect some redness, irritation and, potentially, even moderate swelling in the hours after the procedure.

For ones with thicker and unshaped eyebrows, waxing will provide a good framework for a great brow and get rid of more hair quicker. Threading is a fine choice for ones just trying to keep a basic natural shape and get rid of a few short hairs.

Eyebrow threading is also said to be safer for those prone to post-waxing breakouts, says Dahiya. "Unlike tweezing, threading does not create ingrown hairs and is safer for all skin types," she says. "A good practitioner has light and painless movements with the thread and skin."
