Threading

Precise, ancient technique — no redness, all shape.

An ancient Middle Eastern and Indian hair-removal technique using twisted cotton thread — precise, gentle on sensitive skin, and unbeatable for shape.

Threading
About the treatment

Why we do it this way.

Threading is ideal for sensitive skin — it's less irritating than wax and leaves no redness. Because the thread picks up hair at any length, it's also perfect for shorter or coarser hair.

For eyebrows especially, threading creates a precise, clean line and defined arch — nothing else quite matches it.

The Leah's difference

What sets this treatment apart.

Kind to sensitive skin

No wax, no chemicals, no redness — just a clean line of hair lifted from the follicle.

Unmatched precision

Best-in-class for brow shape and short or coarse hair the wax can't grip.

Fast and hygienic

Single-use cotton thread every time. Most treatments in under 10 minutes.

Available in 8 salons

Offered at every Leah's location except Cronulla.

What to expect

A calm, considered threading experience.

  1. Shape consult

    Your therapist maps the ideal brow shape to your face before starting.

  2. Prep

    The area is cleansed and lightly powdered so the thread glides.

  3. The thread

    A twisted double strand of cotton lifts hair in a clean, straight line — precise and fast.

  4. Finish

    A soothing gel calms the skin; foundation is available on request.

Before your visit

Prep like a pro.

  • Avoid retinol on the treatment area for 48 hours.
  • Skip fake tan on the day — the thread may lift some pigment.
  • Let brows grow out a few weeks between reshapes so we have something to work with.
After your treatment

Care that lasts.

  • Avoid heavy moisturisers on the threaded area for a few hours.
  • Skip makeup on the area for 4–6 hours if possible.
  • Rebook brows every 3–4 weeks to maintain shape.
Frequently asked

Good to know.

Does threading hurt?+

There's a small, quick sensation as the hair lifts — most clients find it milder than waxing, especially on the upper lip and cheeks.

Which is better — wax or thread?+

Wax is faster on larger areas. Thread is unbeatable on brow shape and on skin that reacts to wax. Many clients thread the brows and wax the rest.

Which salons offer threading?+

All Leah's salons except Cronulla.
