That's partially because threading is fast, about 50% quicker than tweezing, and partially because some say that threading is more effective than tweezing. One advantage to threading is that it may actually be better for sensitive skin than waxing. So much so that many salons recommend threading to clients on certain medications or skin care regimes that include the use of Retin A (known for causing some sensitivity in skin.) Threading removes hair from the root while tweezing can "cut" the hair, causing dreaded in-growns. And advocates say threading is preferable to waxing because it focuses on the root of the hair only, where as waxing pulls the skin, often stripping off the top layer of dead skin and sometimes causing irritation. The process removes rows of hair with twists of a cotton thread. Our Top Picks for Threading in Chicago:Gold Coast:
