How to pay less
- Book threading for several facial areas together, as full-face packages cost less per area
- Keep to a regular threading schedule so regrowth stays light and visits stay short
- Use a walk-in threading counter for quick areas like the lip and chin
Before you book
- Avoid exfoliating or using retinol on the area you want threaded for a few days
- Do not have threading over broken skin, cold sores or active acne
- Ask whether the threader uses a fresh thread for each client, as good hygiene demands
- Tell the therapist if you take medication that makes skin fragile, such as isotretinoin
Threading cost: questions people ask
Expect £4 to £15 per area, and around £10 for a typical area such as the brows. Small areas like the upper lip cost least.
A single small area takes about five minutes. A full face, including brows, takes around half an hour.
Many people with sensitive skin prefer threading, as no hot wax or strip touches the face. It also suits people using skincare that makes waxing risky.
Yes, and most salons offer combinations such as brows and lip, or a full-face price that works out cheaper than each area singly.
Tinting, bleaching and body hair removal are separate services, even when done at the same visit.
They are Locufy guide prices for the UK, taken from published UK threading cost guides. Your salon's own price list is what you will actually pay.
