About threading services
It is quicker than waxing, suits skin using retinoids or acids that cannot be waxed, and takes fine hair that tweezing misses. No specific licence applies, so cleanliness and a new thread per client are the checks. It is also used on upper lip and chin, and stings briefly rather than lastingly.
