Facial threading is an ancient hair-removal technique that uses a single twisted cotton thread to lift unwanted hair directly from the follicle. At Kaya Beauty Spa & Salon, Anita draws on more than 20 years of cosmetology experience to thread the forehead, cheeks, sides, chin and full face with remarkable precision. Because threading relies on thread alone, there are no creams, waxes or harsh chemicals touching your skin. The result is a clean, even canvas that takes makeup beautifully and looks naturally polished.
Quick Answer
Does facial threading hurt?
Most clients feel a brief, mild sting as the hair is lifted, which fades quickly. Anita works in smooth, controlled passes to keep the experience as comfortable as possible, and the sensation usually eases after the first few areas.
What Is Facial Threading?
Threading is a method of removing fine and coarse facial hair by rolling a doubled, twisted cotton thread across the skin to catch and lift each hair from its root. Unlike shaving, which cuts hair at the surface, threading removes the entire hair, so regrowth is softer and slower over time.
Facial threading is especially well suited to delicate areas where wax can feel too aggressive. It allows for clean lines along the forehead and jaw, even removal across the cheeks, and careful detailing around the chin and upper lip without pulling at the surrounding skin.
Areas We Thread

- Cheeks to remove soft, downy hair that catches light and makeup
- Sides of the face for a smooth, blended finish
- Chin and jawline to clear stubborn or coarse hairs
