Threading vs Waxing, compared.
Threading is precise, quick and chemical-free — a cotton thread lifts hair from the follicle, making it the gold standard for shaping eyebrows and small facial areas, and the gentler pick for sensitive or reactive skin. Waxing clears larger areas — arms, legs, full body — in one go, and because it removes hair from the root, regrowth is slower and softer than threading over big zones. At The Jawed Habib Unisex Luxury Salon most guests thread the face and wax the body.
- Threading from ₹50 — precise eyebrow and facial shaping, chemical-free, no downtime.
- Waxing from ₹150 (per area) up to full-body — fast clearing of large zones.
- Choose threading for eyebrows, upper lip and sensitive facial skin.
- Choose waxing for arms, legs and body — slower, softer regrowth over large areas.
- Threading suits reactive skin that wax can irritate; a patch approach helps first-timers.
- Roll-on and premium wax options; numbing and post-care for sensitive skin.

Answers, straight from the chair.
Threading or waxing — which is better?+
Neither is universally better; they suit different areas. Threading is more precise and gentler for eyebrows and facial hair, especially on sensitive skin. Waxing is faster for large areas like arms and legs and gives slower, softer regrowth. Most guests do both.
Is threading better for eyebrows than waxing?+
Yes — threading shapes eyebrows hair by hair for a clean, defined arch with less risk of over-removal or skin irritation. Waxing near the eyes is riskier on delicate skin, which is why we thread brows and reserve wax for larger areas.
Does waxing hurt more than threading?+
Both pinch briefly. Threading stings in short bursts on small areas; waxing is a quicker, broader pull. For sensitive skin we offer roll-on and premium waxes plus post-care to calm the skin — tell us when you book.
How much do threading and waxing cost at TJH Bagalur?+
Threading starts at ₹50 and waxing from ₹150 per area, with full-body options on the published menu at tjhbagalur.com/menu. Packages bundle face and body grooming at better value.
Which lasts longer, threading or waxing?+
Waxing regrowth is slower and finer — usually 3–5 weeks — because hair is pulled from the root across the whole area. Threading lasts about 2–4 weeks. Over large zones waxing wins on interval; for brows, threading's precision matters more than longevity.
