What are the thoughts? Anyone prefer threading than wax? Why?

I prefer threading over waxing because I've always had a bad time healing after a wax. My skin freaks out after being waxed every time with waxing but not threading. I think because there is no heat and no risk of skin being pulled off the the threading seems more gentle on my skin.

Thanks traci! Your right waxing a bit shock to the skin. Do you find threading last longer?

Wax last longer is quicker and less painful.

If you have sensitive skin they have special wax for that.

I have crazy sensitive skin and always end up swollen, itchy, and splotchy after waxing. I just recently tried threading because I figured fewer chemicals = fewer reactions. I was wrong! I was just as splotchy and swollen as with waxing! In fact, I went to the MAC counter after (I was in search of a new foundation) and the MUA was surprised I was so broken out after threading! But this only lasted a day or so and I actually prefer the results I got from threading vs waxing. It hurts like whoa, and I think they lied about the whole "gentler for sensitive skin" skin, but can beat the results!

Threading takes longer you literally feel every hair slowly being pulled out it's pretty painful but you do get a nice n clean shape.
