Threading, Tweezers or Wax: What to Choose for Your Face
All three remove the hair — but differently, with different effects on the skin. The short comparison, from the studio’s day-to-day experience:
Tweezers
Precise but slow — perfect for touch-ups at home, not for shaping a whole brow. High risk of “I plucked too much”.
Wax
Fast on large areas, but it pulls on the skin too — irritating on the face, especially on sensitive skin, and it struggles to catch short hairs.
Threading — the winner for the face
Threading extracts hairs from the root, one by one, without touching the skin: millimetre precision, zero chemicals, minimal irritation. It catches even the shortest regrowth. At MY MARAFET STUDIO in Chișinău: full face from 150 lei, upper lip 50, nose area 50 — in 5–30 minutes.
Hairs grow back in 3–5 weeks, finer every time. Book your visit — it pairs perfectly with brow shaping.
FAQ
Is threading better than waxing for the face?
For facial skin, yes. Threading lifts the hair out at the root, one hair at a time, and the thread itself never touches the skin: precise to the millimetre, no chemicals, minimal irritation. Waxing is faster over large areas, but it drags on the skin and leaves the face irritated, especially if your skin is sensitive.
Does threading catch very short hairs?
Yes. It picks up hairs that have only just come through — the ones waxing misses because they are too short for the wax to grip.
How long does a threading session take?
Between 5 and 30 minutes, depending on the area: the upper lip and the nose area are quick, a full face takes longer. At MY MARAFET STUDIO in central Chisinau it pairs well with brow shaping in a single appointment.
How soon does the hair grow back?
In three to five weeks, and it comes back finer with each session.
