Threading is a Myth.

Threading is a myth. It is all psychology you see. Whether it is your brows, lip, chin or cheek, people assume because hot wax is no longer being poured on the skin that threading works better. In reality, it’s either a terrible waxing experience or because of an Esthetician who has not yet discovered the difference between top shelf brands of wax from the lower grade beauty school honey goo. Bottom line: These clients are convinced their “skin is sensitive and always breaks out from wax – ANY KIND OF WAX”. Threading is a current trend and the latest celebrity is doing it hence we must try something new but wow is threading painful and how can we really get that great arch??..and that clean symmetrical shape? Whereas, a stripless hard wax such as Cirepil Blue or Cirepil Crystalline is easier for an Esthetician to shape, it sticks to the hair and not the skin. If you think about it, hard wax is doing the same exact thing as threading but without the pain. Not to mention no redness, exfoliation, concerns with pigmentation, burning or pore clogging. When it comes to Cirepil Blue, most guests say, “it’s over?, that’s it? We are through?”. Industry statistics show that even men are increasingly likely to use hard waxing over regular wax, before threading.

Cirepil is the “Lamborghini” of wax! The top shelf brand consists of stripless hard wax beads that melts like chocolate to your liking. It is perfect for sensitive face and on-the-spot body hair removal. Cirepil Crystalline ultra-sensitive stripless hard wax beads for face, such as someone coming off Retin A or Acutane or for the little one needing early stages of facial hair removal would use this. You can actually be waxed more than once in the same area with the stripless hard wax because Cirepil is a paraffin gel formulation that sticks to the hair, not the skin. Not to mention it feels really good when it is drying! I advise this over threading in a heartbeat. So many to choose for every kind of waxing both strip and stripless but beauty professionals and at home waxers, you must be a licensed Esthetician in your state to purchase this wax so it is best to research a top spa for a treatment using this product!.

Some spa’s you may find hard wax such as Cirepil:
The Spa at Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas NV
Gurney’s Inn Ocean View Salon & Seawater Spa, Montauk NY
