I was never really a big fan of waxing or plucking and I’m sure as heck not going to sit through electrolysis treatments, so I was super excited to find out that one of the salons in my neighborhood is going to start offering threading.  I had heard that threading was becoming very popular in the city, that it was quickly becoming the Chicago hair remover of choice, so I’m glad to see that it’s branching out into the suburbs so I can see what all the fuss is about.  From what I understand it’s a techniques that takes months to perfect, where a cosmetologist uses a twisted cotton thread to remove unwanted hair.  It’s supposed to be relatively painless and a lot better for your skin than waxing.  I really hope that threading is effective because it would be nice to have a procedure to remove hair that doesn’t require boiling hot wax or harsh chemicals to be applied to the skin.  I don’t know exactly what my local salon is going to charge, but I’ve heard that in most places the treatments are cheaper than waxing as well, so I’ll probably be saving money by switching, which is also a good thing.
