Upper Lip Threading vs. Full Face Threading: Which One Should You Choose? – A Complete Guide by Purify Looks Family Saloon

When it comes to facial hair removal, threading has become one of the most trusted and precise beauty techniques. It is quick, chemical-free, and suitable for almost all skin types—including sensitive skin. At Purify Looks Family Saloon, we offer both upper lip threading and full face threading, and many clients often ask:

“Which one is right for me?”

In this detailed guide, we compare both options to help you make the best choice for your skin and style.

What is Upper Lip Threading?

Upper lip threading focuses only on the area above your lip. The technique uses a cotton thread to pull out unwanted hair from the root with precision.

✔ Benefits of Upper Lip Threading:

• Quick and affordable

• Great for regular maintenance

• Gives a clean and sharp lip line

• No chemicals or heat involved

• Less irritation compared to waxing

✔ Who Should Choose It?

• Clients who only have prominent upper lip hair

• Anyone looking for a short session

• Perfect for maintenance between full-face sessions

What is Full Face Threading?

Full face threading includes the forehead, eyebrows (basic shaping), cheeks, sideburns, chin, jawline, and upper lip.

✔ Benefits of Full Face Threading:

• Removes peach fuzz (fine facial hair)

• Smooth, even skin texture

• Enhances makeup application

• Gives the skin a polished, glowing look

• Long-lasting results compared to shaving

✔ Who Should Choose It?

• Brides, models, and people who want a clean, flawless look

• Those with visible facial hair across the cheeks, chin, or jawline

• Clients preparing for events or photoshoots
