Get answers to common questions about Side Burns.

Most guests enjoy smooth sideburns for three to six weeks, depending on hair growth cycle and individual skin type. Regular appointments every four to five weeks help maintain the polished look and prevent coarse or uneven regrowth.

Threading causes quick, sharp tugs but is generally well tolerated; discomfort is brief and often less than waxing. Inform your technician about sensitivity and we can adjust technique, use soothing compresses, or recommend numbing options when appropriate.

Come with clean, makeup-free skin and avoid exfoliating treatments for 48 hours prior. Keep hair about 1/4 inch long for efficient threading. Disclose recent peels, retinoid use, or medications to ensure a safe, comfortable treatment.

After threading, apply a cool compress and an alcohol-free soothing gel or serum. Avoid heavy makeup, sun exposure, saunas, and vigorous exfoliation for 24 to 48 hours to prevent irritation and maintain the brightened, exfoliated finish.

Yes. Side Burns threading pairs well with brow shaping, eyebrow or lip threading, and customized facials. Let us know when booking so we allocate enough time. Combining services delivers a cohesive, polished facial aesthetic in one appointment.

Avoid threading with active cold sores, open wounds, severe acne, sunburn, or recent chemical peels. Inform us about blood-thinning medications or recent isotretinoin use. We’ll recommend a safe timeline or alternative grooming options if needed.
