What type of hair removal is recommended for clients with sensitive skin?

For clients with sensitive skin, threading is often recommended because it is a gentler method of hair removal that does not involve the use of chemicals or heat, which can irritate sensitive skin. Threading uses a thin cotton or polyester thread that is twisted and rolled along the skin to remove hair from the root. This technique is precise and can result in less irritation compared to other methods.

In addition, threading does not require the application of wax or other substances that might cause allergic reactions or discomfort, making it a suitable choice for individuals who experience adverse reactions to more invasive hair removal techniques. Other methods such as waxing, whether hot or cold, can involve the application of heat and adhesive substances that may not be suitable for sensitive skin. Shaving, while sometimes gentler, can still lead to razor burn and irritation, particularly for those with delicate skin.
