The Art of Eyebrow Threading

Ziba Beauty: Not Just a Salon, but a Gateway to Eastern Beauty

Threading of the eyebrows

Relative to the notion that the eyes are the window to the soul, the eyebrow serves as a frame that creates symmetry, as well as exudes mystery. As Ziba Beauty comments, it is “a silent decision maker,” which can alter the shape of the entire face. Suffice to say, your eyebrows should be modified in accordance to your unique facial structure. With the ancient method of eyebrow threading, the eyebrow is treated as a canvas where the rightly constructed shape can transform the appeal of your eyes – hence, the Art of Threading ®.

Threading of upper lip

Stemming from India, threading is arguably a less painful and more exact way of facial hair removal. Mimicking a kind of “Tai Chi” style of movement, the threader swiftly, yet precisely manipulates the eyebrow with the artistic use of cotton thread. Coupled with the steady fashion that requires both the mouth and hands of the threader, the cotton thread gently pulls each hair from its follicle; ultimately creating a smooth, clean surface. Although the history of threading is seemingly focused on the eyebrow, Ziba Beauty not only introduced threading to the West, but also adapted the method as a hair removal technique for all areas of the face.

Threading of the Chin

Ziba Beauty has broke new ground in helping to forever change the Western view of Eastern beauty. From its humble beginnings in 1986, Ziba is prominently expanding across Southern California, enhancing the natural beauty of many people – men and women alike.

As a regular visitor of Ziba Beauty in its Rancho Cucamonga location at Victoria Gardens (ask for Amy), I find threading to be a gift of beautification that fortunately made its way onto the West Coast. I am no longer a consumer of other forms of facial hair removal, like waxing or tweezing. In my book, threading allows you to step into a world of archaic beauty that can revitalize your face with the simplistic instrument of cotton thread.

The cost of eyebrow threading at Ziba Beauty ranges from $9 and up. Other parts of the face vary, starting as low as 5 bucks. Now, that’s an affordable luxury!

Other Southern California Ziba Beauty locations include Artesia, Cerritos, Downey, Lakewood, Santa Ana, and Long Beach.

    I love this hair removal technique. At the Biltmore in Scottsdale/Phoenix area, there are a couple older ladies there that do this fabulous work of art. It’s virtually painless and not really expensive..surprisingly!!! This article fills in all of my blank spots!

    I go to Shobha in Manhattan for threading & it really is the way to go for brows - very precise!

    too bad ziba was a super rich woman that is in a class action lawsuit against 200 of her employees. She would pay them nothing and over work them…
