Threading for Men: The Ultimate 2025 Grooming Guide by Highbrow Beauty

Gone are the days when grooming — especially eyebrow threading for men — was seen as just a women’s thing. In 2025, men are equally invested in self-care and style. From maintaining clean brows to keeping a polished face, threading has become a key part of modern men’s grooming.
At Highbrow Beauty, we specialize in threading techniques tailored for men’s unique skin and grooming needs. This guide covers everything about threading for men — how it works, why it’s effective, aftercare, pain level, comparisons, and expert answers to your FAQs.

What is Threading?

Threading is an ancient hair removal technique that uses a twisted cotton thread to pull out unwanted hair from the root. This chemical-free method originated in South Asia and the Middle East and is now globally loved for its accuracy and skin safety.

Benefits of Threading

  • No chemicals involved — safe for sensitive skin
  • Precise results for shaping eyebrows
  • Slower regrowth (typically every 3–4 weeks)
  • Minimal skin irritation compared to waxing

Pro Tip: Threading provides cleaner results than razors, especially for fine facial hair

Why Should Men Consider Threading?

Eyebrow threading for men is not just about aesthetics — it’s about hygiene, confidence, and maintenance.

Top Reasons Men Choose Threading

  • Precision: Ideal for shaping without overdoing it
  • Less Painful than Waxing: Feels like quick pinching
  • No Razor Burns: Unlike shaving, no chance of nicks or cuts
  • Affordable & Quick: Takes 10–15 minutes max

What Areas Can Be Threaded?

Threading isn’t limited to eyebrows. Men can thread multiple facial areas:

  • Eyebrows
  • Forehead
  • Upper lip
  • Cheeks
  • Neck
  • Between the brows (unibrow)

Pro Tip: If you have thick brows, ask your technician for a “clean-up” instead of reshaping.

Is Threading Painful?

Threading involves pulling hair from the root, so it does cause slight discomfort. However, most men describe the pain as brief and very tolerable.

Pain Level Depends On:

  • Area being threaded
  • Skin sensitivity
  • Hair thickness

First-time discomfort fades after 1–2 sessions as the skin adjusts. At Highbrow Beauty, our trained professionals ensure the process is quick and comfortable.

Aftercare Tips for Men

To ensure your skin heals well and avoids breakouts, follow these expert tips:

  • Apply Aloe Vera or Rosewater – Calms irritation
  • Don’t Touch the Area – Prevents bacteria transfer
  • Avoid Gym/Sweat for 6–8 Hours – Reduces clogging
  • Don’t Shave Over It – Let natural regrowth happen

Are There Any Side Effects?

Threading is very skin-friendly, but you may experience:

  • Temporary redness
  • Small bumps
  • Mild swelling

Recommendation:

  • Use a cold compress
  • Apply soothing gel or aloe
  • Stay out of direct sunlight for a few hours

How Often Should Men Get Threading?

It depends on your hair growth rate and preference:

  • Eyebrows: Every 3–4 weeks
  • Cheeks/Neck: Every 2–3 weeks if thick hair grows
