By Onique Threading Salon | 2026-05-19

You might be feeling a bit anxious about your first side burns threading, and that’s completely normal! Here at Onique Threading Salon, many clients have shared how warm and understanding our team is. One found reassurance in saying, "I didn’t feel rushed, I did not feel guilty for being a lot of work, and I felt normal and beautiful afterward." We understand the nerves, and we’re here to help you feel comfortable every step of the way. In the following sections, we'll walk you through preparations, the process, and aftercare tips to help you go in fully prepared.
Preparing for Side Burns Threading Like a Pro
To set yourself up for a smooth experience, we recommend a few practical steps. Avoid using any skincare products with strong actives, like retinol or acids, on the day of your threading appointment. This can help minimize irritation. When you arrive, let your technician know if you have any specific concerns about shaping or preferences. Our staff, known for their professionalism, are always ready to accommodate and ensure you leave satisfied.
What to Expect During Your Side Burns Threading Session
When you arrive, you’ll be welcomed into our clean and comfortable salon. We often begin with a brief consultation, where you can share how you want your side burns groomed. One of our long-time clients remarked on how relieved they felt when they experienced kind, gentle service instead of judgment. Once we start, threading typically takes about 15-30 minutes. You may feel a slight tugging sensation, but most clients find it quick and easily manageable. As one client put it, “I’d give ten stars if I could.” Our objective is to provide precision and care to leave you feeling beautiful and confident.
After Your Threading: Caring for Your Skin
After threading, your skin might feel slightly sensitive, and it’s perfectly normal. We recommend avoiding hot water, sun exposure, and makeup for at least a few hours post-appointment. Keeping the area moisturized with a gentle aloe vera gel can help soothe your skin. Clients frequently find that they love their results, stating they start receiving compliments immediately! For best results, visit us every 4 to 6 weeks to maintain your look.
Insider Tips: Enhance Your Experience
For first-timers, it’s helpful to book your appointment earlier in the day. Salons tend to be quieter, allowing for a more personalized experience. Our skilled technicians have a wealth of experience, with many clients returning time and again, one even shared, "I’ve been getting my eyebrows done by Kay for over 20 years." This speaks volumes about the quality and trust you will find here. Embrace this new step in your beauty routine; we’re excited to have you!
