Threading is growing in popularity as a means to remove facial hair – in particular keeping eyebrows neat – and a growing number of beauty salons are starting to offer it.
But while licenses are required for almost all beauty and spa treatments in California and other parts of the USA, legislators are still deliberating about regulating this practice. Although the procedure has been done for thousands of years threading is something which girls of Middle Eastern and Asian origin mostly learn at home and there is no official training.
Update : This post originally pointed to an article which is no longer available in the San Jose Mercury News about the dangers of unregulated threading and how hair removal legislation needs to catch up with actual practice. However if practicing technicians needed a hair removal license how would that be granted as there is no official training? It’s a bit of a catch 22.
