Get answers to common questions about Half Sides.

Most clients enjoy smooth sideburns for about two to six weeks, depending on individual hair growth rates and hormones. Regular appointments every four to six weeks maintain a consistently groomed look and slower, finer regrowth over time.

Threading is generally well tolerated; you may feel brief pinching or pulling as hairs are removed. Our technicians work carefully to minimize discomfort, and the procedure is fast. Topical soothing products can be applied afterward if needed.

Come with clean, makeup-free skin. Avoid heavy exfoliation, waxing, or harsh chemical treatments 48–72 hours before your appointment. Inform us about any skin conditions, medications, or recent cosmetic procedures so we can adapt technique safely.

Avoid touching, hot showers, saunas, and heavy sweating for 24 hours. Gently apply a soothing gel or aloe and use SPF if going outdoors. Skip strong exfoliants or retinoids for two to three days to prevent irritation.

Half Sides focuses only on the lower portion of the facial sides and sideburn area, offering targeted shaping. Full side facial threading includes a larger area and may adjust cheek and temple hairs for a more comprehensive cleanse.

Yes, often suitable, but sensitivity varies. We’ll assess your skin beforehand and proceed gently. For active acne, open lesions, or severe irritation we may delay treatment or recommend alternatives to avoid aggravation and promote safe healing.
