What is waxing and threading?
Waxing removes hair from the skin so it stays smooth for weeks, and threading shapes hair with a thread — mostly for eyebrows and facial hair. Both are done at the salon in Phase 2, Hayatabad. Waxing is for larger areas like arms and legs; threading is for the small, precise work around the brows and face.
Hair removal is one of the most-booked services at the salon, and it is easy to see why. Shaving lasts a day or two; waxing lasts weeks, and the hair comes back finer over time. Clients book it before a wedding function, before Eid, and as regular care — arms, legs and underarms in summer, and brows kept in shape all year round.
Waxing is uncomfortable for a moment — that is the honest answer, and the salon will not pretend otherwise. But it is quick, and it is over fast. If you are worried, message the salon first and ask what to expect for the area you want done. The salon will tell you plainly, and you can decide before you come in.
Waxing
The salon waxes arms, legs, face and underarms, and offers full-body waxing too. Tell the salon which area you want done when you book, and it will confirm it and give you the price.
Arms
Arm waxing is the one clients book most often in summer, when sleeves go short. It covers the full arm, and it is one of the quickest areas — a good first wax if you have never had one before, because it is over fast.
Legs
Leg waxing covers the full leg or the lower leg — say which you want when you book. It is the area clients book before a wedding function or a holiday, because smooth legs last through the event and beyond.
Face
Facial waxing is for the small areas — upper lip, chin, cheeks. It is quick, and the salon will tell you what to expect for your skin. If your facial skin is sensitive, say so when you book, so the salon can advise you.
Underarms
Underarm waxing is quick and lasts weeks. It is one of the most regular bookings at the salon — many clients book it every few weeks as routine, and it fits into a visit with a facial or a manicure.
Full body
Full-body waxing covers several areas in one visit. Tell the salon which areas you want done when you book, and it will confirm the slot, the order, and the price for the whole booking — so you know what the visit covers before you arrive.
Threading & eyebrows
Threading is available for eyebrows and facial hair, and the salon also does plucking. Threading shapes with a thread, while waxing removes the hair with wax — the better one depends on your skin and the shape you want, so ask the salon when you book.
Eyebrow shaping
Eyebrow shaping is the small job that changes the whole face. Threading shapes the brow with a thread, line by line, so the shape is precise. Tell the salon what shape you want — or ask it to suggest one that suits your face.
Plucking
Plucking is for the stray hairs threading does not catch, and for tidying up between threading visits. It is done at the salon with the facial and waxing services, so a tidy-up fits into any visit.
Threading or waxing for brows — which one?
Both are done at the salon, and the better one depends on your skin and the shape you want. Threading is precise and suits sensitive skin around the eyes; waxing is faster for a larger area. Ask the salon when you book — it will look at your brows and tell you honestly which it would use.
| Method | Used for | Ask about |
|---|---|---|
| Waxing | Arms, legs, face, underarms, full body | Which areas, and the price per area |
| Threading | Eyebrows and facial hair, precise shaping | Which suits your skin and brow shape |
Who is waxing for — and who should ask first?
Waxing is for anyone who wants smooth skin that lasts — before a wedding function, before Eid, or as regular care. It suits arms, legs, face and underarms, and it suits anyone who is tired of shaving every other day. If you have never had a wax before, that is fine too: tell the salon it is your first time, and it will explain what to expect.
Tell the salon first if your skin is sensitive, or if you have a skin condition — tell the salon when you book, so it can say whether waxing is right for you now, or whether threading fits better. Say so too if your skin has reacted to wax before, or if you have had a skin treatment recently: the salon needs to know, so it can choose what to use and what to avoid. That is not a medical call; it is the salon wanting to know about your skin before the waxing starts.
What happens in a waxing appointment?
A waxing appointment is a short visit. You name the area when you book, the price is confirmed before anything starts, and the visit runs in the order below.
- Say what you want done. Tell the salon the area — arms, legs, face, underarms, or full body — and whether you want waxing or threading.
- The salon confirms the price. Waxing is priced by the area, so the salon gives you the price before the appointment starts.
- The waxing is done. The salon waxes the area, section by section, and finishes with the skin cared for.
- Aftercare, in plain words. Before you leave, the salon explains what to do afterwards — and what to avoid.
How long does a waxing appointment take? [CONFIRM — ask for the usual time for your area when you book.] A single area is quick; a full-body booking takes longer, so say which areas you want when you message, and ask what time to keep free.
How to prepare for waxing
Come with the area clean and dry, and let the salon know about your skin when you book — especially if it is sensitive or reacts easily. The salon will tell you anything else to do before the appointment, and what to avoid afterwards, so the visit goes smoothly.
- Tell the salon about your skin. If it is sensitive, or if it has reacted to wax before, say so when you book.
- Come with the area clean. Wash the area before you come, and do not put creams or oils on it just before the appointment.
- Wear something loose. Loose clothing is kinder to the skin after waxing than tight clothes.
- Ask about timing. If you have a function coming up, ask the salon how many days before it to book, so the skin has time to settle.
How much does waxing cost?
Waxing and threading are priced by the area, so the salon gives you the price when you book — there is no price list on this site. WhatsApp or call with the area you want done and ask for the price.
What changes the price:
- The area. Arms, legs, face and underarms are priced on their own; full body is priced for the whole booking.
- Waxing or threading. Threading and waxing are different services, priced on their own.
- What else you book. Waxing with a facial or a manicure in the same visit changes the total — ask the salon to quote the full visit in one price.
Call 091-5839119 or WhatsApp 0313 9333377 with the area you want done and ask for the price. Ask when you book, so you know the cost before you come in — the price you are given is the price you pay.
After waxing — how to look after your skin
Before you leave, the salon explains what to do after waxing in plain words — what to avoid in the first day and how to care for the skin. Ask about it when you book, so the aftercare is clear before the appointment starts.
A few things help the skin settle. Keep the waxed area clean and simple in the first day, and wear loose clothing so nothing rubs the skin. Stay out of strong sun if the salon tells you to, and do not put anything new on the skin until it has settled. If the skin feels sore, tell the salon — it will say what to do. And when the hair starts to come back, book again rather than shaving in between, so the smooth result lasts.

Gentle care
Our clients describe waxing at the salon as gentle and quick. The words below are their words, from verbatim Google reviews — not a claim by the salon. Waxing is uncomfortable for a moment, and every person feels it differently, so if you are worried, message the salon first and ask what to expect for the area you want done.
Mistakes and myths about waxing
Mistakes to avoid
The most common mistake is shaving between waxes. It undoes the smooth result and makes the next wax harder, because the hair comes back at different lengths. Wait for your next wax instead. The second is booking a wax for the morning of a wedding function: the skin needs a day or two to settle, so book ahead of the event, not on it. The third is not saying what your skin is like — if it is sensitive, or if it reacted last time, say so when you book, so the salon can advise you.
Myths
Waxing does not make hair grow back thicker. The hair comes back finer over time, and the smooth result lasts weeks — how long depends on your hair and how often you wax. Waxing is not only for legs either: arms, face and underarms are waxed just as often, and threading keeps brows in shape all year. And one wax does not keep skin smooth for good — it is regular care, and the result holds when you come back.
Waxing and other services
Waxing pairs well with the salon's other services. Many clients book it with a facial in the same visit — the face is cared for and the brows are shaped together in one visit. If you want hair removal that lasts longer, read about laser hair removal — the salon can tell you which one fits your skin. And if your visit is for a function, waxing goes well with a manicure and pedicure — smooth skin and tidy nails, all done before the event.
Real clients
The two reviews below are from Google — clients writing about their waxing, word for word. More are on the reviews page.
“I had my waxing session with Lubna at Sansha yesterday and had a wonderful experience. She was extremely hygienic, gentle, and took the time to explain each step. The entire process was comfortable with no pain or rashes. The salon itself is very clean and maintains professional standards. I highly recommend Lubna for anyone looking for a painless and hygienic wax. Will definitely be coming back!”
“Lubna did my wax and this is my 8 wax session with her and she's so kind polite and well behaved. Am so satisfied with her.”
