Course overview
Originating from Asia and the middle east, threading is an alternative to waxing and removes hair from the root. Using a twisted thin piece of cotton, the hair is removed in a quick motion.
Threading is better for sensitive skin, and hair can take up to 4 weeks to grow back!
Through our threading course online, you will learn the perfect technique for removing hair with cotton. Threading is popular for eyebrows and facial hair removal.
Learn through a mixture of online video tutorials and eBooks. Learn at your own pace, in your own environment and take as long as you need!
Successful students receive an accredited diploma from both the ABT and IPHM which means you can apply for professional insurance so you can offer treatments to clients straight away!
When you enrol on this course, you can add on the professional kit you need to complete the course and an optional live 2-3 hour interactive session. This is a face to face training session that is accessed through a virtual classroom, where your tutor will clearly explain the theory and demonstrate how to perform the treatment. You’ll get the chance to discuss any issues you may be experiencing, and gain invaluable feedback from your tutor. This method of training is ideal because you can log in from anywhere, providing you have a reliable internet connection, and on any device, which saves you the time and cost of travelling to a training centre.
