The staff at Taj Threading use nothing more than a single piece of cotton thread and a pair of hands to erase any traces of unwanted facial hair. Trained in the US and India, they twist the thread around each individual hair on upper lips or cheeks, pulling it out in a swift motion. While threading is the preferred method for faces, including eyebrows, the technicians switch over to wax when removing hair from bikini areas. Other pampering services include European facials and henna tattoos, which decorate hands and arms with intricate swirls, flowers, or hard-to-remember mathematical formulas.
