What is VAJACIAL TREATMENT?
When you initially heard about VAJACIAL treatments, whether you eavesdropped on talk about them in your salon, heard about them from your friends, or saw something about them online, your first thought was probably something along the lines of…what is that?
Don’t worry – you’re not alone! VAJACIAL TREATMENTS are the newest hot topic in a lot of salon environments, but their name or concept might be a bit confusing to those who haven’t heard of them prior.
THE VAJACIAL TREATMENT PROCESS:
The VAJACIAL begins with a steam, usually consisting of essential oils, to loosen any ingrown hairs, dirt or blockages in the skin. This is followed by an extractio0n of the dirt or ingrowns form the vulva or pubic area. Your esthetician will then apply a mask to soothe the skin and draw out any deep blockages or embedded ingrowns. This will also soothe any redness or irritation that might occur following the sugaring or waxing process.
After the the mask is removed, your esthetician will use a wand to zap any additional bacteria that might still be on the skin and guard against any future ingrowns, before toning the skin brightening treatment to correct discoloration or dark areas.

Threading (epilation) – From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, This article is about hair removal.
Eyebrow threading – Man having his eyebrows threaded for the first time
Threading is a method of hair removal for both men and women originating in India and Central Asia. It has gained popularity in Western countries, especially with a cosmetic application (particularly for removing/shaping eyebrows).
Technique
In threading, a thin cotton or polyester thread is doubled, then twisted. It is then rolled over areas of unwanted hair, plucking the hair at the follicle level. Unlike tweezing, where single hairs are pulled out one at a time, threading can remove short rows of hair.
Advantages cited for eyebrow threading, as opposed to eyebrow waxing, include that it provides more precise control in shaping eyebrows, and that it is gentler on the skin. A disadvantage is that it can be painful, as several hairs are removed at once; however, it can be minimized if done correctly, i.e. with the right pressure.

There are different techniques for threading: the hand method, mouth method, and neck method. Each technique has advantages and disadvantages; however, the mouth method is the fastest and most precise.
Threading allows for a more defined and precise shape and can create better definition for eyebrows. It is also used as a method of removing unwanted hair on the entire face and upper lip area. Threading is not a good method for removing hair on arms or legs, as the hair in those regions is typically quite coarse and there is too much to remove.
History
Eyebrow threading is a centuries-old technique that began in the Middle East and South Asia. In some countries, it signified rites of passages such as preparation for marriage.
Threading became popular in the United States beginning in the late 1980s, when immigrants from these countries began setting up threading studios in large American cities. It has increased in popularity since then. According to The Guardian, in the United Kingdom, online searches for threading services increased by 50% in 2015.
