Face threading

This is a beauty treatment that removes the facial hairs by the roots. Women who were getting married traditional had this treatment. It's still popular in Taipei, you can see it in night markets and sometimes in the park. The skills are kept within the families.

 

I'm not sure whether this is unique to Taiwan. I imagined it was practiced in China but whether it survived the cultural revolution, I don't know

 

If you know anything more about face threading, then please leave a comment - I want to find out more.
