Services
Eyebrow Threading
Precision eyebrow threading removes hair at the root, creating natural, defined brows. Ideal for sensitive skin, this chemical-free method lasts 3-6 weeks. Our experts tailor shapes to complement facial features, ensuring symmetry and comfort. Clients appreciate minimal pain and immediate results.
Body Sugaring
Body sugaring uses a plant-based paste to remove hair gently, reducing ingrown hairs. Suitable for large areas like legs and arms, results last 4-6 weeks. Our technicians customize treatments for skin sensitivity, offering a eco-friendly alternative to traditional waxing with less irritation.
Brow Tinting
Brow tinting enhances sparse or light brows with semi-permanent dye. Lasting 4-6 weeks, it complements hair color and skin tone. We use hypoallergenic dyes and conduct patch tests to ensure safety. Clients enjoy fuller, defined brows without daily makeup application.
Men's Waxing
Men's waxing targets coarse hair on the back, chest, and shoulders. We employ hard wax for precision and less discomfort. Sessions include consultation to address sensitivity concerns, ensuring a clean, masculine finish. Regular treatments reduce regrowth density over time.
Prenatal Waxing
Prenatal waxing offers safe, consulting-driven hair removal for expectant mothers. We use gentle techniques and avoid harsh chemicals. Services focus on comfort and hygiene, adapting positions to accommodate pregnancy stages while maintaining skin health and safety.

I have been going to Mariam for the past couple months for eyebrow threading and she is very meticulous and knows how to make my natural brows look so good. She is honestly the best in the Richmond, Virginia area and I recommend her for all your eyebrow needs!

I have been coming to Short Pump Threading for about about 8 years. I was referred by a friend. I never thought about threading before coming Short Pump Threading. I love it!! Mariam has gotten my brows straight. They were a mess but now they are really thick and full. Mariam is really sweet and very professional. She sends me text messages when it is time for me to return. I would highly recommend coming to Short Pump Threading!!

Miriam is amazing. Very detailed and pain free. Miriam has my brows looking fabulous- people are always asking me and my daughter who does our brows now that we started getting our services from Miriam. She is also very flexible and will set an appointment with us when it works for us. She is super fast and that doesnt take away from my gorgeous brows! We love it here! So much so we just received our first underarm waxing- again this is flawless and fast. She is VERY clean and hygienic!
