A burly chick rips wax off your ’stache — about as glam as the time you contracted a fungus from the corner nail salon.

Longing for a chicer approach to beauty? Thread, a new loft-like spa, may be the answer.

Technicians there do threading (eyebrows, upper lip, chin), facials, waxing, and nail services. Products are botanically based and polishes are chemical free.

Stop by on Wednesdays for Martini and Manicure Nights, when lingering while lacquering is encouraged. They’ll also help you coordinate a private party for you and your hirsute friends. You’ll reconnect with pals and with easy-breezy beauty.

And leave those hairy experiences behind.
