Waxing

A: Shaving makes waxing more difficult because you cut the hair off rather than remove it from the root. Hair that is shaved grows back coarser and thicker, making it more difficult to remove and hurting more when removed, whereas waxing removes hair at the roots and hair grows back finer and eventually sparser. We can remove hair that has been shaved, no problem.

A: The wax we use is designed to promote skin hydration and care for the skin with various essential-oil based ingredients. Our wax also eliminates the “freshly plucked chicken” effect that many other waxes cause. Therefore, having to do a Brazilian a good 24 hours before the hot date is now a thing of the past! Many of our clients also come in for upper lip and eyebrow waxing on the same day of their event and find they leave with little or no redness to the skin.

A: Our hard wax can grab hair as short as 1/16 of an inch in length. Our strip wax can remove hair as short as 1/8. Everyone has a different growth cycle but we are generally able to wax areas that have been shaved one week earlier. However with larger parts of the body like arms/legs, we suggest leaving it three weeks before waxing.

A: Every person has different pain thresholds and experiences waxing differently. However, with regular waxing, most find it becomes easier as the hairs become thinner, lighter and sparser after a few treatments. Our specialized hard wax and expertly trained/experienced aestheticians make waxing as pain-free as possible.

A: You may notice a small amount of regrowth after a week or so. It can take up to 4 treatments for your hair to get on a growth cycle that gives best results. To maintain your smooth appearance, we recommend regular waxing every 4 weeks, 3 weeks if you want even less pain.

A: We make you as comfortable as possible and appreciate the fact you are trusting us with such a personal service.

A: Keep the waxed area clean, and avoid heat and friction during the next 24 hours. This means: No hot baths or showers (warm water only). No saunas, hot tubs or steam treatments. No tanning (sunbathing, sunbeds or fake tans). No sport, gym work or other exercise. Avoid scratching or touching the treated area with unwashed hands. Avoid swimming in chlorinated pools. Do not apply deodorants, body sprays, powders, lotions or other products to the area, other than those recommended by your therapist for 24 hours. Please note: some slight soreness, small bumps and redness are common and perfectly normal temporary reactions, particularly if this is your first wax. These symptoms should subside over 24-48 hours. If you experience persistent redness or irritation, or if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

A: When coming for your appointment we ask that any children coming must be supervised at all times and be restrained in either a stroller, or be able to sit unassisted in the reception area. Due to health and safety protocol, they are not permitted in the treatment rooms.
