Waxing Services

Hair should be approximately 1/4 inch (6mm) long — about the length of a grain of rice.

This usually means:

• 2-3 weeks after shaving
• 4-6 weeks after your last wax

Why length matters:

• Too short: Wax can't grip the hair properly
• Too long: More uncomfortable and may break

If your hair is too long, we can trim it before waxing.

There is some discomfort, but it's quick and manageable for most people.

Factors that affect pain levels:

• Area being waxed (some areas are more sensitive)
• Your personal pain tolerance
• Time of month (more sensitive during menstruation)
• First wax vs regular waxing (gets easier over time!)

Tips to minimise discomfort:

• ✔ Avoid caffeine before your appointment
• ✔ Take ibuprofen 30 minutes before
• ✔ Exfoliate 24-48 hours before
• ✔ Breathe deeply during the wax

Waxing results typically last 3-6 weeks, depending on your hair growth cycle.

What to expect:

• Week 1-2: Smooth, hair-free skin
• Week 3-4: Fine regrowth begins
• Week 4-6: Ready for your next appointment

With regular waxing, hair often grows back finer and sparser over time, and results can last even longer.

Yes! We use gentle waxes suitable for sensitive skin.

What we do for sensitive skin:

• Use high-quality, gentle wax formulas
• Apply soothing products after waxing
• Work in small sections to minimise irritation

Please let us know if you:

• Use retinol or strong skincare acids
• Are on acne medication (Accutane)
• Have had recent sun exposure or sunburn
• Have any skin conditions in the wax area

Before waxing:

• ✔ Exfoliate 24-48 hours before
• ✔ Avoid sun exposure and tanning
• ✔ Don't apply lotions on the day
• ✔ Wear loose, comfortable clothing
• ✘ Don't shave between appointments

After waxing:

• ✔ Avoid heat (hot baths, saunas, gym) for 24 hours
• ✔ Wear loose clothing to prevent friction
• ✔ Exfoliate after 48 hours to prevent ingrown hairs
• ✔ Moisturise daily
• ✘ Avoid sun exposure on freshly waxed skin

Waxing offers several advantages over shaving:

• Longer-lasting: 3-6 weeks vs 1-3 days
• Finer regrowth: Hair grows back softer, not stubbly
• No razor burn: No cuts, nicks, or irritation
• Exfoliation: Removes dead skin cells too
• Less frequent: Saves time in the long run

The main trade-off is the initial discomfort and needing to grow hair between sessions. Most clients find the benefits far outweigh this!
