Waxing

Waxing is a highly effective method of hair removal that lifts hair straight from the root, leaving skin feeling smooth and stubble-free for longer. For the best results, hair should be at least ¼ inch long-any shorter and the wax may not grip effectively. With regular treatments, hair often grows back finer and sparser over time.


Warm Wax vs. Hot Wax – What’s the Difference?

Warm Wax
Perfect for larger areas, warm wax is applied directly to the skin and removed using strips. It’s quick, efficient, and ideal for:

  • Legs
  • Arms
  • Bikini line

Hot Wax
This wax is applied slightly warmer and hardens around each hair, gripping more effectively. It’s strip-free, gentler on sensitive skin, and great for removing shorter or finer hairs. Best used for:

  • Bikini line
  • Facial hair
  • Eyebrows

Whether you're after a smooth finish on your legs or a precise brow shape, there’s a waxing method suited just for you.

Aftercare

Caring for your skin after waxing is just as important as the treatment itself. A little post-wax TLC will help keep your skin smooth, happy, and bump-free.

It’s completely normal to experience slight redness, sensitivity, or small bumps after waxing-especially if it’s your first time. These usually calm down within 24–48 hours.

To help your skin recover, avoid the following for 48 hours after your wax:

  • Hot baths or showers (stick to cool or lukewarm water)
  • Saunas, steam rooms, hot tubs, or massages
  • Sunbathing, sunbeds, and fake tan
  • Intense exercise or anything that causes friction
  • Touching the area with unwashed hands
  • Tight or synthetic clothing-go for loose, breathable fabrics

Preventing Ingrown Hairs
After 3 days, gently exfoliate the area with a dry brush or exfoliating mitt to remove dead skin cells and keep pores clear. This helps new hairs grow through without getting trapped. Follow with daily moisturising to keep the skin soft and smooth.

Keep in mind: You might notice a few hairs reappearing within a week—this is completely normal. It can take up to 4 waxes to sync your hair growth cycle for optimal, long-lasting results.


✨ Rebook every 4–6 weeks for beautifully smooth skin that lasts.
