Waxing is a way of removing unwanted hair from the root. New hair will not grow back in the previously waxed area for four to six weeks, although some people will start to see regrowth in only a week due to some of their hair being on a different growth cycle. Almost any area of the body can be waxed, including eyebrows, face, under arms, legs and many more see below for our list of areas.
There are many types of waxing suitable for removing unwanted body hair.
We use 3 different types of wax depending on the area that the hair is being removed from the wax, we use will depend on the sensitivity of the area, skin type and preference.
There is 2 types of strip wax, 1 being Cream and the other being Honey wax. Strip waxing is accomplished by spreading thinly over the area of hair wishing to be removed . A cloth or paper strip is applied and pressed firmly, adhering the strip to the wax and the wax to the skin. The strip is then quickly ripped against the direction of hair growth, this removes the wax along with the hair. Cream wax tends to be better for more sensitive skin. The other type of wax we use hard wax which is fantastic for course hair on bikini lines and pubic areas.
Hard wax is applied thicker onto the skin ,left to cool then peeled off without a strip. The wax cools around the hair rather than onto the skin therefore making it less painful.

Most waxing is self explanatory but here is a guide to help you make your choice.
Legs- Half leg is from the ankle including toes, up to just above the knee. 3/4 leg is to half way up your thigh. Full leg is from toes to the top of your thigh Arms- Under arms is your armpit area Forearm is the lower top side of your arm Arms are top side from shoulder to wrist excluding the armpit Pubic Area- Bikini wax is anything from just outside the panty line to slightly higher in the panty line and some off the top. Brazilian wax is where all hair is removed off the bikini line, front all the way to the back (yes by your bum). Leaving a small landing strip or triangle at the front. Hollywood wax removes all of it. The bottom line, you won't have any pubic hair left. Please tell the therapist your own preferences of where and how much hair you want removed or left. They can adjust the treatment to make it whatever you wish. |
