WAXING

Both our waxes are VEGAN friendly. An oil is applied under our Hot wax before we spread thickly onto the skin and allowed to dry slightly before its gently peeled away. The oil stops the wax adhering to the skin and only applies to the hair therefore stops the wax pulling the skin, which results in a much more comfortable treatment. The benefits include fewer in-grown hairs, less breakage and therefore longer re-growth periods. The wax also promotes the skin hydration and is highly recommended for sensitive areas. Strip wax is recommended for thicker/less sensitive skin, for example legs, arms, back , chest and shoulders. A thin layer of wax is applied to the skin and is then removed using a paper strip.

The wax we use is a luxury range of waxes and matching pre and after products all of which are Vegan friendly. Adam and Eve Waxes are formulated in Australia, by Tina and Geoff Copland and are 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 an upper lip and eyebrow wax on the same day of their event and find they leave with little or no redness to the skin.

Our hot wax can grab hairs as short as 1mm in length. Our strip wax can remover hair as short as 2mm. Everyone has different growth cycle but we are generally able to wax areas that have been shaved 2 weeks earlier. However with larger parts of the body like arms/legs, we suggest leaving it 4 weeks before waxing it. Clients that have not wax or shaved for a long period of time need not worry as our therapists will trim the hair to a suitable length for waxing.

Waxing during pregnancy is very popular especially now that people know that our wax is less painful. Our therapists are trained to ensure that all parts of the body are waxed comfortably and safely. The Brazilian or Hollywood wax is a very popular treatment one week or before the due date.

Every person has a different pain threshold and also experience waxing differently, however if you maintain your waxing regularly, most find it easier as the hairs become thinner, lighter and more sparse after a few treatments. A highly trainer waxing specialist is trained to minimise any discomfort. Once you try Hot wax you will never go back!

You may notice a small amount of growth after a week or so. It can take up to 3 treatments for your hair to get into a growth cycle that gives best results. We recommend waxing every 4 weeks to maintain your smooth appearance.
