Hot wax is spread onto the skin over a layer of oil and is allowed to dry before it is quickly but gently peeled away. The benefits include fewer in-grown hairs, less breakage and longer re-growth periods. The wax also promotes skin hydration and is highly recommended for sensitive areas. Unlike it’s name suggests, Hot Wax should never actually feel hot on the skin. Hot Wax is used on intimate and underarm 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.
Regular exfoliation and moisturising between waxing treatments helps reduce instances of ingrown hairs. We also recommend the use of Wax:One ‘Care’ a gentle soothing lotion to prevent and treat ingrown hairs. Wax:One is a high quality waxing system with Grapefruit & Kiwi which helps to soften & sooth the waxing experience.
Every person has a different pain threshold and also experiences 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.
We have had many clients come in so nervous about their first wax and have literally said… they dont know what they were worried about!

It’s recommend that leg hair needs to be about the length of a grain of rice prior to waxing.
Generally, we ask for at least 3 weeks of growth time prior to your waxing treatment.
The longer you can go with out shaving before your wax, the better the wax outcome will be.
This is totally fine, don’t stress!
If you are comfortable, we are happy to proceed, but would ask you to use a tampon (or menstrual cup if you prefer).
We provide a fresh wipe with every intimate waxing appointment, for wee freshen up.
