I have a fully equipped treatment room at my property. You will lie or sit on a treatment couch.

Waxing is the removal of hair by the root using a combination of Strip Wax (Soft) and Non Strip Wax (Hard).  Strip wax is applied to the skin and then removed using a thin strip of paper. Non Strip wax hardens once applied to the skin. This means it can be removed without the need for a paper strip. Non strip is normally used on the nostrils, ears, under arms and intimate areas.

The waxing process is as follows:

Cleanse – First the area being waxed will be wiped with cleansing lotion to remove any natural oils so the wax can get a good grip.

Oil – A barrier oil will then be applied to the area. This prevents the wax sticking to the skin.

Wax – Strip Wax – A thin layer of wax is applied to the skin in the direction of hair growth.  A thin paper strip is then applied over the wax and pressed down. The skin will then be stretched slightly to keep it taut and the paper strip will be removed very quickly in the opposite direction to the hair growth. Pressure is then applied to the area to reduce any sting. 

Wax – Non Strip – A thicker layer of wax is applied to the skin in the direction of hair growth. It is then left for a few seconds to harden. Again the skin will be stretched slightly to keep it taut and the wax will be removed in ‘short bursts’ to minimise any discomfort.

Tweezers – Once the area has been waxed, it will then be checked for any short or stubborn hairs that remain. These will be removed with tweezers.

Oil – A small amount of oil will be rubbed over the area using a paper strip. This will remove any remaining wax from the skin.

Cleanse – The waxed area will then be cleansed again.  This will remove any remaining oil from the skin and clean the area.

Gel and Lotion – A soothing combination of gel and moisturising lotion will be applied to the area to help care for the skin once you leave.

Yes, but not as much as you probably think.  The pain is similar to being flicked with a plastic ruler or pinged with an elastic band. The pain is very short and subsides very quickly. Once the wax is removed, slight pressure is applied to the area, this and the use of good waxes will ensure any discomfort is kept to a minimum.  The first time is the worst. Any pain or discomfort will get substantially less with any subsequent waxing.

There may be some soreness and redness to the area for a few hours after the waxing,  The first 2 or 3 times you are waxed, you may experience small white pimples on your chest or back over the area where the hair follicles are. 
These are quite common and can last for a few days. We suggest keeping the area clean.

Any contagious skin conditions will prevent treatment  in the area until the condition has completely cleared.  Clients taking Roaccutane must wait 6 months after finishing their medication before receiving a waxing treatment. 
I cannot wax broken or sunburnt skin.  Skin that has been treated with steroid creams, Retin-A, Differin or other retinoid acne products cannot be waxed for 3 months after medication has finished. I cannot wax an area affected by an active or contagious skin condition or infection. If you’re unsure whether it is safe to wax, please contact me before booking.

We would not recommend having your first wax before you go on holiday or before any special occasion as the area may be red and sore for a while after the treatment.  We would suggest having a couple of treatments 4 or 5 weeks apart  and then a further treatment a few days before your holiday.

Don’t panic! I Understand that you may be feeling anxious and self conscious but remember I am providing a professional hair removal service and my top priority is to make you feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible. Some clients experience temporary physical arousal in response to the manipulation of their genitals. There is no need to be embarrassed if this happens – it is a physiological response and usually subsides fairly rapidly.

If possible be clean and showered before arriving,  but don’t worry too much if this is not possible as you will be given wipes to freshen up in private before the treatment. Do not use hair removal creams or shave the area being waxed for at least 3 weeks before your treatment. If you wax already, please leave at least 4 weeks between treatments.

This depends on what you are having waxed and how hairy you are. I can give you a better idea when we know what you are having treated, but please allow a minimum of 30 minutes for any treatment.

This varies from person to person and depends if you wax regularly. New hair growth that is about to break through the skin at the time of your treatment will not be removed. This may give the impression that the waxing was not very successful. It would normally take 3 or 4 regular appointments to get on a hair growth cycle that will produce the best results.  Unlike shaving or hair removal creams, hair grows back slower and softer.

Please check my price list to see the price ranges.

If you can’t bear the thought of waxing, I offer a clippering service. Like your barber, I use Wahl trimmers to shorten and tidy excess hair.
