FAQs and waxing advice

Please arrive clean and smelling good. If you are having intimate waxing and anything inappropriate is said or done, you will be asked to pay and leave whether or not your treatment is finished. I only do waxing so please don’t embarrass yourself by asking for extras.

How long does the hair need to be?

The hair should be no shorter than a grain of rice. If the hair is too short I cannot take responsibility if it cannot all be removed. If you have intimate waxing, the longer the hair, the more painful it will be, so you can trim the hair before your appointment if you wish. If you’re unsure then please leave it and I will trim if necessary.

How long do I need to wait after shaving before I can get a wax?

If you have shaved you need to wait 3 weeks to ensure the growth is the minimum length for waxing. 

How long will the results last?

You should see minimal regrowth during the first 3 weeks with a noticeable increase after that. Regular waxing encourages slower, sparser regrowth.

How often should I be waxed?

Ideally every 4-6 weeks.

Waxing aftercare

For 24 hours after you have been waxed, avoid sun exposure, deodorant, hot showers or baths, chlorinated pools, solariums, spas, saunas and exercise, as these will irritate the skin. Good hygiene and light exfoliation a couple of times a week are very important to avoid folliculitis and ingrown hairs. Keep your skin moisturised.

And finally

For those that embarrass easily – if you’re having intimate waxing you’ll have to get naked from the waist down. Don’t worry, I’ve seen it all before!
