Waxing
A quick and effective treatment to wave bye bye to stubble and say hello to silky smooth skin!
Legs/chest/back…
The area to be waxed is sanitised, then warm wax is applied and removed with paper wax strips.
At the end of the treatment a soothing and cooling after wax lotion will be applied. This will help to prevent irritation or infection.
Smaller areas…
A choice of warm or hot wax to the smaller more sensitive areas. Hot wax is more beneficial to use in areas where the hair is shorter and coarser, it grabs onto the hair and not the skin making it less abrasive to the skin. Areas will be sanitised prior to application of wax and a soothing, cooling after lotion applied following hair removal.

To ensure best results…..

It is quite normal to feel some slight soreness, have some small bumps and redness following waxing. This is a temporary reaction, especially if this is your first wax. You can apply aloe vera or ice to the treated area to help alleviate. Always wash your hands before applying any products.
