What is waxing - hair removal?

What is waxing - hair removal?
This an alternative to hair removal creams or gets and shaving. You can wax your legs, arms, underarms, upper lip, chin, eyebrows, bikini or have a Brazilian wax.
What to expect?
When you arrive, you'll be taken to a private waxing area, depending on the area you wish to wax, the therapist will cleanse & prepare you for the waxing treatment.
Does waxing hurt?
While the benefits of waxing are without question, some women still see the treatment as too painful to endure. Not any more! You can now experience a relatively pain free method of waxing.
Is waxing just for women?
No, this service is also available for men who would like to remove hair on their backs, neckline, eyebrows and ears.
Why not just shave?
Shaving stimulates potential hair growth & strengthen the hair follicle. Shaving also cuts the hair, which re-grows with a "stubbly" feel.
Will the hair grow back darker and thicker after waxing?
No, on the contrary, it comes back softer, thinner and weaker over time. The more often you wax, the better. We recommend that you do not shave in between waxing.
Can i do my own waxing?
Yes & no. It depends on the area & the amount of hair needed to be waxed. We do not recommend that you wax delicate area by yourself.
What about ingrown hair?
This varies from individual to individual, due to the random direction of hair growth in the area, ingrown are possible. To avoid this, we recommend that you adhere to the after- wax regime of exfoliation and more exfoliation and to use an after wax cream to sooth the area treated.
What should I avoid before and after a waxing treatment?
• If you are using
accutane, or any other anti- acne drugs, please consult with your doctor before a wax, these medications can sometimes thin the skin which can cause skin to be removed with the wax.
• If you are using
RetinA, you should not wax the area being treated.
• Do not swim, suntan or work out right after a wax as this could cause the skin to breakout.
• You are advised to give yourself a scrub on the area being treated, this will help reduce ingrown.
