Our Hot Waxing Treatments:

Hot wax, also known as hard wax, is a hair removal method where a thick, honey-like wax is applied directly to the skin, allowed to cool and harden, and then removed without a strip, taking the hair with it.

BEFORE YOUR WAXING APPOINTMENT:

• Hair should be between 1-2cm long for waxing to be effective
• Allow 3-4 weeks of hair growth before your appointment.
• Exfoliate 2-3 times per week, especially 2-3 days before your treatment.
• Stop using retinol, chemical peels, or any skin-sensitizing products in the treatment area at least 72 hours prior.
• Please inform us if you are taking any medication that may affect your waxing results (such as blood thinners, Retin-A, Accutane or similar products).
• Avoid tanning, sun exposure, saunas, steam rooms and heat treatments for 24 hours before your appointment.

ON THE DAY OF YOUR APPOINTMENT:

• Take a warm shower beforehand to help open the pores for easier hair removal
• Do not apply moisturiser to the treatment area
• Wear loose-fitting clothing to your appointment

AFTER WAXING APPOINTMENT:

FIRST 24–72 HOURS AFTER:

• Avoid all heat treatments including sunbathing, sunbeds, steam rooms and saunas.
• Avoid swimming and exercise for 24 hours.
• Wear loose-fitting clothing to prevent friction and irritation.
• Avoid touching the treated area.
• Use only lukewarm water when bathing or showering.
• Do not apply perfumed soaps, body lotions, talcum powder or deodorant to the treated area.
• Avoid applying makeup to any waxed area.

ONGOING CARE AND MAINTENANCE

• Begin gentle exfoliation and moisturising 48 hours after your treatment to help prevent ingrown hairs.
• Leave a minimum of 4 weeks between waxing appointments.
• Results typically improve with regular waxing, often from your 4th treatment onwards.
