Below you will find useful information about the benefits of waxing and tips for the best result.

1. Benefits of Waxing

Waxing is considered to be the most effective method for removing unwanted hairs from practically any part of the body. Waxing is the epilation method which ensures complete removal of hair shafts from underneath surface of the skin Waxing removes hair from the root, so it takes a longer time for hair to grow again- anywhere from 3-8 weeks, depending on the individual speed of hair growth. This means your hair free, smooth skin lasts much longer

2. Why Choose Waxing?

The benefits of waxing are many:

Smooth, Silky Skin that Lasts

Waxing removes hair from the root, so it takes a longer time for hair to grow again- anywhere from 3-8 weeks, depending on the individual speed of hair growth. This means your hair free, smooth skin lasts much longer and you can go for that holiday on the beach and bask in the glory of your enviably smooth and glowing skin without having to worry about body hair showing up in the meantime.

No Skin Damage

In contrast to other methods of hair removal like hair-removing creams and shaving, waxing does not cause cuts, pigmentation, or badly smelling skin. No harsh chemicals are present in wax, so, the skin is saved from their damaging effect. Even the wax used for the process is 100% natural hence the chances of reaction due to harsh chemicals are zero

Finer and Softer Body Hair

The hair that grows after waxing is of a finer and softer variety, not rough and hard as after shaving. And the really good thing is - waxing does not cause an ugly stubble as seen in just a day after shaving.

Double Function of Hair Removal and Exfoliation

Waxing leaves the skin soft, smooth and rejuvenated because it also removes a layer of dead cells from the surface of the skin, and thus, indirectly serves the function of exfoliating the skin as well.

Waxing Diminishes Hair Growth

After repeated sessions of waxing, you will notice a much sparser hair growth, and hair growth may even stop eventually. In contrast, shaving stimulates hair growth, because it removes hair at the surface only, not at the root. Removing body hair by waxing is becoming so popular that even men are getting their bodies waxed in increasing numbers.

Cost Efficient

As compared to other hair removing techniques waxing is the most cost efficient method.

3. What do I do before and after my waxing appointment?

We pride ourselves in being the best waxers in London. Here are few tips to ensure we achieve the best and safest result:

• Sun Lights - Do not expose yourself to direct sunlight in the 24 hours before waxing and especially in the 48 hours after it.

• Tight Clothing - Avoid wearing tight clothing. Also, avoid hot baths, use of fragrant creams and lotions, and especially body scrubs for the next 24 hours.

• Bumps & Redness - Some people may get redness, bumps or skin irritation after waxing, but, it usually subsides within a few hours.

• Exfoliate - After 24-48 hours, exfoliate the skin with a Loofah sponge to prevent the dead skin from accumulating in areas such as the bikini line, upper thighs, underarms and calves.

• Ingrown hairs - If you suffer from ingrown hairs ensure to exfoliate after waxing with a body scrub and also apply X-it solution to the waxed area. This allows hair to break through the skin and avoid ingrown hairs. Ask your therapists on our after care products and how to exfoliate.

• Problematic skin - If acne is a problem, wait until the skin has healed before hair waxing to avoid further irritation.

• Wax every 3-6 weeks - After your first waxing, the results can last 3 to 6 weeks depending on your hair re-growth. In most cases, hair growth is minimal during the first week or two and noticeably increases in the third and fourth week. With regular waxing the length of time between treatments will increase. Continued waxing results in sparse hair re-growth.

• Medications - If you are using Vitamin A creams or tablets like Differin, Retin A or Isoretinoin, it is strongly recommended that you do not wax, because these medications make the skin more prone to tearing when you peel off the wax. Do not wax on irritated, broken, chapped skin or on moles.

Happy waxing...
