Waxing
STRIP(WARM) WAX:
This is the most popular method of waxing. It consists of resin, paraffin wax, glucose syrup and honey. Warm wax is smoothed onto the skin in a thin layer and immediately covered with a fabric or paper strip which is pressed/rubbed onto the waxed area before being removed in a quick swipe. Strip waxing is quicker than hot wax and larger areas can be waxed at one go.
HOT WAX:
This wax consists of beeswax and resin and is melted to a thicker consistency than warm wax. Applied to the skin with a wooden spatula, it coats the hair with a thick layer and hardens around the hair to grip it tightly. Once dry, the wax is flipped up at the corner and pulled off quickly by the therapist. Many people find hot wax less painful than strip wax as the heat allows the pores to open so hair is removed more easily and it is the less sticky option more able to remove shorter hair than warm, strip wax.

We advise that you do not have any heat treatments immediately prior to or after waxing, this includes the use of the sauna, steam room, sunbed and sunbathing. Swimming and exercising are also not recommended.
How to prepare:
Ensure you have at least 3-4 weeks growth, anything less and you will not get the smooth result you want. If we feel there isn't enough hair growth we reserve the right to not carry out the treatment.
We advise, as with all waxing, to avoid sunbeds, sunbathing, hot baths and all heat treatments for a minimum of 24 hours beforehand. If you arrive with sunburn, even if there is no discomfort, we will NOT wax you. We also advise that you do not use sunbeds, sunbathe, have hot baths or any form of heat treatment for a minimum of 24 hours after your waxing - so plan your holiday waxing carefully! Swimming or using the jacuzzi/hot tub is also not advisable for the same time period.
The therapist will apply after wax oil after your waxing, however we also recommend the use of aloe vera gel. Wearing tight jeans after your treatment probably isn't a good idea, nor any scratchy underwear!
There is no such thing as pain free waxing but we will try to keep any discomfort to a minimum to bare!!
