The first thing we would like to say is that our therapists have seen so many naked body parts that they all start to look the same after a while. Don’t forget our therapists also have regular waxing, and every 4 weeks they are on the receiving end of the spatula so they know exactly how you feel.

Every body has unwanted hair. Waxing is a quick and efficient method of removing hair leaving the area that has been waxed silky smooth.

You can kick back and relax, or you can chat to our therapist. It’s your choice.

Your therapist will use a professional wax that has been designed specifically for salon waxing. and will decide the best type of wax (hot or strip) depending on the area to be waxed. The therapist spreads the wax onto your skin and as quickly as possible removes the wax, taking the hair and dead skin cells along with it. Once the hairs have been removed we apply Bodyscope Antiseptic Body Lotion which can be purchased and used at home.

We recommend that you use the Bodyscope Alphahydroxy Skin Wash at home too, to help maintain skin health and removal of bacteria and dead skin cell build up. This can be used all over the body instead of soap.

This is different for everyone and will depend on your skin type, amount and strength of hair. If you are stressed and tired the more likely it will hurt. Your first wax session is usually the most uncomfortable, however your therapist will make it as quick and painless as possible.

Our specially designed Lycon Wax helps to reduce the skin sensitivity.

Unfortunately no. But with regular waxing the hair becomes softer, more sparse and often lighter in colour.  As the hairs are removed with the root, waxing will not promote growth like shaving or using hair removal creams. Waxing also provides a deep form of exfoliation and according to the American Academy of Dermatology, this type of physical exfoliation removes dead skin cells from the top layer of skin to promote collagen production and boost the efficacy of topical treatments.

You will need to wax every 3-4 weeks depending on your hair regrowth rate. Hair growth tends to grow more quickly in hot weather than it does in colder weather, so you may wish to consider making your next appointment before you check out.

Do not shave between waxing treatments as this distorts the hair growth cycle and makes hair thicker, tougher and more course.

We use two types of waxing methods – hot and strip wax. Hot wax is perfect for sensitive areas of the body where it is spread over a thin layer of pre waxing oil to stop it sticking to the skin. The hair becomes embedded in the wax as it cools and hardens. The wax is then pulled off quickly in the opposite direction of the hair growth, removing wax, hair, root, and all. For other areas less sensitive, we use strip wax. Strip wax is applied thinly over larger areas of the body. The hair is embedded in the wax. A special strip is then applied over the area and rubbed onto the skin. The strip is then removed quickly from the body removing the hair, root and all. Sometimes powder may be applied prior to the wax.

In order for waxing to be most effective hair length should be 1cm to 2 cm long depending on the thickness of the hair.

You should avoid using waxing for hair removal if you are currently on, or in the last 3-4 months have used Retin–A or Accutane medications, or you are sunburnt or had a recent peel.

While we do offer Brazilian Waxing for our Bella Babes, we currently do not provide Brazilian Waxing for our boys. We do however provide bum cheeks and speedo line waxing.
