How long should the hair be?

For facial waxing your hair needs to be a minimum of 2mm long for best results

For body waxing you should have a minimum of 2 weeks post shaving growth or 5mm.  Enough to pinch the hairs with your finger tips (not your fingernails)

For intimate waxing we will attempt to remove hairs under 2mm long but cannot promise 100% results.  

Will every hair be removed?

We will do our best, however it is sadly not realistic to expect every hair to be removed.  Hair has different directions of growth and skin can only be waxed over the same spot a couple of times - so occasionally a few hairs will remain.  You should expect your therapist to check your skin carefully and remove any prominent hairs left behind after waxing by  threading or using tweezers.  

Please feel free to point out any areas which you feel have been overlooked by your therapist (it does happen!) 

I feel shy because I am very hairy. 

Actually, so are we!  - so relax, this is how we earn a living and Thank You!

Will it hurt?

Yes (well you did ask!).  The first time it will hurt quite a bit.  The second wax (particularly the second intimate wax) will be a lot easier provided that you return within the interval recommended by your therapist. 

It's my first time! I'm scared!

Ok so breathe.  Our clients bring us their friends for a first wax so we come highly recommended.  We talk you through and our first timers say it helps.  Here are our tips

1.  Eat breakfast. And lunch.  Your pain and discomfort threshold is much higher if your blood sugar is stable and not too low. So have a snack before your waxing appointment if it's been a while since your last meal. 

2. Moisturise for several days before your wax appointment. Dry skin doesn't like being waxed.  You may have heard that it's bad to moisturise just before a waxing appointment but this is where our skill (and the latest generation of waxes) comes into play.

3. Exfoliate during your shower at least the night before your wax - especially if you usually shave.  Use a mitt and gentle non-irritating body wash, baby products are ideal for delicate areas.  If you need to buy a mitt, come and see us and buy one of our fabulous Japanese wash cloths. They are terrific! (and £9.99)

4. If you know that you have a low pain tolerance take a headache pill an hour before. It isn't really necessary, but it's very comforting.

5. Wear comfy big knickers - or the BF's Calvin Kleins. And avoid tight clothing.

6. Plan a night off the gym and don't have a wax the same day as a night out or a long journey.

7. Take it easy afterwards, but don't plan a leisurely hot bath or long hot shower as this will irritate your skin.

Will the therapist see everything?

Not really.  We can't remove hair if we can't see it, but from our point of view it's just a technical exercise in hair removal.  Don't worry we focus in close-up on just a couple of cms of skin.  We never notice your underwear (it's under a towel). We will look out for moles, skin tags, broken or irritated skin, ingrowing hairs and other skin structural issues which have a bearing on your depilatory treatment.

Do you mind if I come straight from the gym? 

Um, yes actually. That's just rude.  Do you want to hear us spraying air freshener afterwards?

What's Included?

We cheerfully remove all superfluous (unwanted) hair including nostrils, ears, scrotum, labia, perineum, fingers, toes and any other area of the body! Our pricing covers hair in specific areas so don't be shy and get your money's worth!

A Classic Bikini Wax removes pubic hairs revealed by a pair of knickers like the pretty pink pants in the left of the photo. Hair under the knickers (front and back) is not removed.

A G String Wax removes quite a lot of hair.  This keeps you neat and tidy for tiny pants whilst keeping plenty of frontal cover.  As shown in the Pink Pants on the right in the photo.   Intimate hair removal around the labia is not included.

A Brazilian (strip) or Hollywood (full) Wax is an intimate wax.  We will remove as much hair underneath your knickers as you like, front and back. (Tell your therapist your style preference).  You will be able to wear the sheerest and tiniest of knickers with complete Sang Froid - perfect for the navy Janet Regers pictured.

Stray pubic type hairs below your belly button are also removed without charge or comment!
