For the best results, hair should be approximately 1cm in length—around the size of a grain of rice. If you've been shaving, we recommend allowing at least three weeks of hair growth before your appointment.
Hair that is too short may not wax effectively, so in some cases your appointment may need to be postponed to achieve the best results.
Yes. Gentle exfoliation two or three times a week before your appointment helps remove dead skin cells and encourages better waxing results.
Please avoid applying heavy creams or oils on the day of your appointment, as they can affect the wax's ability to grip the hair.
Loose, comfortable clothing is recommended, particularly after body or intimate waxing.
Most clients enjoy smooth skin for around three to four weeks, although everyone's hair growth cycle is different.
For the best long-term results, we generally recommend waxing every four weeks.
For 24 hours after your treatment, we recommend avoiding:
•Hot baths and showers
•Saunas and steam rooms
•Swimming
•Vigorous exercise
•Sunbeds and excessive sun exposure
These precautions help minimise irritation.
Regular exfoliation and moisturising, once advised after your treatment, can help minimise ingrown hairs and maintain smoother skin between appointments.
