Standard Wax Treatments
Prior to the treatment – we will cleanse the area using a specially formulated pre-cleansing lotion. We will then apply a high quality cream warm wax and remove the unwanted hair. You ok should ensure that the hair to be waxed is a minimum of around 0.75cm – 1cm so that the wax will take to the hair effectively. This is normally around 2-3 weeks post-shaving growth for most ladies or 4-6 weeks post waxing.
Once the waxing has been completed, a soothing tea tree lotion is applied to soothe and help the skin recover from the waxing treatment. With some waxing loose clothing is recommended.

Hot Wax
Hot wax depilation has been available over many years but more recently is not as common as warm wax. Hot wax consists of beeswax and a resin. Hot wax is melted to a thicker consistency than warm wax.
When the wax is applied to the skin with a spatula, it coats the hair with a thick layer. As the wax cools it becomes firmer contracting around the hair and gripping them tightly. The wax remains on the skin until it becomes opaque in colour-drying to form a slight tacky consistency. It is then pulled off the skin with a fast movement.
Advantages to Hot wax:
- It works well onto small patches of strong coarse hair
- The wax get a better grip of the hair than warm wax
- It does not leave a sticky residue like warm wax
- It is a good for removing shorter hairs
- Possibly more suited to those with sensitive skin
- There is less reddening on the skin following waxing
