We can do all areas of the face and body.

The most popular areas are the back, chest and brows. Although lately, we have been doing a lot of nose and ear waxing. The hair stays away for much longer than shaving and there is no stubble left behind.

It is a lot less painful than you imagine. With the sunny days head, plenty of beach time. It's never too late to try out waxing, doesn't matter what age you are, we have seen a wide range of men of all ages over the past few months.

A few tips to prepare the skin for waxing sessions.

Be sure to exfoliate before waxing, using a scrub once a week on the area to be waxed should help. Scrub a day or two before your appointment, not the same day. What you are doing with this is removing the dead cells that build up on the surface. That way wax removes just the hair, not a layer of dead cells.

Let your hair grow (if you have been shaving). For best results we recommend 3-4 weeks since your last hair removal. If your hair is too short that wax can't remove it all.

Take time to relax, there is one thing that helps everything and that is a take long hot soak in the bath a couple of hours before your waxing session. The water will also soften the hair, which makes it easier to remove. The warmer the water can soften your skin too. The more relaxed you are the easier it is to wax. When you are tense your muscles are tense and that can hold in the hair.

After waxing, stick to the 48-hr rule, especially for your first treatment.

You will need to keep the area, clean and dry to avoid anything that could irritate your delicate skin. e.g. sunlight, exfoliating, tight clothes, hot baths, swimming, hot tubs and perfumed body lotions.

If the skin feels sensitive or dry, you can apply aloevera-based lotion.
