Hair Removal Frequently Asked Questions

Is it painful?

No. It doesn't hurt. There's a slight amount of discomfort at times, but if it was that unbearable no-one would have any of their bits waxed! It's probably best to avoid the time around your period as your skin can feel extra sensitive. Some people like to take a couple of headache pills/painkillers prior to a long waxing appointment.

Do I need to wear anything specific?

If you are having a full leg or bikini wax you will have to remove your skirt or trousers, but I have a nice big white towel you can cover your modesty with. If you are having a bikini wax it is best not to wear your best knickers as you do not want to risk getting wax on them. Don't mind me - wear your worst, I won't be judging you!

How often will I need to wax?

Freshly waxed skin will normally remain hair-free for three weeks. Lots of people are lucky enough for the waxing to last up to six weeks. It depends entirely on how quickly your hair normally grows back. Waxing is known to slow and soften the hair growth, so the benefits of getting into a regular waxing routine far outweigh shaving and depilatory creams.

How long does my hair have to be?

Your hair, be it leg, underarm or bikini, ideally needs to be no shorter than 5mm (0.5 cm or 1/4 "). An acurate example of the minimum hair length required for successful waxing is this capital i > I <
