Waxing

Hair removal with warm or strip wax – thorough and smooth for several weeks.

Waxing removes hair from the root: warm wax is applied and removed with fabric strips, or as hard wax without strips. Skin stays smooth for two to four weeks depending on growth.

Prep & aftercare:

Hair should ideally be about half a centimetre long. After the treatment, skin needs 24 hours away from sun, sauna and sport; regular exfoliation helps prevent ingrown hairs. For very sensitive skin, hard wax is usually the gentler choice.
