Everyone’s hair cycle is different and depends on the individuals’ hair growth. But on average expect results to last up to 3 weeks. The key is to maintain a routine of getting a wax every 4-6 weeks that way you will notice the hair growing back thinner, more sparse and the rate of which it grows will eventually start to slow down.

How much it hurts depends on the person. It is to be expected to experience some discomfort but this should not put you off as having a professional therapist carry out the treatment with skilled waxing techniques and quality products will keep the discomfort to a minimum. Taking Ibuprofen 30mins before treatment can also help.

You can wax whilst pregnant, but it is advised that you only start waxing when your GP has given you the all clear after your 1st trimester. Another thing to bear in mind is that your skin will be more sensitive than normal so expect a bit more discomfort than usual.

You can wax during your menstrual cycle. For a Brazilian or Hollywood wax wearing a tampon is advised. Again skin tends to be more sensitive during your monthly cycle, so waxing larger areas of the body might hurt a bit more than normal. If you would rather wait or know you can’t handle that extra bit of discomfort, it is advised to wax 2 weeks before or 2 weeks after your cycle.

– Touching the skin with unsanitary hands
– Tight clothing to avoid rubbing, friction and irritation
– The gym or any form of exercise
– Hot showers/baths, saunas or steam rooms
– Swimming, especially if it’s a chlorinated pool
– Sunbeds, sunlight and UV exposure, sunbathing and fake tans for at least 48hrs
– Perfumed products like: – perfume, body sprays, deodorant, creams and makeup etc.

NB: After your treatment you can expect tenderness and redness on and around the area waxed. Some blood spotting is normal if you have thicker and coarser hair, but more especially if you are a 1st time waxer. All this should calm down 24-48 hrs after treatment.
