HAIR REMOVAL

All clients requesting tinting, tanning or waxing services will be asked to visit the salon at least 24-48 hours prior to their booking to have a skin test carried out.

Failure to have a skin test will unfortunately result in services being refused within this establishment.

FACIAL WAXING

Eyebrow  £10-£15
Upper lip £10-£15

Facial waxing is a method of hair removal that involves applying a layer of warm wax to areas of the face, such as the upper lip, chin, eyebrows, or cheeks, and quickly removing it to pull out unwanted hair from the root. It provides smooth, hair-free skin for longer periods compared to shaving, with results typically lasting 3-6 weeks.

Waxing can be done using soft wax, which is applied and removed with a cloth strip, or hard wax, which hardens and is removed without strips. While effective, facial waxing may cause mild discomfort or irritation, especially for those with sensitive skin, but the results are generally smooth and even.

Regular waxing can also result in finer and sparser hair regrowth over time. It’s important to follow aftercare instructions to minimize redness and irritation after the procedure.

HOT WAX

Full Leg 50 mins / £55
Half Leg 30 mins / £30
Bikini Line 15 mins / £25
Forearm  20 mins / £25

Hot wax is a type of wax used in hair removal that is applied warm and directly adheres to the hair, allowing for effective removal without the need for cloth strips. When applied, the wax quickly cools and hardens on the skin, shrinking slightly around the hairs as it sets. Once hardened, it is pulled off in one quick motion, taking the hairs out from the root and leaving the skin smooth.

Hot wax is especially effective for coarse hair and is often used on sensitive areas, like the bikini line, underarms, and face, as it tends to be gentler on the skin than strip wax. Since it grips hairs more securely, it minimizes breakage and often provides longer-lasting results.

Many people prefer hot wax as it can be less painful, especially when used in smaller, targeted areas.

WARM WAX

Full Leg 50 mins / £55
Half Leg 30 mins / £30
Bikini Line 15 mins / £25
Forearm  20 mins / £25
Underarm 15 mins / £25
Lip or chin 15 mins / £10 

Warm wax is a popular hair removal method that involves applying wax heated to a moderate temperature onto the skin with a spatula. The wax adheres to both the hair and a cloth or paper strip placed over it.

When the strip is quickly pulled away, it removes the hair from the root, leaving skin smooth for several weeks.

Warm wax is effective for both fine and coarse hair, making it suitable for larger areas like the legs, arms, and back, as well as for facial hair removal.

Unlike hot wax, which hardens on its own, warm wax requires the strip for removal. While generally well-tolerated, it may cause some temporary redness or irritation, especially on sensitive skin.
