Waxing is the most effective way of removing hair and obtaining that silky smooth feeling for both small and large areas: eyebrows, face, bikini area, legs, arms, back, stomach, feet anywhere else you can think of.
Hot wax involves a thin layer of heated wax being carefully applied to the skin. Hair becomes embedded in the viscous wax as it cools and solidifies. A strip is then applied over the top and pressed down before quickly being pulled off, taking with it the uprooted hair.
Hot Waxing vs Cold Waxing
Don’t confuse hot wax with cold wax – we don’t offer cold wax for one simple reason, hot wax is better, more enjoyable and way more effective. Cold wax involves precoated strips being pressed onto the skin and pulled off in exactly the same way you’d apply and then tear off a plaster. Not a very high-end process! Where hot waxing, when performed by a skilled hand is likened to the sensation of being slapped with a ruler, cold waxing is likened to being slapped with bull whip!
Waxing is of course a temporary method of hair removal, although it does cause a progressive and permanent thinning of the hair each time the treatment is performed. That silky smooth feeling should stay with you for between three to eight weeks.
The History of Hot Waxing
It’s no surprise that the saucy ancient Egyptians are thought to have invented the process of removing bodily hair with hot wax. Youth was just as prized then as it is now and just as today; the high-classes would use hot wax hair removal as a means to stay young and beautiful throughout their lives. Hairless bodies have ever since been a mark of not only beauty and youth, but social standing, right through the ages.
Post Waxing Treatment
Non-perfumed moisturisers (heavy on the aloa vera and vitamin B) are be immediately applied to the treated area. The following activities should be avoided where possible:
- Swimming
- Sunbathing
- Applying perfume, aftershave or deodorant to the treated area
