How long will results last?

Results typically last 3-6 weeks. Regular waxing can lead to finer, sparser hair growth over time.

 

Is it painful?

Sensitivity varies by person and area. First-time waxing may be more uncomfortable, but pain typically decreases with regular sessions. We use premium wax and techniques to minimise discomfort.

What are your hygiene practices?
  • Fresh wax and new applicators for each client
  • Sanitised treatment rooms between appointments
  • Fresh gloves for each service
  • No double-dipping of applicators
What should I avoid after waxing?
  • For 24-48 hours, avoid:

    • Hot showers/baths
    • Swimming pools/saunas
    • Intense exercise
    • Sun exposure
    • Tight clothing (for intimate areas)
    • Exfoliation or harsh products

     

Do you have a cancellation policy?
  • Yes. Please provide 24-hour notice for cancellations to avoid a 50% charge. No-shows will be charged full service price.

What forms of payment do you accept?
  • We accept all major credit cards, debit cards, and cash.

What if I'm menstruating?
  • You can still get waxed during your period, but please wear a fresh tampon. Sensitivity may be higher during this time.
