Strip Wax
strip wax is a popular option for hair removal because it effectively removes hair while being gentler on the skin. It is typically applied at a comfortable temperature, ensuring that it adheres to the hair follicles and removes hair from the root with minimal discomfort. strip wax is often used for larger areas like legs, arms, or back, providing smooth and long-lasting results.

Hot wax is often used in professional waxing treatments for effective and comfortable hair removal, especially for sensitive areas. It adheres to the hair and removes it cleanly without gripping the skin, making it a great option for those seeking smoother, longer-lasting results. It also helps to open up the pores, reducing discomfort during the procedure.
WAXING PRE-TREATMENT ADVICE
TO GET THE BEST POSSIBLE RESULTS FROM YOUR TREATMENT, PLEASE FOLLOW THE GUIDELINES BELOW.
1. Let the Hair Grow
Allow at least 4 weeks of growth. Hair should be ¼ inch long (about the size of a grain of rice) for optimal results.
2. Avoid Waxing When Skin is Sensitive
Plan your waxing a week after your period, when your pain tolerance is higher. Avoid booking during your menstrual cycle.
3. Skip the Tan
Avoid tanning (sunbeds or sun exposure) for 72 hours before your wax to prevent skin sensitivity and irritation.
4. Exfoliate in Advance
Gently exfoliate a few days before your appointment to remove dead skin and lift trapped hairs. This helps prevent ingrown hairs.
Recommended products:
• A-List Beauty Exfoliating Washcloth
• Ruff Stuff Body Scrub
5. Moisturise
Keep your skin hydrated in the days leading up to your appointment. Avoid applying lotion on the day itself.
Try: Outback Organics Bush Balm
6. Dress Comfortably
Wear loose clothing to your appointment to reduce post-wax irritation. Avoid skinny jeans or tight-fitting fabrics.
7. Check Your Skin
Do not wax over sunburns, rashes, breakouts, cuts, or bruises. Wait until your skin is healed to avoid damage.
8. No Caffeine on the Day
Avoid coffee or energy drinks the day of your wax, as caffeine can increase sensitivity.
9. Concerned About Pain?
Take ibuprofen 30 minutes before your appointment if you’re worried about discomfort.
10. Shower Before Your Appointment
Clean skin helps reduce the risk of irritation and ensures better results.
11. Avoid Actives Before Facial Waxing
Discontinue use of retinoids, glycolic acid, peels, or acne prescriptions at least 10 days prior to any facial waxing.
