Why wax when I can shave every day?
Precisely! You would have to shave every day to get the same smooth finish that waxing gives you for at least 3 weeks.
Doesn’t it hurt though?
I’m not going to lie, if you’ve never been waxed before then certain areas can smart a bit, imagine a sharp slap. Once you get into the routine of waxing regularly the hair follicles get weaker and weaker and eventually give up and stop producing any/very little hair.
What kind of wax do you use?
We only use the best quality waxes for the job. For larger areas that means a strip wax (the warm wax is applied to your skin, a paper ‘strip’ applied and removed with one quick movement), and for more ‘sensitive’ areas, we use a hot, peelable wax that ‘shrink wraps’ the hairs as it cools . The wax is then removed in quick movements - no strip required.
Can I shave in between appointments?
Quite simply, No. You would be defeating the whole object of waxing. It takes about 4 appointments to get all the hair growing in the same cycle so stick with it!!
If you’re used to waxing then it’s just a couple more strips! If not, why not start off with a straightforward bikini wax, then as you get more comfortable with the procedure move on to a Brazilian.
I’d love a Brazilian, but I’m not sure ..
Do you wax men?
Ladies only. Sorry chaps.
How long does the hair have to be?
The length of a grain of rice. If it’s your first wax after shaving, then make sure you have 4 weeks of growth… and leave the trimming to us!

I’m really shy, can I keep my knickers on?
If you’re having a bikini or bikini plus, then yes you can (or wear our paper ones), however, it’s impossible to carry out a Hollywood or Brazilian with your underwear on. We are completely professional and friendly. To coin a phrase ‘we’ve seen it all before’. Really, we have. To us you’re just a canvas for hair removal!!
