The wax we use
For intimate areas we use Perron Rigot Euroblonde hot wax. It is a non-strip wax that shrink-wraps around each hair, which gives a better grip and makes the whole thing quicker and less unpleasant than strip wax on sensitive skin.
For larger body areas we use a honey wax in a roller system. It is hypo-allergenic, fragrance-free and free of rosin, so it suits sensitive skin including people who react to sticking plasters.
No chocolate wax, no hazelnut wax, no gimmicks. Fragrance in wax is a marketing decision, not a skin-care one.
Intimate waxing, specifically
You get five minutes of private time to get ready, with wet wipes provided. The treatment is done lying down, not on all fours, which we mention because plenty of salons still do it the other way and people are too polite to ask.
A Hollywood removes everything. A Brazilian leaves a strip at the front, and you decide how thick, or a triangle if you prefer, with everything else removed underneath and round the back. A standard bikini is a tidy-up of what shows.
Afterwards you get privacy again to check you are happy, and a soothing oil goes on to calm everything down. There is a lollipop with every intimate wax, which sounds silly and is surprisingly welcome.
Getting the best from it
Rebook every four to five weeks for intimate waxing. Regular waxing gets the whole area onto a common growth cycle, which is what makes later appointments quicker and more comfortable.
For ingrown hairs, we stock Ingrow Go and Bump Eraser. Exfoliating gently a few days after your appointment prevents most of them.
