Waxing

Waxing - Depilation
Waxing known as Depilation is a treatment to remove unwanted body hair.
There are many different methods of hair removal products such as:
- Bleaching
- Plucking
- Shaving
- Threading
- Hot Wax
- Warm Wax
- Sugar Wax
Waxing is the most effective form of hair removal as it removes the hair from the root.
I use a creamy warm wax which is applied by spreading it thinly onto the skin. A cotton strip is applied over the waxed area and is removed with a quick pulling movement allowing the hairs to be removed from the root.
Waxing usually lasts between 4-6 weeks.
The benefits of having a waxing treatment are:
- Lasts between 4-6 weeks due to hair being removed from the root.
- Hair grows back softer.
- Over time hair will become much thinner looking.
