Question 1

How long does my hair need to be?

Accepted Answer

For the best results, your hair should be approximately 5–6mm long (around the length of a grain of rice) before your appointment. This means not shaving, trimming, tweezing, or using hair removal creams for around three weeks before your first wax and between subsequent appointments.If your hair is shorter than this, the wax may not be able to grip it effectively, meaning you may not achieve the smoothest, longest-lasting results.​If you're worried your hair has grown too long, please don't trim it. If needed, I'll carefully trim it to the ideal length during your appointment to ensure the best possible results.

Question 2

Will I need to get undressed?

Accepted Answer

In short, yes!Just as you wouldn't have a haircut while wearing a hat or a manicure while wearing gloves, the area being waxed does need to be uncovered.If you're having an intimate wax, you will need to remove your underwear so I can access all the areas included in your treatment and achieve the best possible results.Please don't feel embarrassed—your comfort, dignity and privacy are always my priority. I carry out intimate waxing every day, and to me it's simply a professional treatment. My focus is entirely on providing a thorough, efficient wax while ensuring you feel as comfortable and at ease as possible throughout your appointment.

Question 3

Is waxing painful?

Accepted Answer

I'd love to tell you that waxing is completely painless, but I'd rather be honest!The truth is that everyone's pain threshold is different. Some people find waxing a little uncomfortable, while others are so relaxed they could almost fall asleep—yes, really!One of the questions I'm asked most is, "What's the most painful area to have waxed?" The answer is that it varies from person to person. Surprisingly, intimate waxing is often tolerated better than areas such as the upper lip.The good news is that the discomfort only lasts for a few seconds as each piece of wax is removed. I use premium professional waxes, high-quality products and proven techniques to make your treatment as quick, comfortable and effective as possible. Regular waxing also becomes more comfortable over time, as the hair becomes finer and grows more evenly.

Question 4

How often should I get waxed?

Accepted Answer

For the best results, I recommend scheduling your waxing appointments every 4–6 weeks, depending on your individual hair growth.It can take several waxing treatments for your hair to become more synchronised in its natural growth cycle. Following your first few appointments, you may notice some hairs regrowing sooner than others, which is completely normal. As you continue with regular waxing and avoid shaving or other methods of hair removal between appointments, you'll typically enjoy smoother, longer-lasting results with less noticeable regrowth.

Question 5

Should I shave between appointments?

Accepted Answer

No, shaving (or any other form of hair removal) between waxing appointments is not recommended!Shaving cuts the hair at the surface rather than removing it from the root, which interrupts the natural hair growth cycle that waxing is working to synchronise over time. This can result in more uneven regrowth and may make future waxing less effective and less comfortable.For the best, longest-lasting results, it’s important to allow the hair to grow naturally between appointments. Sticking to a regular waxing routine will help the hair grow back finer, softer and more evenly over time, giving you smoother results for longer.

Question 6

Can I get waxed if I'm on my period?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely!Having your period doesn't mean you need to postpone your waxing appointment. I regularly carry out waxing treatments for clients at this stage of their cycle.If you're having an intimate wax, I simply ask that you wear internal period protection, such as a tampon or menstrual cup, during your treatment.It's worth bearing in mind that some people find their skin is a little more sensitive in the few days before and during their period, so waxing may feel slightly less comfortable than usual. However, most clients find the treatment is still perfectly manageable.

Question 7

Can I get waxed if I have haemorrhoids?

Accepted Answer

Usually, yes!If you have haemorrhoids (piles), you can often still have an intimate wax. Many people experience them from time to time, so there's absolutely no need to feel embarrassed!If your haemorrhoids are small and not causing any discomfort, waxing can be carried out without any problems. However, if they are inflamed, painful, bleeding or you're experiencing a flare-up, it's best to wait until they've settled before booking your appointment. Waxing over or very close to inflamed haemorrhoids isn't recommended as it may cause unnecessary discomfort.If you're feeling nervous about this then please feel free to get in touch before your appointment. Everything you discuss with me will be treated professionally and confidentially, and I'll always advise you honestly and with your comfort in mind.

Question 8

Can I get waxed if I am plus sized?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely!Bodies come in all shapes and sizes, and being plus sized should never be a barrier to having a professional waxing treatment.My aim is to ensure every client feels comfortable, respected and at ease from the moment they arrive. Please don't worry about being judged or feeling self-conscious. I know it can feel daunting to undress or have an intimate treatment, but this is my profession, and my focus is simply on providing a thorough, comfortable wax in a welcoming, judgement-free environment.If you have any concerns before your appointment, you're always welcome to get in touch. I'm happy to answer any questions and help put your mind at ease.

Question 9

What's the minimum age to get waxed?

Accepted Answer

There isn't a minimum age for most waxing treatments—it's more about the type of treatment being requested.I am happy to provide waxing treatments for clients under the age of 18, provided a parent or legal guardian gives consent and remains in the treatment room for the entire appointment. This policy is in place to safeguard both the young person and myself.Please note that intimate waxing treatments (other than a high bikini wax) are only available to clients aged 18 and over.

Question 10

What's the difference between strip and non-strip wax?

Accepted Answer

Strip wax (also known as soft wax) is applied in a thin layer and removed using a strip of paper or fabric. It’s often used on larger areas of the body such as legs, arms and back.Hot wax (also known as hard wax) is applied slightly thicker and allowed to set before being removed without strips. It shrink-wraps around the hair rather than sticking strongly to the skin, making it ideal for more sensitive areas such as intimate waxing, underarms and the face.I never use strip wax on delicate areas such as the face, labia, and butt crack.
