Why wax?

Waxing excels in the swift, cost-effective, and secure elimination of hair from diverse body regions. Our services encompass convenient at-home waxing options for upper lips, eyebrows, chins, underarms, arms, legs, and bikini areas.
 

In contrast to the conventional option of shaving, waxing boasts prolonged results.
While the razor often needs to be wielded within a mere day or two, waxing can grant you a hair-free span of up to six weeks.

Different types of waxing

Two waxing techniques are available: hot waxing and warm waxing. In warm waxing, a spatula is utilized to directly apply the wax onto the skin. Subsequently, fabric strips are smoothed over the wax and swiftly removed, taking the wax and hair with them.

Hot waxing involves the direct application of heated wax onto the skin. The wax is allowed to cool and solidify on the skin's surface. Following this, a corner of the wax is lifted and the wax is directly pulled off the skin.
 

Hot waxing has the advantage of better pore opening before the strips are detached, making it particularly suitable for more delicate areas. For us, the benefits of hot waxing generally outweigh those of warm waxing.
 

Now, let's delve into the advantages of waxing.
 

1. Less regrowth

The most widely recognized advantage of waxing lies in its ability to delay hair regrowth.
 

Waxing eradicates hair from the root, whereas shaving trims hairs at skin level. Even with a very close shave, a significant portion of the hair remains just below the surface, poised to reappear within a day or two. This distinction is crucial in evaluating whether waxing surpasses shaving.
 

Consequently, waxing delivers an exceptionally smooth outcome. There's no stubble after a shower or overlooked patches! Even individuals with rapid hair regrowth can relish the benefits of waxing for a span of 3-4 weeks.
 

Moreover, establishing a routine waxing schedule with your beautician further diminishes overall regrowth. This allows you to identify the optimal frequency for your needs, ensuring minimized regrowth over time.

2. Finer regrowth

The nature of regrowth isn't solely about quantity; it's also about the quality of regrowth you'll encounter.

As previously mentioned, shaving involves cutting off the hair, resulting in a blunt edge. However, hair doesn't naturally possess a blunt structure. This is why regrown hair after shaving feels coarse and stubbly.
 

In contrast, waxing eliminates hair from the follicle, ensuring that when the hair regenerates and reemerges, it does so with a delicately tapered tip. This finer, non-stubbly end implies that even during the interval before your next waxing session, your skin won't experience the same level of hairiness as it would following shaving.
 

Over time, certain hairs might cease to regrow entirely, leading to a sparser coverage of hair.
 

3. Waxing is like exfoliation
 

Accumulation of dead skin cells and dirt on your skin can contribute to breakouts, imperfections, and dryness. This is why exfoliation is a practice aimed at eliminating these impurities.
 

Through waxing, this entire process of elimination occurs as part of the treatment.
As a result, the waxed area appears smooth, vibrant, purified, and revitalized.
However, it's important to note that waxing isn't primarily intended as an exfoliation technique. For optimal outcomes, we recommend exfoliating a few days prior to your waxing session. It's advisable to avoid exfoliation within 48 hours before or after your waxing appointment, as this can heighten skin sensitivity.
 

4. Waxing banishes shaving rash
 

Shaving rash refers to skin inflammation triggered by irritation. If you have a tendency to develop shaving rash, a key advantage of hot waxing is its potential to prevent its recurrence entirely. Shaving subjects the area to frequent friction every few days, exacerbating the inflammation. In contrast, waxing allows you to evade this issue for periods exceeding a month, granting your skin an opportunity to soothe itself.

5. Fewer ingrown hairs
 

For numerous individuals, shaving can result in a troublesome issue: ingrown hairs.
These hairs can cause discomfort and mar the appearance of the skin. In more severe cases, they might even become infected, potentially causing scarring.
 

A skilled waxing specialist is well-versed in a technique that minimizes the likelihood of ingrown hairs. This approach entails swift removal of the wax strips while ensuring the skin is taut.
 

If you have a heightened susceptibility to ingrown airs, it's advisable to communicate this to your beautician. Additionally, remember to follow up with thorough exfoliation and moisturization two days after the waxing session.
 

6. Waxing says goodbye to itching
 

A common occurrence for many individuals is the onset of itching right after shaving, and this discomfort intensifies as regrowth begins. On the other hand, waxing might initially bring about a swift sting and subsequent tingling, but you're likely to enjoy a longer duration of relief from itching.
 

Furthermore, waxing eliminates the necessity for using shaving products that can irritate the skin or exacerbate itchiness, sparing you from that concern.
 

7. Waxing means no more shaving cuts
 

Even if you've been shaving your legs for two decades, it's not uncommon to accidentally nick your ankle with the razor. This happens because a proper lather is necessary for a smooth shave, which can make you, your hands, and the razor all quite slippery.
 

Opting for a professional waxing treatment eliminates the risk of nicks, cuts, or any form of skin damage.

8. It's an opportunity for pampering and you time

Shaving often feels like a beauty task. However, scheduling a waxing appointment, particularly in the coziness of your own home, offers an opportunity to receive dedicated care and attention from a skilled beautician. It's a moment to carve out from your hectic day and indulge in something that brings about a sense of wellbeing and beauty. While there might be a fleeting twinge from the wax strips, the comforting warmth of the hot wax and the expert ministrations of the beautician truly constitute a pampering experience.
