In 2004 I did my BTEC level 3 in beauty sciences carrying out all types of beauty. After a few years, the treatment that I loved to perform was waxing. I couldn’t get enough of it; so I decided to specialise in this. I went on to do extra training with the ‘Wax Queen’ that is Kim Lawless. Waxing is all I do, so you can be confident you are getting the best professional service.
I am situated Barnstaple, North Devon in my exclusive, quiet home salon, with parking. I work on a strict appointment-only basis.
I myself have disposed of the razor since being waxed. I have had regular treatments for the past few years, and I love it! Some people do it to feel cleaner. Others may do it because it makes them feel sexier. Some may say it saves trying to squat in the shower, to get them hard to reach places, when 9/10 times you know you’re at risk of cutting something (OUCH!). But most importantly, it reduces the rate in which your hair grows back, including the thickness and density, in turn avoiding them nasty shaving rashes.
You should leave at least 4 weeks of growth from your last wax and 3 weeks of growth from your last shave to get the best results. It isn’t the fact ‘my hair grows really fast’, your hair grows in different stages, if you arrive for your appointment with your hair grown less, you will not get great results and I really wouldn’t want you to be wasting your time or money. I know that growing hair out is a pain, but believe me, it is so worth it.
We are all different. In most cases, you will see minimal hair growth during the first 3 weeks, with a noticeable increase after that. If you usually shave it can take two to three treatments to get rid of early regrowth. Please do not be tempted to shave any early regrowth, be strong! Continued waxing DOES encourage slower, sparser regrowth.
If you want to be as smooth as a baby’s bum (who doesn’t?), then ideally it is best to be waxed every 4 weeks or more depending on your hair growth. You may find after a while, you can leave it longer between each wax.
You are perfectly fine to still be waxed whilst pregnant. You can be waxed safely from the very first day of pregnancy, right up until your due date. Just bare in mind if you have never been waxed before, you may be a lot more sensitive in your first trimester.
Life doesn’t stop, neither does your wax treatments. As long as you wear a tampon or a mooncup and you are clean and fresh down there, then this will not be a problem. However, if you still do not feel comfortable having your wax at this time, please bare your cycle in mind when booking your appointments.
The question on everyone’s lips. Everyone has a different tolerance to pain. Shaved hair is much stronger and tougher, so you may find the first wax to be a little more painful. But it does get easier, as the hair thins and grows sparser, of course, that’s if you can manage to deter yourself from the razor! Besides, it will be over before you know it!
I have been trained by the best in the industry. I have no-nonsense technique, means there is no fussing around with towels or paper knickers covering you, only exposing and waxing a bit at a time. I have been trained to carry out the treatment as quickly and as pain-free as possible.
If you want to be hair free and carefree, you will need to get naked from the waist down, yes you will need to take your knickers off. It’s okay, we are all women and I will do my best to make you feel comfortable. I have seen it all before, so try not to worry, I am concentrating on removing every single hair, and ensuring you have the best Hollywood/Brazilian you have ever had, so you return to me for all your waxing needs. If you’re still feeling uneasy, take a look at my reviews.
