Waxing Hair Removal Services
Waxing hair removal services can help you achieve smooth, hair-free skin for up to 4 weeks without shaving. Regular waxing (every 4-5 weeks) contributes to softer skin and thinner hair regrowth after regular sessions. It can also minimize some of the skin problems typically associated with shaving, such as ingrown hairs and irritation.
We are pleased to offer the best in sanitary, gentle and professional facial and body waxing service for men and women, using the finest european wax products. With utmost care to avoid cross contamination, we thoroughly sanitize all our tools and implements, and do not "double dip" but use a fresh stick for each application. You can be assured that your therapist will treat you with respect and professionalism and that you will be pleased with your results. We also offer Kalo hair growth inhibitor products to help maintain your waxed areas and make touch-ups easier. For our sensitive guests, a numbing agent may be applied prior to waxing to minimize discomfort for a small fee, or you may purchase your own supply to use for future treatments.
To ensure a successful waxing experience, please note the following instructions and contra-indications:
If you are using bleaching agents for hair or skin, depilatories such as Nair, Benzoyl Peroxide for acne, Alpha Hydroxy Acids, oral antibiotics, Retinol, Salicitic Acid, or other exfoliants, or if you have a recent sunburn, open wounds or moles, the affected areas cannot be waxed. Although it is not a contra-indication, please be aware that women are more sensitive for about a week before and during their menstrual period and may want to postpone the treatment for a few days. Please note that hair needs to be at least a minimum ¼ of an inch long for wax removal.
