03
Before your wax
- Let hair grow to about 5mm, around two to three weeks after shaving.
- Exfoliate gently the day before.
- Skip retinol and acids on the area for a few days beforehand.
- Come with clean skin and no lotion or oil on the area.
04
After your wax
For the next 24 to 48 hours, avoid heat, saunas, swimming, sun and tight clothing over freshly waxed skin. From a few days after, exfoliate two or three times a week to help prevent ingrown hairs.
05
Waxing and spray tans
If you're getting a spray tan too, wax at least 24 hours before your tan, never straight after it. Waxing the day before means your pores have closed and the tan develops evenly. Book a spray tan for the following day and you're set.
06
Brows
Brow waxing and shaping pairs well with a brow or lash tint in the same visit. Tell us the shape you're after, or let us suggest one that suits your face.
07
Brazilian waxing
Your first Brazilian is the hardest; after a few regular visits, regrowth tends to come back finer and the wax feels easier.
08
Your first wax with us
If it's your first wax, or your first in a while, tell us when you arrive. We'll explain each step, work quickly and check in as we go. Taking a mild pain reliever about half an hour before can help if you're nervous, and booking outside the week before your period can make it more comfortable.
09
Tell us before you wax
Let us know if you use retinol, prescription acne creams or isotretinoin (Roaccutane), if the area is sunburnt, or if you've had a reaction to waxing before. Some of these mean we'll wait or choose a different approach for that area, so your skin isn't damaged.

Questions about waxing
- How long does hair need to be for waxing?
- About 5mm, which is roughly two to three weeks of growth after shaving. Shorter hair won't grip the wax properly.
- How long does waxing last?
- Usually three to six weeks, depending on the area and how fast your hair grows.
- Should I wax before or after a spray tan?
- Before. Wax at least 24 hours ahead of your tan so the colour develops evenly.
- Does waxing hurt less over time?
- For most people, yes. Regular waxing tends to bring regrowth back finer, and the appointments feel easier.
