FAQs
-
Do you have a toilet, can I use it before my treatment?
Yes of course! You’ll find freshen up wipes and tampons in there for you to use if you need them. And yes I can wax you if you’re on your period, happens all the time… wear a tampon and I’ll work around it.
-
How long does the hair have to be?
You should have at least 4 weeks growth from your last wax, or 3 weeks growth from your last shave. I know that growing the hair out is a pain, but if you come to me with any less than that, I will still wax you but I will advise you that you won’t get the best result. The hair should be no shorter than a grain of rice (5mm).

How long will the treatment take?
For intimate waxing, actual time ‘on the couch’ is 15-20 minutes. Nobody wants to spend an hour being waxed!
Your appointment will include a thorough consultation, a discussion about aftercare and plenty of time for a good catch-up and booking in your next appointment – and of course a very thorough wax.
-
How long will the treatment last?
Everyone’s different. In most cases you will see minimal regrowth during the first 3 weeks, with a noticeable increase after that. If it is your first wax ever, or first wax in a long time, it can take 2 to 3 regular treatments to get rid of early regrowth – please don’t be tempted to remove any early regrowth yourself – step away from the razor! It’s worth persevering for slower, sparser regrowth.

Why get waxed?
I have clients of all ages who get waxed for a number of reasons. Some do it for aesthetic reasons, some say it makes them feel cleaner, some say their partner prefers it – there is no “right” or “wrong” and whatever your reason, I don’t judge. After trying out waxing, almost everyone prefers it to shaving or using hair removal cream and the results definitely last longer.
-
Will it hurt?
In my experience, waxing is most uncomfortable when it’s a new sensation and you don’t know what to expect. Everyone’s tolerance levels are different. Any discomfort quickly subsides and will lessen even further with each visit, as the hair thins and less hair is removed from the area. I can promise you that nobody walks out of the room in pain.
-
What to expect?
I wax using a unique, no-nonsense technique. I don’t fuss around covering you with towels and only exposing and waxing an inch at a time – I’ve been trained to carry out the treatment as quickly and painlessly as I can.
So… you’ll need to get naked from the waist down. If you want the perfect wax, you will have to take your knickers off. I remove every single hair from the inside, outside, back, front and underneath! Some areas of skin will need to be stretched while the wax is removed.
-
Is it embarassing?
I hope not… ok maybe for the first minute or two, but I’ll be doing my best to make you feel comfortable. I promise you I’ve seen it all before, there won’t be anything that will shock or surprise me – honest! I wax women of every different shape and size imaginable. All I’m concentrating on during the treatment is hair and skin, making sure you have the best, quickest and most thorough wax you’ve ever had, so that you return to me again and again.
-
How often should I be waxed?
If you want to maintain a clean, smooth feeling then ideally you’ll be waxed every 4 weeks for the first few appointments. After that you may find that you can leave longer gaps between appointments.
