The removal of body hair by waxing is a form of epilation where hair is removed below the surface of the skin. 

Waxing uses a resin-based substance to remove the hair from the follicle. Basically, a warm wax mixture is spread over the skin in the direction of hair growth, and;

For Strip Wax, a non-woven waxing strip is placed on top.

For Hot Wax, the waxing strip isn’t required.

Once the wax has cooled enough or has grasped the hair firmly enough, the strip/the wax is pulled off in the opposite direction of hair growth, removing the entire hair and follicle.

Elegant Image we wax nearly any area of the body including the trunk, eyebrows, face, Brazillian, legs, arms and back. The full list of waxing...

We maintain wax melted in heated warmers, it is applied to the skin with small single-use disposable wooden spatulas. In most circumstances, once wax is applied it is covered by a strip of disposable non-woven waxing material. After the wax cools the strip is removed quickly (pulled in the opposite direction of the hair growth at about a 45-degree angle) to remove the unwanted hair. New disposable paper strips are used for each waxing and the used strips are immediately disposed of. After removal of the strip, to minimise any discomfort hand pressure is immediately applied to the waxed area.Our therapists always examine the areas to be waxed and will discuss any issues concerning the waxing process prior to commencement.

After the area has been waxed the therapist will clean all remaining traces of wax from the skin and where possible apply a hair retardant, an antiseptic lotion is then applied to minimise redness sanitise, soothe and calm the skin.

To minimise the risk of skin irritation we use Strip Wax on tender skin areas inc' the face, underarm and bikini line and hot wax on other areas.

We believe the major advantages of in-salon waxing epilation over depilation (hair removed at the skin line - shaving etc.) is that:

1. First and foremost it takes longer for the hair to grow back.
2. It delivers better longer-lasting results.
3. Continual waxing over time stunts the frequency with which hair regrows. Therefore, the results become longer-lasting.
4. With each successive waxing, hair growth gets finer (As opposed to using shavers or razors).
5. waxing leaves the surface of the skin much smoother.
6. It is a cost-effective and less messy solution compared to other methods of hair removal.

We know that correctly performed in-salon waxing by our qualified Beauty Therapists delivers safer, cleaner, better and hassle-free results than the cheaper alternatives.

Before and After Tips:

• For the best results, please allow a minimum of ten days of hair growth.
• Exfoliate the day before your appointment.
• If you are taking Retin A or Acutane, waxing services cannot be performed. Skin care ,products that contain glycolic acids or alpha hydroxy acids must be discontinued 3-5 days before any waxing service.
• Don’t apply body lotion on the day of your appointment.
• When getting an underarm wax only use a deodorant without antiperspirant. The hair comes off easier.
• If you are really worried about pain, take one off-the-shelf pain killer an hour before your appointment.
• Avoid any hot treatments for 24 hours post-waxing (bath, sauna, steamer, tanning bed).
