FAQs
What is the most effective method of hair removal for long-lasting results?
Waxing is one of the most effective methods for longer-lasting smoothness. It removes hair from the root, and results can last between 3 to 6 weeks depending on your hair growth cycle.
Is hair removal painful?
Some methods like waxing and threading can cause mild discomfort, especially for first-timers. However, the sensation usually decreases over time with regular treatments. Creams and shaving are generally painless.
How should I prepare my skin before a waxing treatment?
Ensure the area is clean and dry. Avoid applying moisturisers or oils beforehand. For best results, hair should be around ¼ inch long. Exfoliating 24 hours prior can help prevent ingrown hairs.
What’s the difference between soft wax and hard wax?
Soft wax requires a strip to remove the wax and hair, making it ideal for large areas like legs and arms. Hard wax is gentler and used on smaller, more sensitive areas like the face or bikini line.
