A professional, non-permanent hair removal option for areas not yet treated with laser or Thermolysis, or for clients still exploring their options.
or call 083 305 9704
A flexible in-between.
Waxing is our non-permanent solution to hair removal. It is available for clients who want to manage areas not covered by laser or Thermolysis treatment, or for those who are still deciding on a permanent hair reduction method.
Our waxing specialist will focus on the areas you need, using the most appropriate wax type for your skin and hair.
Is waxing right for you?
- Clients currently on a laser or Thermolysis programme who need other areas managed in the meantime
- Anyone not yet ready for permanent hair removal but wanting a longer-lasting result than shaving
- Clients with skin types or conditions that require a gentler approach before committing to laser
If you have been struggling with ingrown hairs from waxing, laser hair removal is worth considering. All our clients who previously had ingrown hairs have found that laser eliminates the problem entirely, and any marks left by ingrown hairs tend to fade once laser treatment begins.
The right wax for the area.
Soft wax
Strip waxing
A warm wax is spread thinly over the skin in the direction of hair growth. A paper strip is applied, adhered to the wax and skin, and then quickly removed in the opposite direction, taking the wax and hair with it. Hair needs to be at least a quarter centimetre long to adhere to the strip properly.
Stripless wax
Hard waxing
Hard wax is applied in a thicker layer in the direction of hair growth and hardens as it cools. It wraps around the hair and acts as its own strip, removed quickly in the opposite direction. Hard wax is especially suited to sensitive skin and more delicate areas. Hair needs to be at least a quarter centimetre long, though hard wax may remove slightly shorter hair.

Potential side effects
- Some discomfort is expected. We will do everything possible to make the experience as comfortable as we can
- Some clients experience ingrown hairs. If this is an ongoing issue, it may be worth exploring laser hair removal as a permanent solution
- Minor redness or small bumps are possible. Let your therapist know if this has been a concern for you before
When waxing may not be suitable
You may be more prone to skin lifting (where the top layer of skin tears during treatment) if any of the following apply. Please inform your therapist before your appointment:
01
Recent use of Retin-A, retinoids, or AHA/BHA acid-based products
02
Recent chemical peel, microdermabrasion, or surgical peel
03
Use of medications for autoimmune diseases such as lupus
04
Use of prednisone or steroids
05
Psoriasis, eczema, or other chronic skin conditions in the area
06
Use of blood-thinning medication
When in doubt, let us know at booking. We would rather take the time to assess your suitability than risk skin damage.

Your questions, answered.
Can I wax between laser sessions?
No. If you are currently on a laser treatment programme, you must not wax the areas being lasered. Waxing removes the hair from the follicle, which the laser needs to be present to target. You may shave or use hair removal cream between sessions, but not wax or pluck.
How long does hair need to be?
At least a quarter centimetre, or visibly above the skin surface. If you are unsure, your therapist will check before starting.
How long do results last?
Most clients see regrowth within four to six weeks, depending on their individual hair growth cycle.
What is the difference between strip and hard wax?
Strip wax (soft wax) is thinner and better suited to larger areas with finer hair. Hard wax (stripless) wraps around the hair itself and is gentler on sensitive skin. Your therapist will recommend the most appropriate option for each area.
