Question 1

What is a Brazilian/Hollywood Wax?

Accepted Answer

A Hollywood and a Brazilian are both forms of intimate waxing. A Hollywood removes all the hair from the intimate area, front and back, while a Brazilian leaves a small strip or triangle at the front if you prefer. Both treatments are tailored to your comfort and preferences, and we'll explain everything before we begin so you know exactly what to expect.  We only ever use peelable wax for this treatment.You can read more on our blog about Brazilian/Hollywood waxes.

Question 2

I'm a Man and I Have Questions!

Accepted Answer

We see lots of men in our waxing studio—around 40% of our clients identify as male. From intimate waxing and back waxing to full neck-down body hair removal, you'll receive a warm welcome. Many people arrive feeling nervous, but our priority is to put you at ease and reassure you that waxing is usually much quicker and far less daunting than you expected.​Our male clients come from all walks of life and all age groups, although many are in their 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond. In fact, our oldest regular waxing client is in his 80s! If you haven't already, have a read of our blog on men's general waxing or intimate waxing for a comprehensive guide to preparing for your appointment, what to expect and aftercare. If your question isn't answered there, please don't hesitate to get in touch—we're always happy to help.

Question 3

How Long Should the Hair Be?

Accepted Answer

This is a really great (and very important!) question. The correct length of hair will ensure that your wax removes as much hair as possible. A good rule of thumb is 3-4 weeks growth after shaving or using depilatory cream. Of course, some people's hair grows faster than others, but we have found this to be a good general guideline. To ensure the best results, aim for 4 weeks to make sure all hair is long enough to remove (giving you a longer hair-free period post wax). Whilst we appreciate this can be difficult, we can assure you that you will see the benefit when you have had your wax! Worried your hair is too long? Trimming to an appropriate length is all part of the service and is best left to us, whichever part of the body you are concerned with! We would actually prefer that you don’t trim yourself, just in case you take it too short and we have to send you away again for a little regrowth!

Question 4

Can I Have An Intimate Wax On My Period?

Accepted Answer

Yes, absolutely. We frequently wax people who are menstruating. There are occasions when you are trying to keep within your waxing cycle that this is necessary. All we ask is that you are clean and fresh, and you wear a tampon/cup etc.You can read much more about this on our blog post Can I Get Waxed on My Period?

Question 5

Can I Be Waxed if I'm Pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! We fully appreciate that when you are growing another human you still want to look and feel your best and are more than happy to facilitate that!If you'd like to read more about this, our blog post Waxing During Pregnancy: Is It Safe? is a great place to start.

Question 6

Is There Anything I Can Do to Prepare?

Accepted Answer

Most important is to make sure your hair is long enough, and that you are hygienic. We also encourage all our clients to exfoliate 2-3 times a week and to lightly moisturise also. This will help to remove any dead skin cells and prevent ingrown hairs on regrowth. Applying heavy moisturisers on the area to be waxed on the day can be unhelpful as although we do cleanse the area before treatment, thickly applied products can be hard to remove and could affect the quality of your waxing treatment.If you want more info on this, check out our How to Prepare for Your Wax blog post.

Question 7

How Soon Before My Holiday Should I Wax?

Accepted Answer

If you are going on holiday, please note the 24-48 hour recommended time to keep out of direct sunlight, and for first time clients especially we would recommend adhering to 48 hours.More comprehensive info can be found on our blog post How to Time Your Waxing Appointments Before a Holiday
