1)   How long should my hair be to wax it?
1/2cm long.   Basically if you have been waxing leave it to grow for 4 weeks.   If you have been shaving leave it to grow for 2 weeks.

2)   Should I trim before I come?
No, leave that to us.   You may trim it too short or worse still, cut yourself!

3)   What underwear should I wear?
That depends.   Your worst undies always because you will get talc and possibly wax on them.   Keep your knickers small for bikini line waxes but if it's a Brazilian you're after you will need to remove them anyway.

4)   That sounds embarassing?!  
Don't feel embarassed.   There is nothing I haven't seen and I do it all day every day so I'm used to it!

5)   Is it going to really hurt?
It will smart of course but the pain is instant and doesn't linger so you won't feel any discomfort after you leave.   100% of my clients that haven't had it before said it was far less painful than what they were expecting.

6) OK...so now I'm convinced...but what's the difference between all these fancy bikini line waxes?
A basic bikini line wax is just waxing the hairs outside of the normal pair of knickers.
A G-string wax is the same only waxing the hairs outside of a thong/G-string.
A Brazilian wax is leaving only a strip of hair at the front.   All the hair from the underneath and the back is removed.   The size and shape is left up to you.
A Hollywood wax is removing everything - even the Brazilian strip.
There are no rules, you can have what you want!!

7)   What are ingrown hairs?
Ingrown hairs can occur with shaving, using depilatory creams, waxing, basically anything that you do that   tampers with the hair growth.   Waxing a hair is more likely to cause ingrown hairs because you are removing the hair completely.   The hair grows back and sometimes gets stuck in the skin causing irritation or infections (this will look like a spot).   This is because the pulling has caused distress and distorted the follicle causing the regrowth   occasionally to point in slightly   the wrong direction.

8)   How can I prevent this?
Scrub your skin twice a week with a body exfoliator/scrub.   Use a salty/gritty product rather than a body brush or loofah,   it is more effective.   Then apply lotion to keep the skin soft.

9)   Why is hot wax better if you suffer with these ingrown hairs?
Because of the heat.   It is applied to the skin and left to set for a few seconds which warms and opens the pores allowing the hair to be removed with ease.   This also means you get significantly less breakage than with other waxing systems that simply remove the hairs by sticking to them and often snapping them off half way down the hair shaft in the process.

10)   I'm not sure I like the idea of hot wax being applied to my bikini line?!
Don't worry.   The temperature is very comfortable.   Most of my clients find the warmth soothing and the best thing about it!   It makes it less painful than any other waxing method.

11)   So, how long before my holiday/special   occasion   should I get a wax?
As close as you can really,   a   day or two before.   This wax is great for sensitive skins.   The redness will go down very quickly afterwards.   Even for the most sensitive skin the maximum time the redness would last should be 24 hours.

12)   And how long will the   wax last?
That depends on the clients individual hair growth.   But most people have a wax every 4-6 weeks.   After about 3 weeks there will be a fair   amount of regrowth but not enough really to wax.   I always recommend never to leave it more than 6 weeks because very long hairs can be easily broken and also if there are lots of long hairs this could mean there's a higher chance of a second regrowth about to come through and therefore you won't get as long out of your wax.

13)   Why can't I find Hot Wax in every salon?
This method was around for years before warm wax or strip wax as it is more commonly known.   When strip wax came into the beauty industry everyone marvelled at how much more economical it was for there business.   It didn't take long for the Hot wax to die out, particularly as traditionally it was recycled and as we became more health conscious obviously this was frowned upon.   Thankfully there were a few salons that just didn't want to change to strip waxing and so there are a small number of young therapists, like myself, that are trained in this dying art.   So...I am here to offer it to you!   I use the best quality wax on the market and I only ever use fresh, clean wax.  

With over 11 years experience I promise you it will be difficult to find many who wax better!
