Wax Removal

Waxing body hair dates back centuries and has become the most common and desired form of hair removal. Efficient, long lasting, affordable, and easily accessible makes waxing the most popular form of hair removal. The best part of waxing is that since the hair is being pulled from the root, the follicle will be damaged with each wax session making the hair grow back slower, finer and more sparse.

Understanding Hair Removal

Shaving is the quickest and most cost-effective option but with the least desirable results. Shaving is the act of using a razor to remove the hair. The hair is removed at skin level leaving smooth skin for a very short amount of time, 24 hours or less. Removing the hair with a razor strengthens the hair follicle making the hair more coarse and dense over time, the result is rough stubble when the hair grows back. Ingrown hair and unsightly dark hair follicles seen mostly on the legs and underarms are also more prevalent. Add to that the nicks, scrapes and band-aids and shaving is quickly ranked the least favorite choice for hair removal.


Depilatory creams, also in the form of gel or foam, contain strong ingredients such as calcium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide and potassium which break down the keratin in the hair literally dissolving the hair within a few minutes. Cost effective and relatively time efficient, but messy. Emphasis on messy. Irritation or damage to the skin is possible so great care must be taken. Depilatory creams will remove the hair slightly below the surface of the skin resulting in a smooth surface for a day or so longer than shaving. The mess is not worth it.

Do's & Don'ts

Do: grow the hair to 1/4 inch. If the hair is long, trim it to this length to minimize discomfort.
Do: moisturize & exfoliate to keep the skin healthy and prevent hair from becoming dry. If the hair is not hydrated it is more likely to break during waxing.
Do: adhere to a waxing schedule of 3-5 weeks for best results and to plan for special events.
Don't: shave between wax appointments - shaving will stimulate hair growth and encourage the hair to grow back faster, thicker, coarser.
