First Time Wax?

First Time Wax?
Thinking about switching from shaving to waxing? sick of stubble and razor rash... Scared of the unknown, will it hurt? decisions, decisions!
Bikini Wax Shack will take the time to make you comfortable, informed and hair free for up to 4 - 6 weeks. How amazing would that be! not having to shave daily.
Before you get waxed you will need to let your hair grow for at least 3 weeks... yes, I know - 3 WEEKS. The hair needs to be long enough for the wax to grip it and it be removed effectively. Before your wax it is advisable to start exfoliating the skin and moisturising daily (just not on the day of your wax) this will help to slough off those dead skin cells and make the wax treatment more comfortable.
Will it hurt? well, we all have different pain thresholds and sensitivities, so what can be painful for one is not for another... whatever your threshold it isn't something unbearable as otherwise nobody would have it done would they! The more waxes you have the finer your hair will become and will be easier to remove each time.
As you have never been waxed before you would need to come in first for a patch test. A patch test is just to determine if you have any allergic reaction to the wax or pre and post lotions used. If all is ok after 24 hours you can be waxed. During the patch test I will be able to answer any of your questions or concerns.
So, what are you waiting for? Book your patch test today!

Reopening on the horizon @bikiniwaxshack The Government announcement last night confirmed that close contact services (me!) will potentially be able to reopen from Monday 12th April, this date, however, will be confirmed the week before, so it is still speculative and not 100% guaranteed. I choose to be positive and that we can go ahead! so online booking is open from Monday 12th April. If you have been shaving or using hair removal creams during lockdown this is totally fine, absolutely no judgement from me! Just remember that I need a minimum of 3 weeks hair growth to wax you effectively. If you let it grow, that’s fine too! Please don’t worry about the length of your hair or be embarrassed about having hair, I will trim the hair to the correct length if I need to – if you are going to do this yourself the hair needs to be a minimum of 1cm, a good guide is the length of a grain of rice. As always, skin preparation and maintenance are going to be the key to great results! Get buffing, scrubbing and moisturising now.. scrub 2-3 times a week and moisturise daily. I am a big fan of using body oil on wet skin after bathing, it really is the quickest, easiest, and most effective way. Get in touch if you wish to purchase any of my retail items. I can arrange delivery or contactless collection. Government guidance and my booking conditions regarding Covid-19 remain unchanged. I will continue to provide a ‘Covid Secure’ environment for your protection and mine. I will of course notify you of any changes as and when they become known. Tami x
