It Was Acceptable In The 80's
Waxing All Day Every Day! @bikiniwaxshack
Waxing has been around for centuries. Due to the advances in technology, wax and waxing products have advanced and for the better. Bikini Wax Shack uses the latest advanced hot wax for all intimate, facial and underarm treatments. The wax has a lower melting point, is fully synthetic, is cruelty free, vegan and peelable. For your treatment, this means the wax never reaches a temperature that will burn you, it is hypoallergenic so great for even the most sensitive skins and those who have allergies to normal waxing products, the wax when applied will encase the hair completely and set remaining pliable so when it is removed it only removes the hair, this along with skilled technique will make the experience less painful and kinder to your skin.
If your salon uses strip wax on intimate areas, you should be asking yourself why? The only reason I can think of is it is cheaper; it certainly isn’t for your benefit.
Hygiene is also important to note... in the past it was deemed acceptable to use the same spatula throughout a treatment... meaning if an intimate wax was being performed that spatula went from the pot to the intimate area then back into the pot and would only be changed if pinpoint bleeding occurred, although a new spatula would be used for the next client the previous client’s sweat and other secretions would be in the wax pot #Vom #SoDisgusting
Bikini Wax Shack never double dips and uses a new spatula for each dip in to the wax pot, as soon as the spatula is used it is disposed of. We also wear a clean pair of nitrile gloves for each client which are also sanitised. All equipment including tools and the treatment bed are disinfected at the end of each treatment, the bin is emptied, and a fresh spa sheet is used ready for the next client. We even have a talking steriliser! #59s
So, when you are at your next wax appointment, make a point of looking at what they are doing, are they wearing gloves? is the treatment room clean? Are they double dipping? Are they disinfecting and sterilising their tweezers and scissors? Are they changing out the bin, can you see the previous client’s wax strips? Have they wiped down the bed? Are the pots clean or dripping in wax? These are all things they SHOULD be doing, otherwise it is unacceptable.

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
