Facial and Leg Waxing

For facial and leg waxing I use the roller wax method of hair removal.

What is roller waxing?

The roller wax system is a revolutionary new way of applying wax to the body. It uses rollers rather than a spatula type techniques. The advantage of roller waxing is simple – it’s a heck of a lot quicker than the old school methods, which means it hurts less and you don’t have to spend hours in uncomfortable positions while someone pokes at you with a little bit of wood. The roller wax treatments are ideal for those who have limited time and access to the Spa – if you need to, I can get your legs done in a lunch hour and still leave you time for lunch!

Why choose roller wax?

Rather than the possibility of someone re-dipping a spatula into a wax pot and contaminating the wax for future clients, the roller wax system is a quick, accurate and hygienic method of wax application. The roller heads are easily removed, cleaned and sanitised after each client, therefore eliminating any cross contamination.

Under Arm & Intimate Waxing

For under arm and intimate waxing I use the a spatula technique with Outback Organic's peelable wax.

Why use a peelable wax for sensitive areas?

Peelable wax is used for sensitive areas because it adheres to the hair rather than the skin, which minimizes pain, irritation, and skin trauma. It works by gripping the hair as the wax cools and hardens, then removing the hair from the root when pulled off without a strip. This makes it gentler and less likely to cause redness or skin lifting compared to strip wax, which sticks to both hair and skin.

Benefits of using peelable wax for sensitive areas

Less skin irritation: Peelable wax is gentler because it avoids the strong pull on the skin that strip wax can cause, leading to less redness and irritation.
Less pain: By adhering only to the hair and not the skin, it results in a more comfortable and less painful waxing experience.
Effective on short hair: It is effective at grabbing shorter, more stubborn hairs, which is ideal for intimate waxing.
No strips needed: The wax dries on the skin and is removed directly.
Sensitive area friendly: It is specifically formulated and recommended for sensitive areas like the underarms and intimate zones.

What is intimate waxing?

Intimate waxing is the removal of hair from the pubic area, including the bikini line, Brazilian, and Hollywood styles. It involves applying wax to the hair and removing it with the wax itself as it hardens, leaving skin smooth. Different types of waxes cater to various levels of hair removal, from just the sides of the bikini line to a full, complete removal of all pubic hair.

Types of female intimate waxing

Standard Bikini Line Wax: Removes hair from the area visible outside of a standard bikini bottom or underwear line.
Extended Bikini Line Wax: Removes more hair from the sides and top than a standard bikini wax, creating a narrower strip and a cleaner look for more revealing swimwear.
Brazilian Wax: Removes most of the hair, but leaves a small strip or shape of hair at the front.
Hollywood Wax: Removes all hair from the front, underneath, and back for a completely smooth finish.
