Professional Discreet Experienced

I’m a licensed Aesthetician, specializing in fullbody waxing for both men and women. I’ve been waxing for over 10 years and I only use the highest quality products. I have a private room in a salon with a laidback, but professional atmosphere.

I provide complete waxing services for both male and female clients. Waxing is a safe, quick and easy way to rid yourself of unwanted body hair.

Over the last 20-30 years, waxing has become more popular as a method of hair removal, for both men and women. When deciding to get into this profession, I was amazed at how much misinformation was out there. So I’m going to try to set you straight about waxing, since I shoot from the hip, here goes.

Waxing basics.

There are 2 types of wax, commonly known as “soft/strip" wax and “hard” wax. Soft/Strip wax has a sticky consistency. It is spread in a thin layer over the skin, and then a cloth is applied over it. The cloth is quickly removed along with the hair. Soft/strip wax is great for less sensitive and large areas of the body such as legs, chest and back. Hard wax is applied to the skin and cools down causing it to set up. Forming itself into a wax strip, which is then removed. Hard wax is the only wax I use on more delicate areas such as the face and private parts.

Do not let anyone use soft/strip wax on your genitals. If you do, it’s going to greatly increase the pain as well as increase the chances of peeling some of your skin off with it. That is not good.

Both types of wax are often referred to as hot wax. It’s necessary to warm the wax in order to use it, but it is not actually hot. It's just warm. It’s not going to burn.

Hair needs to be a minimum of ¼ inch long in order to get a good result. If you’ve been shaving the area to be waxed, you probably need to wait at least 2-3 weeks before you get waxed.

Ok waxing hurts. I won't lie to you. But I also have to tell you that it doesn’t hurt nearly as bad as you imagine it does. It's nothing like in the movies. It’s a very quick pain and an experienced waxer makes a huge difference in the amount of pain you will experience. It only hurts during that moment when the wax is actually being pulled off like pulling off a band aid. My clients always tell me Yeah, it hurt, but not as bad as I thought it would. And you kept my mind off it by talking me through it.

Technique also plays a big role in the pain factor and many clients tell me that it hurt less with me then it has with previous experiences. Why, because experience matters. Seriously, it’s really not that bad.

So why wax instead of just shaving? Lots of good reasons: First of all, there is much less problem of ingrown hairs with waxing. Secondly, there is no itching when the hair grows back. The hair that grows back is soft and not stubbly. You aren’t cutting off a mature hair; you are growing a brand new soft hair. Thirdly, waxing doesn’t take nearly as much maintenance as shaving. Finally, no razor burn!

How long does waxing last? Your first wax will grow back a bit faster than subsequent waxes. You’ll probably start to notice a small amount of re-growth in 10 days or so, but remember, it won’t be like the hair growing back after shaving. I usually recommend that my clients wax every 4 weeks. By the 3rd wax, you find that the whole thing is a breeze.
