Waxing

It has never been easier to fit in your regular waxing treatments with Fiona. Whether you’re looking for face, body or intimate hair removal services like a Brazillian wax, Fiona has you covered. Professionally trained, with many years of experience, Fiona will provide you with an expert treatment every time.

Prepare your skin by exfoliating in advance and moisturizing well. We love Shea Butter and basic Coconut oil.  Exfoliating and moisturizing will get rid of the surface dead skin and allow any small hairs to come to surface easily and be waxed away. You don’t want blocked follicles or ingrown hairs that cause little spots on holidays!

We use Waxperts and Lycon wax. This wax it is specially formulated for sensitive skin and it contains natural herbal ingredients. Whether you are a regular waxer and want to find a way to make fitting in your appointments easier, or are wanting to treat yourself to some hair removal before going off on holiday. Fiona will make time for you.

Waxing Prep

Its best to book your appointment a few days before you need to show your body off! Ideally “wax twice” before you go 3 weeks apart, so you get most of the hairs at their different growth cycles to the surface and waxed away.

Before visiting the salon prepare your skin by exfoliating 3 days in advance and moisturizing well for the few days before waxing using a body butter. We love Shea Butter, jojoba oil, the chemistry company and silcare. Ideally do this regime weekly for a few weeks before you go.

Exfoliating and moisturizing will get rid of the surface dead skin and allow any small hairs to come to surface easily and be waxed away. You dont want blocked follicles or ingrown hairs that cause little spots on holidays! If your prone to ingrown hairs for a budget topical exfoliator to apply after your treatment to keep dead skin cells from blocking those pores. We love The Ordinarys lactic acid 5%  http://theordinary.com.

The wax I use is better waxing technology pellets by professional beauty systems for facial and brow areas and Lycon for bikini areas. I use roller wax for legs. The reason i use these are because they are specially formulated for sensitive skin and it contains natural herbal ingredients and are not tested on animals. Due to it’s low operating temperature it is suitable for all parts of the body even the most sensitive areas. Every effort is made to make your waxing treatments as comfortable and efficient as possible. If you have any queries i would be happy to discuss them privately with you.
