Why should I choose waxing for unwanted hair removal?
Waxing has always been the first choice for removing unwanted hair. There were even waxing salons in Ancient Egypt.
Waxing is clean and effective and is suitable for all types of hair all over the body.
The beauty of waxing is that it removes hair from the follicle instead of cutting it off at the skin level, like shaving.
Regrowth after waxing is soft, unlike shaving stubble, which makes it ideal for sensitive areas and under the arms.
How long does a waxing session take?
Waxing sessions last from 15 minutes. Our waxing experts work quickly and can remove unwanted hair from the chin or brow area in no time.
Bikini waxing and larger areas like the chest, arms or back will take longer.
How long will my skin stay smooth after hair removal by waxing?
Everyone’s hair grows at different speeds, so it is impossible to say how long your skin will stay smooth after waxing.
Your hairs are always at different stages in their growth cycle.
It is important to realise that it may take up to four waxing sessions for all the hairs to be caught in their active phase, which is the best time to remove them.
This means that you may find some hairs regrowing faster than others after the first few hair removal sessions.
How often will I need to have a waxing treatment?
Once all their hairs have been caught in their active phase, most of our Shepherd’s Bush clients in West London like to schedule waxing every month or so.
When you have been having waxing treatments for a while, you will notice that your regrowth becomes softer and slower, and you can extend the period between treatments.
Does waxing hurt?
We won’t pretend there is no feeling when your unwanted hair is removed with wax, but our therapists know what they are doing. Their skill and speed minimise discomfort, and wax strip removal takes only seconds.
Our Shepherd’s Bush clients think the silky smooth results are worth it.
Can the wax irritate the skin?
It is common to find small red dots on your skin after waxing, and you may find that the treated area is tender or more sensitive than usual. This is normal, and any redness will quickly subside.
The therapists at our Shepherd’s Bush clinic always apply a soothing lotion after waxing to minimise any sensitivity.
Skin reactions will reduce as you have more waxing sessions.
Will I need to remove my underwear for bikini wax at the Shepherd’s Bush clinic?
You can leave your underwear on if you have a bikini wax.
If you are having Brazilian waxing, you must remove your underwear, but we will protect your modesty with a towel.
Can I have wax treatments if I have my period?
We are happy to perform waxing during your period, but you may find that you are a little more sensitive to the experience than usual.
You will need to use a tampon during your treatment.
Can I have a bikini wax if I am pregnant?
There is no need to suspend your regular waxing sessions because you are pregnant.
Our therapists have treated many pregnant clients, and they will ensure that you are comfortable during your treatments.
Will I need any downtime after hair removal in Shepherd’s Bush?
You won’t need any downtime after your hair removal session, but it is important to be extra kind to your skin for a day or so.
Try not to rub the treated area and avoid heat sources like hot baths, showers, or sun exposure.
You may find that your deodorant or highly perfumed skin products make your skin feel more sensitive, so it is best to wait at least a day before resuming their use.
Popular waxing services at our Shepherd’s Bush clinic
We can treat unwanted hair on your face and body wherever it sprouts. Hair removal with waxing is popular among male and female clients.
Options for female clients
Our Shepherd’s Bush clients choose wax for facial hair removal because it is so clean and fast.
Our female clients love it for removing unwanted hair from the chin and upper lip and find it quicker and less painful than eyebrow threading.
Bikini waxing is always popular, as is hair removal for the legs and underarms.
An added benefit of waxing is its exfoliating effect. The wax pulls the dull layer of dead cells off the skin as it removes the hair, leaving the skin silky smooth.
Hair removal for men
Our male clients at the Shepherd’s Bush clinic often request waxing to give a more defined shape to their beards and brows.
Hairy chests and backs can be uncomfortable, itchy, and sweaty during sports, and many male clients choose the fresher, cleaner feeling of waxed skin.
We do not offer wax hair removal for male intimate areas
What are my options when it comes to hair removal with wax?
We offer our clients a choice of warm or hot wax, giving excellent results every time.
Warm Wax
The strip wax or warm wax method is suitable for all areas.
When using this method, your therapist will spread a thin layer or strip of comfortably warm wax on a small skin area and then quickly remove it.
Hot Wax
Hot wax is still comfortable but hot enough to open the pores, making hair removal easier.
Our Shepherd’s Bush clients prefer intimate waxing with hot wax as it is gentler on the skin.
Do I need to grow my unwanted hair before wax hair removal?
There does need to be enough hair for the wax to hold onto, so you should allow for some growth before your waxing session.
If you are having a Brazilian wax, your hair must be at least two to three millimetres in length.
Three to four millimetres is sufficient for other parts of the body.
Do I need to prepare my skin for my hair removal treatment in Shepherd’s Bush, London?
Our therapists won’t wax your skin if it’s sore or damaged, so please avoid sun exposure or sunbed use for at least 24 hours before your hair removal appointment.
How much does waxing cost at Simply Clinics?
Waxing prices start at £6 for the upper lip.
