Hot Wax vs Warm Wax Whats the Difference?
Hot wax is applied in a thicker layer and removed without strips. Its ideal for sensitive areas like the bikini line, face, or underarms. It grips the hair without pulling the skin, making it a gentler option for those prone to irritation.
Warm wax is applied in a thin layer and removed using strips. Its quick and efficient for larger areas such as legs, arms, and back.
We’ll always advise on the best wax to use for your treatment based on the area and your skin’s needs.
Pre-Treatment Advice
To ensure the best results and comfort:
– Exfoliate gently 24 hours before your appointment to remove dead skin cells and help prevent ingrown hairs.
– Clean skin: Avoid lotions, oils, or creams on the day of waxing.
– Hair length: Ensure hair is at least ¼ inch long.
– Avoid caffeine or alcohol just before waxing — they can make skin more sensitive.
– Wear loose clothing for comfort, especially for body or bikini waxing.
Aftercare Tips
To keep your skin smooth and prevent irritation:
First 24–48 Hours:
– Avoid hot showers, saunas, sun exposure, swimming, and exercise (heat and sweat can irritate the skin).
– Do not use perfumed lotions, deodorants, or tanning products on waxed areas.
– Do not touch or scratch the area — it can cause irritation or infection.
– Apply a soothing lotion or aloe vera gel to calm the skin.
– Wear loose, breathable clothing.
After 48 Hours:
– Begin gentle exfoliation 2–3 times per week to prevent ingrown hairs.
– Keep skin moisturized with a light, fragrance-free lotion.
– Continue regular waxing for smoother, finer regrowth.
FAQs
Waxing is a method of semi-permanent hair removal that removes hair from the root using warm or hot wax. It leaves the skin smooth and hair-free for several weeks.
Typically 3–6 weeks, depending on your hair growth rate and the area waxed. With regular waxing, hair grows back finer and sparser over time.
Hair should be about ¼ inch (6 mm) long — roughly the length of a grain of rice — for best results. If it’s too short, the wax may not grip; too long, it may cause more discomfort.
A slight sting or discomfort is normal, especially for first-timers, but it lessens with regular waxing as hair becomes finer. Deep breathing and staying relaxed help minimise pain.
Yes, but let your esthetician know. They can use gentle wax formulas suitable for sensitive skin and avoid irritation.
Most people can wax safely, but avoid waxing if you have:
- Sunburn, rashes, cuts, or open sores
- Recent chemical peels, microdermabrasion, or laser treatments
- Are using Retin-A, Accutane, or certain acne medications (consult your doctor)
Almost all areas of the body including eyebrows, upper lip, face, underarms, arms, legs, bikini, Brazilian, back, and chest.
Yes — it’s generally safe. However, skin may be more sensitive due to hormonal changes. Always consult your doctor if unsure.
Every 4–6 weeks, depending on your personal hair growth cycle.
