You've done it, you've finally made the to decision to get waxed. So lets get you on the path to being hair and care free! We want to make this as comfortable as it possibly can be, so heres what to expect for your first wax!
When you arrive, you will be greeted with one of our therapists friendly faces and asked if you have an appointment.
If we aren't yet ready for you, you will be asked to take a seat. If we are ready, we will take you into the treatment room.
Once in the room, we will ask if you have been waxed before and how you are feeling. We will then advise you how to get ready - this will be to remove your pants (don't worry, we've seen it all, day in day out!) and lie up on the couch underneath the couch roll. We will then leave you to get ready. Our room is always nice and toasty to help you with maximum comfort.
After a few minutes we will re-enter the room and get ready to start your wax. We will check the temperature of the wax, we only use hot wax which is much gentlier on the skin, and a lot less painful than strip wax!
We will then ask you to place your legs in the butterfly position. Feet together and legs dropped out to either side.
Your therapist will apply small sections of wax using clean spatulas (we never double dip into the wax pot! We use fresh spatulas with every dip). We will start at the outside and work in the way - this also helps with pain as your adrenaline will kick in during the easier bits!
*It is very important that you let your therapist know if the wax feels too hot on your skin. It should feel slightly hot but should cool pretty quickly.
Your therapist will likely apply several small sections at the same time to allow them time to cool, making this treatment much faster and more comfortable for you!
The therapist will engage in conversation with you, as to relax you and distract you from any uncomfortable bits. We will also guide you through by focusing on your breathing. Taking big deep breaths in and out will help you deal with any discomfort you might experience.
Once the front is hair free, we will offer you a bum wax. This bit is pretty painless and over very quickly. We will use a variety of positions to get the best results, but most likely will be bringing your knees up to your chest. Some other salons will use the hand and knees - think table top/cat/cow yoga position. But this is our least favourite position for your comfort.
Once completed, we will sooth your skin with after wax lotion. Then we will leave you to get ready.
Congratulations - you've just completed your first wax!! 🥳🥳🥳
I promise the next time isn't as difficult! Its much less painful, and the treatment doesn't take as long - Well Done on taking this 1st step!
