Strip wax is applied thinly to the skin and removed with a strip. It’s ideal for less sensitive skin and grabs fine hair effectively.
Hot wax is applied directly to the skin, allowed to cool and harden, then pulled off without a strip. It’s gentler on delicate areas like the upper lip and eyebrows as well as clients on high levels of Vitamin A.
Both methods provide smooth results lasting up to 3–4 weeks.

+ People who prefer quick and efficient hair removal
What is facial waxing?
Facial waxing is a hair removal method where warm or hot wax is used to remove unwanted hair from areas like the upper lip, chin, cheeks, and eyebrows.
Does facial waxing hurt?
There is a quick, stinging sensation during removal, but discomfort is usually brief. Hot wax tends to be gentler on sensitive areas than strip wax.
How long do the results last?
Results typically last 3 to 4 weeks, depending on individual hair growth cycles.
Will my hair grow back thicker?
No — hair may actually grow back finer and softer over time with regular waxing.
Can I wax if I have sensitive skin?
Yes, but it’s best to speak to your therapist first and we recommend using hot wax, which is gentler.
What should I do before a waxing appointment?
Clean your face, avoid heavy makeup
Avoid exfoliating or using retinoids 24–48 hours before
What should I do after waxing?
Avoid sun exposure, sweating, and makeup for 24 hours
Apply a soothing lotion or aloe vera
Don’t touch or pick the waxed area
Is facial waxing safe for all skin types?
Generally yes, but people with certain skin conditions (like eczema, acne, or using strong skincare products) should take extra caution.
