THE HOLLYWOOD WAX: Taking it all off
First things first, We’re not called Waxing Hairy Intimate Places for nothing! Now let’s get down to the nitty gritty.
What actually is a Hollywood wax? A Hollywood wax involves removing all the hair from your intimate area, including your pubic mound, labia and your anus. Yep I said it, the anus…boom! it’s all going to go!
If you’re feeling nervous, please remember that while you are beautifully unique, we’ve seen it all before (many times).
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING A HOLLYWOOD WAXING SESSION:
Now, let’s walk through this together. What can you expect from your first waxing session? Firstly, you will be asked to remove all your clothes from the waist down, including underwear. Once on the couch your therapist will apply a hot wax to your intimate area that is suitable for your skin type. The hot wax will cool quickly and harden. At this point the wax will be removed in its entirety, pulling the hair out by its root, et voila your skin will be left smooth!
The truth of the matter is that waxing can’t be done without some discomfort, but the good news is that it’s extremely short lived. It’s only uncomfortable for the split second that the wax is removed and in this instance, the pro’s far out way the con’s. Also, the more you’re waxed the less painful it becomes over time. If this is your first wax and you need to take a breather don’t be afraid to speak up, but we always find that it’s best to crack on and get it done.
TIPS FOR BEFORE AND AFTER A HOLLYWOOD WAX:
Now that you know what to expect during your Hollywood waxing session, let’s talk about how to prepare beforehand and tips for aftercare.
Firstly, make sure your hair is long enough for the wax to grip onto. We recommend about 2-3 weeks of growth from your last hair removal, whatever the method you chose. Come fresh and clean. This helps remove any bacteria that can sit on the skin pre wax and minimise the chance of any unwanted spots post wax. If possible a gentle exfoliation beforehand can help prevent the possibility of ingrown hairs. We want to maximise the overall smooth feeling and pleasant aesthetic.
If it’s an option wear loose, comfortable clothing to your appointment as tight clothes can irritate your skin after your wax. Wearing cotton underwear is recommended over lace or other materials. Cotton permits airflow! Avoid caffeine or alcohol; both these are stimulants and can make you more sensitive to pain.
Finally, don’t forget to take care of your skin after the wax. We recommend avoiding hot showers or baths, tight clothing and exercise for at least 24 hours.
In summary, the Hollywood waxing trend revolves around complete hair removal, fostering confidence, and embracing your sensuality. With a clear understanding of the session’s procedure and necessary preparations, you’re well-equipped to schedule your appointment and embrace the experience fully. Our skilled therapists prioritise your comfort and efficiency, ensuring you leave feeling empowered and beautiful. Don’t hesitate—book your appointment today and prepare to feel fabulous.
