Waxing

There are two different types of wax treatments that I offer to clients, hot wax and strip wax. The type you choose will depend on the area you are having waxed, how it suits your skin and of course your own personal preference.

I am more than happy to talk over the different options available to help you choose the most suitable treatments for you.

This technique is a demanding art that requires quality wax and true expertise

This non strip wax is very supple for a comfortable application. It adapts a shrink wrapping technique where only the hairs are captured, freeing the skin for a much needed no problem way of removing the hairs from delicate and sensitive areas without damaging the skin. This reduces ingrown hairs and no uncomfortable after effects

Strip wax consists of resin, paraffin wax, glucose syrup and honey. Warm wax is smoothed onto the skin in a thin layer and immediately covered with a fabric or paper strip which is pressed/rubbed onto the waxed area before being removed in a quick swipe. 

Before your treatment

Prepare

  • If you have any allergies or skins sensitivity, a patch test is recommended 24-48 hours before treatment
  • Although Sienna X waxes can grab very short hairs, for comfort, it is recommended that you have at least 3 weeks of hair growth before treatment (5-10mm).
  • Avoid using tanning products, UV or electrical treatments, saunas or steam rooms for 24 hours prior to treatment.

Clean

  • Gently exfoliate the area a day before the treatment.
  • Avoid using lotions or cosmetics on the treatment area on the day of your appointment.
