About waxing
Waxing removes hair from the root, using either warm strip wax pulled off with a fabric strip or hot (film) wax that sets on the skin and is lifted away on its own. Hot wax grips the hair rather than the skin, so it is the usual choice for sensitive areas such as the underarms, bikini line and face; strip wax is quick and effective over legs, arms and backs.
The skin stays smooth for four to six weeks and, with regular appointments, regrowth often becomes finer and sparser. Salon menus list waxing by area — half leg, full leg, underarm, bikini line, brows, lip and chin — and most offer bundles. Male waxing for backs and chests is widely available too.
Hair needs to be around a quarter of an inch long for the wax to grip. Exfoliate gently a day or two before but not on the day, and avoid hot baths, sunbeds and the gym for 24 hours afterwards. Tell the therapist if you use retinoid creams, which make the skin more fragile.

Frequently asked questions
How much does waxing cost?
Typical prices outside London are £15 to £25 for a half leg, £25 to £40 for a full leg, £10 to £15 for underarms and £15 to £35 for bikini waxing depending on the style. London prices run about a third higher.
How long does hair need to be for waxing?
Around 5mm, which is usually two to three weeks of growth after shaving. Shorter hair will not grip and much longer hair is more uncomfortable to remove; ask your therapist to trim it if needed.
Does waxing get less painful?
Yes, for most people. Regular waxing weakens the hair over time, so regrowth is finer and comes out more easily. Taking a mild painkiller beforehand and avoiding the week before your period also help.
