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.

Where to find it in London

Mayfair, Knightsbridge and Chelsea hold the advanced skin clinics and the flagship brow and lash studios, where consultations come first, treatments are sold as courses and prices run well above the rest of the city. Soho and Shoreditch are the home of the nail art studios and the late-opening lash bars, busy after work and booked solid on Friday evenings. Kensington and Paddington mix long-established neighbourhood salons with threading bars and laser clinics, and Canary Wharf is a weekday market built around lunchtime appointments: express facials, gel manicures and brow shapes squeezed into an hour.
