When receiving a waxing treatment it is important that you observe the hygiene procedures followed by The BeautyHut. Do not be alarmed if we wear disposable gloves for the treatment, this will provide protection for everyone and is good practice. We also never double dip spatulas thus avoiding and cross contamination in wax pots.

Waxing is a very popular and successful treatment.  The effects will last for between 4 to 6 weeks on the body, and up to 2 weeks on the face. This will vary with each individual and re-growth is normally faster in the warmer months of the year. As the hair is removed from the root, the hair grows back with a fine soft tip unlike when the hair is shaved and it feels rough to touch. There are a number of conditions that are not suitable for waxing treatments such as varicose veins, thread veins, very sensitive skins and certain medical conditions that may affect the healing of the skin. We will offer advice concerning these conditions and discuss alternative treatments.

How long should the hair be to achieve a successful waxing treatment?

Ideally a minimum of 1/4 inch or approximately 1cm. It is important to understand that the hair grows in a three-stage cycle and not all hairs are in the same cycle at the same time. To remove as many hairs as possible in one treatment you will need to let as many hairs grow through as possible. If the legs are waxed as soon as a few hairs appear, the skin will never be free of hair.

There are a number of clients who choose to have their waxing treatments more regularly thus reducing the waiting time when hairs grow. This is a good idea in the summer. in the winter when it is easier to disguise the hairs, the treatments can be spaced out.
