I’m going to guess that you’re not looking forward to your post lockdown wax 😬
Leaving hair grow few extra weeks (or months!) can sometimes cause a little more discomfort when you come back in for your next appointment.
If you’re nervous this product might help ❤️
No Scream Cream uses 20% Benzocaine - which is a topical anesthetic.
Dentists use this to numb your gums before an injection 😀
Apply this cream to your bikini line 45/60 minutes before your appointment and it will seriously reduce the sting associated with intimate waxing!
Honestly if you don’t normally feel much discomfort from waxing this cream won’t do much for you.
BUT, if you’re sensitive to waxing, have strong hair or are heat sensitive this cream is a GOD SEND 😍😍
I refuse to wax without this now 😂
The tube should last for about 6 Hollywood’s and is €20.
PM us now to buy and we’ll post it out to you free of charge 😀
Also available on our website!

It looks like we are going to be reopening on Monday 10th of May!
This is NOT confirmed by the government yet, but I do think that this will be our date ❤️ I’m just going to wait until it is officially confirmed!
We had to cancel some appointments in January so these clients will be given first refusal and then I will open up the books for everyone else!
It may take a day or two to get through everyone so please be patient and keep an eye on your emails as I’ll email everyone when the books are live ❤️
Can’t wait to be back 🎉🎉🎉

We love to create natural brows, that enhance your features ❤️
One of the most common issues we see is an over plucked tail
Too much space between the arch and tail of your brow can give a puffy look to the eye
By growing the brow in a little it creates a more balanced and youthful look to the eye - with the added bonus of being easier to maintain!
These brows still have a little growing in to do but you can already see what a big difference this slight tweak has made 😀

How to be smoother than a dolphin with waxing
1. Be consistent!
When waxing it’s important to do any other type of hair removal in between. It can take up to 4-6 sessions to train your hairs to grow back together, but staying on a regular waxing schedule will mean you will be super smooth for up to 3 weeks!
2. Time your sessions right!
Everyone has a different hair growth rate, most clients start out waxing every 4 weeks but over time you may find you need to stretch those appointments out a little to maintain those smooth results. We will always advise you if you are unsure so don’t be afraid to ask
3. Homecare!
What you use at home and how often you use it can make the biggest difference to your results. Making sure you’re regularly moisturising and exfoliating will keep skin soft and supple and will actually make your next waxing appointment a lot easier!

Topical steroid use can be a problem when waxing so please always let us know if you have used any in the last 6 months.
Topical steroids can thin the skin and if we wax over an area that has been treated we can remove the top layers of skin.
This usually looks like a burn, but is actually what we call skin lifting and is more akin to a graze.
As the top layers of your skin have been weakened, sometimes it just can’t take the wax and is best avoided for 3 months.
This doesn’t mean that you can’t get any waxing done, we just need to avoid the area that was treated ❤️

FAQ: Will I get ingrown hairs with waxing?
It's possible.
Waxing removes the entire hair, root and all, from the follicle. Your skin naturally hardens and thickens over the area that was waxed so it is important to keep that area gently exfoliated.
Use a gentle scrub like ruff stuff body scrub in that area about 2 days after waxing and continue to exfoliate 2 to 3 times a week thereafter. Remember, I said gentle!
The most common cause for ingrown hairs that we see with clients is that they will forget to exfoliate for a few weeks and try to “catch up” on their exfoliating by scrubbing very hard.
Unfortunately this does not work and actually makes the problem worse. By scrubbing too hard you will cause micro scratches in the skin which will stop the hairs from growing through as the skin heals.
If you are prone to ingrown hairs try the wax:one care solution (€23) which work as an exfoliant and anti-inflammatory all in one. You can use this as both a preventative measure or as a treatment against ingrown hairs.

Did you know?
From around 1970 hot wax has been used in salons. This wax was much thicker, hotter and less flexible that the modern hot waxes we see today. The other major difference was the wax was reused. Yep, you read that right 🤢
The wax didn’t grip hair very well and was applied like a figure 8 to try and twist as much hair as possible into the wax, once the patch was set the wax was removed and placed BACK INTO THE WAX POT! 😱😱😱
Back then you had a two tier wax pot, you would place used wax strips into the upper chamber where it would remelt, and go through a small mesh filter and back into the lower chamber to be reused on the next client.
Unfortunately this filter wasn’t very good at catching all the hair, and often hair would slip past the filter and into the fresh wax.
What’s even more surprising is that clients would sometimes specifically ask for “hairy wax” if getting a bikini wax 😳
Why would anyone want that?!?
Well ...
The wax was usually quite brittle when new, and the more it was reheated the more flexible it became. The more flexible the wax, the less pain you’ll be in when getting a bikini wax!
Thankfully formulas have improved loads in the last 10-15 years and these methods are no longer needed 😅😅 Phew ....

FAQ: How long does my hair need to be to get waxed?
For the best waxing results, you should have at least 4 weeks growth from your last wax, or 3 weeks growth from your last shave.
You want the hair to be roughly the same size as a grain of rice.
You don’t need to worry about it being too long as it will be trimmed by your waxer if necessary.
Please don’t trim it yourself as usually the hair ends up being to short for us to wax!
Waxing before 3-4 weeks will result in some smaller hairs being left behind, so I know it’s hard to live with the regrowth but please be patient and you will benefit from a smoother wax that will last longer.

Should I shower before a wax?
Many clients think a hot shower just before a wax will make the service easier but in our experience we have found this to be false.
While we always appreciate you arriving fresh as a daisy to your appointment, showering just before can actually create some problems.
Firstly your skin will hold onto some water after a shower. When the skin is holding onto water it’s more fragile and this increases the risk of skin lifting (looks like a burn) during your service.
We recommend having a shower no sooner than 2 hours before your wax.
Also if you love taking a hot showers your body may still be holding onto some of that heat and we sometimes find that this will make you extra heat sensitive to the wax, which will make your service a little more uncomfortable!
Does this information surprise you?

With no reopening date in sight we know many of you may be using at home waxing kits
We’ve seen many mishaps happen from these kits so here’s what to do if things go wrong:
🙁 You’ve wax residue left on your skin but have no more wax remover in your kit
🙂 Any oil will do in a pinch, try olive or baby oil!
💙💙💙💙💙
🙁 You’ve removed the strip but wax is still stuck to your skin
🙂 Your wax is too cold. Apply more wax over the top and remove quickly or remove wax with oil
💙💙💙💙💙
🙁 The hair just won’t come out
🙂 Make sure you’ve applied the wax in the right direction for e.g. hair on the lower legs often grows sideways on the calf’s and not straight down like you might think. Apply the wax in the direction of growth and remove against.
💙💙💙💙💙
🙁 You’ve burnt yourself
😐 You’ll know straight away if it feels too hot but sometimes the wax will feel fine but you look like you’re burnt the next day. This is actually skin lifting and can be caused by wax that’s too cold, certain medications that thin the skin or poor technique. Apply bepanthen sparingly and often and leave to heal. It should be gone in a few days

What a gorgeous result from a Lashus Lift! 😍
Many people think they have really short lashes but actually they are just straight, which makes them harder to see 😀
A lash lift gives them a curl right at the root of the lashes so you can see all your length.
This service includes a complimentary tint to really make the most out of your natural lashes
Results last 6/8 weeks!

FAQ: Do you use hot wax?
Yes, we use hot wax (sometimes know as non strip or peel-able wax) for all sensitive areas of the body such as face, underarms and intimate waxing.
We’ve used ALL different brands of waxing throughout the years from Lycon, Waxperts & Perron Rigot but have finally settled on wax:one!
wax:one is a new brand that only came to market in the last few years.
Here’s some unique things about the brand that make us love it so much:
💙 Lowest melting point we’ve found meaning the wax shouldn’t ever feel too hot on your skin
💙Combined pre & post wax oil means skin is soothed & calm throughout the entire treatment
💙 Applied thinly, even on stubborn coarse hair which means less skin tugging and a much more comfortable wax
💙 Sets up very quickly, this allows us to apply lots of little “bite sized” patches as opposed to larger patches. Waxing this way is so much easier, most clients chat to us for the whole treatment with no need to brace themselves
