What's Included

  • Personal consultation to understand your skin, hair growth and preferences.
  • Cleanse and pre-wax preparation to protect the skin.
  • Tailored hot or strip wax selection for comfort and efficacy.

Who It's For

Perfect if you want smooth underarms without daily shaving. Ideal for anyone who values a neat finish and a low-maintenance routine.

Suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin, as the wax is chosen to suit you. If the skin is broken, sunburnt or if you use retinoids on the area, please wait until the skin has settled.

Duration & Appointment Timing

Your underarm wax typically takes around 15 minutes. Please allow a little extra time for a brief consultation and unhurried aftercare.

For best results, ensure hair is around a grain of rice in length. If you are combining this with other waxing, timings will be planned so you are never rushed.

Aftercare & Maintenance

For the first 24 hours, avoid deodorant, hot showers, saunas, swimming, gym workouts and tight clothing. Keep the area clean and cool, and avoid touching the skin.

From 48 to 72 hours onward, gently exfoliate 2 to 3 times a week and moisturise regularly to help prevent ingrown hairs. Avoid shaving between appointments to encourage finer regrowth.

Book every 3 to 5 weeks depending on your growth cycle. Mild redness is normal and usually settles quickly; soothe with a cool compress or an unscented aloe gel if needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long will my underarm wax last?
Most clients enjoy smooth results for 2 to 4 weeks, depending on natural growth. With regular waxing, regrowth often becomes finer and softer, which can extend the feeling of smoothness.
Does underarm waxing hurt?
You may feel brief discomfort as the wax is removed, but it is quick and manageable. We use techniques and wax types designed to reduce pull on the skin and improve comfort.
How should I prepare for my appointment?
Let hair grow to about 0.5 to 1 cm, roughly a grain of rice. Arrive with clean, product-free underarms, and avoid heavy exfoliation or sun exposure on the day. If you have recently shaved, wait 2 to 3 weeks.
Is underarm waxing suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, we select the most suitable wax and work carefully to minimise irritation. Temporary redness is normal and usually settles quickly. If you have eczema, broken skin or are using retinoids on the area, please seek advice first.
Can I use deodorant or exercise after waxing?
Wait 24 hours before applying deodorant or antiperspirant. Avoid the gym, hot showers, swimming and saunas during this time to keep the skin calm. Choose loose clothing while the area settles.
