FAQ's

Soul Of Wax policy is very simple...

Hair length - How long should it be? Waxers & shavers

Your hair should be NO SHORTER than a grain of rice.

Regular Waxers – If you wax on a regular basis, you should have at least 4 weeks hair growth from your last wax appointment.

Shavers/Razor Users – If you shave and don’t wax regularly, please allow at least 3 weeks hair growth from your last shave.

It’s hard sometimes to bite the bullet and let it grow. We want to give you the best results, so following these steps will ensure that you leave the studio happy!

How long will the results last?

Everyone is different. In most cases, you will see minimal re-growth during the first 3 weeks, with a noticeable increase after that.

Regular waxing – Continued waxing encourages slower, sparser regrowth but please remember it’s not a permanent solution.

Shavers/Razor Users – Regular shavers will normally see the benefit after two or three waxes due to the hair being much more coarse and thicker. After that you’ll be as smooth as a baby’s bum.

How often should I be waxed?

If you’re obsessed like us about maintaining that clean & smooth feeling, we recommend that you come in every 4 weeks. As mentioned above. It depends on your waxing history, the area that you want waxing and your normal hair growth etc. We realise that everyone is different and regrowth will vary.

Re-growth is certainly reduced with regular waxing and you will find that over time you will be able to leave longer periods of time between your appointments.

ALL WE ASK… Is that you persevere and believe in the results, stay away from the razor and don’t be tempted to pick up those tweezers either! Remember good things come to those who wait.

Why waxing? It's all about you

It’s all down to personal preference. We’re not here to judge anyone, you will all have your own reasons for waxing. We have clients that were wax virgins until their mid-thirties, even forties… And all of them wonder why they waited so long but have never looked back, and ditched my razors for good!

Sunbathing

Don’t have your waxing carried out if you’ve just been sunbathing or you’ve just had a sun-bed session, as your skin will be much too sensitive. Ensure you leave a few days between sun exposure and having your waxing treatment carried out, as your skin will be more likely to lift and will take much longer to heal.

Being honest

Make sure you’re 100% honest with us when you complete your pre-waxing consultation. The questions asked are essential to ensure we wax you safely and give you the best outcome. If we identify some issues that could affect the waxing treatment or how your skin may react then it allows us to arrange a patch test and to use the best suitable wax and products for your skin, or to discuss/review your best treatment options. Please disclose all relevant information during your consultation.

Pre-planning

Planning is key to getting the best from your appointment. Make sure that you wear suitable clothing, for example you don’t want to wear tight skinny jeans after having your legs waxed, as this will cause too much friction and discomfort on freshly waxed skin. Try to avoid wearing too many layers of clothing so that you can keep your skin cool and avoid sweating.

When not to be waxed

Almost everyone can be waxed but for those who fall into the below, I will need a letter from your GP before starting any treatment.
