Professional Waxing

Waxing is a very suitable option for removing hair from large hairy body areas like the legs, arms and back and even for facial hair like hair on upper lips. It is a highly recommended temporary way to get rid of body hair even for men. If you feel you would not be able to do a good job by waxing your body hair yourself at home, or you would like to lie back and relax while you get the job done, we suggest that you try a professional beauty salon for waxing. Professional waxing is also a good idea for first-timers with waxing.

How is Professional Waxing Done?

Professional waxing is done by a qualified aesthetician at a beauty salon. You should always get it done at a beauty salon that has high standards of quality and hygiene, and well-qualified and experienced professionals for carrying out the waxing.A qualified aesthetician first dabs the area with talcum powder, then, applies the hot wax with the help of a wooden applicator on the target area, firmly presses a muslin strip over it and, after a few seconds, rips it off with a quick movement. The hairs come off sticking to the strip, and a soothing lotion is applied after cleaning the area.
