What is Back Waxing?

Back variation between 30-1hr depending on client

Description

Although not exclusive, back waxing is commonly used by Men looking to remove excess body hair. This is a non permanent hair removal method that removes hair from the root using a soft wax. We apply a thin layer of wax onto the skin. Then a cloth strip is pressed onto the skin then swiftly removed pulling the hair from the roots.

 

Treatment areas

We offer a wide range of treatments including combinations treatments.

• Shoulders
• Lower back
• Full back

 

How to prepare?

• Make sure your hair is long enough to wax, ¼ inch (roughly 2-3 weeks of growth)
• Lightly exfoliate your skin a few days before your appointment
• Wear loose and comfortable clothing
• If taking medication such as Accutane, Differn or Retin A you should avoid waxing as this can damage the skin

 

What are the benefits?

Waxing is a preferred choice of hair removal as it tends to last longer than shaving or hair removal creams.

Some other benefits of waxing include:

• Smooth and even skin
• No cuts or bruises
• Slower hair growth
• Removing unwanted hair

 

How often?

Waxing varies for individuals but usually every 4-6 weeks to allow for enough hair to be waxed. After waxing a long time this time will extend and you will not need to wax as often.
