With so many therapists using different waxing systems, and application methods including so many different brands of wax available, I thought it would be helpful for clients to specify the type and methods I apply for my treatments. At the initial appointment you will complete a confidential medical form which will indicate any allergies or skin sensitivity issues and will determine the best wax to use for your treatment.
Brand – Perron Rigot wax
Considered one of the best waxes on the market.
With over thirty years of innovation in the industry and constantly developing new techniques and formulas to meet the evolving needs of the many therapists who use this product range.
With waxes to suit all client requirements offering the finest quality in depilatory care.
I use the following waxes for all my treatments:
• Cristal Ocean – Hypoallergenic Strip Wax
• Cristal Ice – Hypoallergenic Strip Roller Wax
• Euroblonde – Non Strip Wax
• Cirepil Pure – Hypoallergenic Non Strip Wax
•
As a pre and post waxing for the cleansing and moisturising I also use the Perron Rigot brand, and I use the following products, also from the hypoallergenic range:
• Eau de Cristal Lotion – Pre and Post Depilatory lotion
• Pearlescent oil – Pre and Post Depilatory Oil
To refresh and calm the skin after the waxing I use tea tree and natural aloe Vera based products.

5. Neck hair or some chest areas is removed with non strip waxes as this is a sensitive area.

Intimate & Sensitive areas –
These areas includes: underarms, neck, throat, ears, nose, brows, penis, scrotum, bikini line, crack, pubic line.
These areas are not suitable for strip waxing methods, as the skin is more sensitive and the non strip method offers a better and less painful waxing procedure.

Free Aftercare/ Take Home Products
All clients will receive a free aftercare pack following all their treatments. New clients (virgin waxers) often have no experience of knowledge of the best way to maintain their new waxed body...
My pack includes a written aftercare list which gives all the guidelines including good practice advice.
A small pot or tube of a suitable moisturiser is also provided for use on the area that has been treated. A disposable exfoliating mitt is provided; these normally last a few weeks in the shower, as a starter until clients can purchase a more substantial exfoliating cloth or mitts.
I retail a range of Japanese wash cloth, after waxing creams and gels and some products designed specifically for ingrown hair treatment.
