(photo from Google images)After a quick health questionnaire on arrival, I was taken downstairs to the treatment room. To start with my legs were wiped clean and sprinkled with talc powder. The hot wax was then directly applied from a roller tube and a cloth strip used to remove the wax and hair.
I've never had a professional wax before so I was a little apprehensive, but luckily my therapist Nicola was friendly and a very good waxer. The wax, although very warm, wasn't at all hot or uncomfortable, and she removed the strip quickly so I didn't find it painful. It felt very similar to pulling off a large plaster.
At the end of the session, I was given a little information card with some aftercare tips and advice. Because she was very quick, I was in and out of the salon in 15minsThe downside of waxing is that it won't remove hairs below a certain length, and because I'm a regular shaver, I had some hairs that were too short to be waxed, so my legs weren't 100% smooth.
However fuzziness aside, I was very impressed and with results expected to last 2-4 weeks I am definitely a new waxing convert. In fact I'm getting the other half of my legs waxed on Wednesday :)
Are you a regular waxer? How are you keeping your leg hair free this summer?
I love going to get my legs waxed. It makes you feel so clean for a month afterwards. and its always a pampering experience!!

i love the feel of waxed legs though i find i cant wait between waxes - unless its winter so i much prefer epilating - bit more painful but less time n ud ont need to wait for hairs to grow too long, and i still shave wen i cnt wait between epilating - soooo basically i just dont like the wait :P
ReplyDeleteAnya- I know what you mean, its nice not to worry about hair removal for a few weeks x
ReplyDeleteAmina- Haha same, I had to wear leggings and jeans during one of the hottest weeks this summer! Epilating sounds like a good solution, really need to give that a go x
i use to get my legs waxed every 6 weeks, and loved it, but now ive been getting ipl on my legs.
ReplyDeletei used to get my legs waxed all the time, my hairs would grow super quick...but like Harpreet...i've not had them lasered x
ReplyDeleteHarpreet- How are you getting on with IPL? x

ReplyDeleteI love the IPL, ive had it done on my face, arms and half legs. Im tanned but my body hair is black :-( i hate it, but IPL has really helped, and ive noticed some places with no regrowth at all. its a slow process but I really do recommend it!
ReplyDeleteI just had my arms waxed. It took at least 25 minutes but I'm happy with the results! Following!
ReplyDeleteHarpreet- That's really good, I've just done my second session so hopefully I'll get results that are just as good x
ReplyDeleteCafé Bellini- That's good, thanks for the follow x
