Waxing in Lilydale — sensitive hard wax, every service

About 5 mm — roughly two weeks of growth. Any shorter and the wax has nothing to hold onto, which means going over the same area twice and a poorer result. If you are not sure, leave it a few more days rather than fewer.

Hard wax sets around the hair and is lifted off without a strip, so it grips the hair rather than the skin underneath. It is slower to work with, particularly over a large area like a back or a full leg, and it costs more — but it is markedly kinder on sensitive skin, and it is what is used here on every service rather than only the delicate ones.

No. Waxing here covers face, arms, legs, back, chest, stomach, shoulders and underarms. There is no bikini, Brazilian or intimate waxing of any kind, for women or men.

Yes — back, chest, shoulders, stomach, arms, legs and underarms. Men's hair is coarser and denser, so those services take longer and use more wax, and they are priced separately rather than charged as a surcharge on the women's price.

Lash and brow work runs in long sessions in the middle of the day. Waxing is quicker, so it has its own blocks at 10am and 6pm — which is also what keeps a ten-minute lip wax from taking up an afternoon that a two-hour appointment needs. Anything running over an hour books into a main session instead.

Every three to four weeks while you are getting into a rhythm. Waxing works on the hair's growth cycle, so consistency matters more than anything else — and it genuinely does get quicker and more comfortable the longer you stick with it. Shaving in between resets that, so it is worth not.

The first one is the worst one, and it is honestly not as bad as most people expect — hard wax is a good deal gentler than the strip wax most of us remember from a salon years ago. Pinkness afterwards is normal and usually settles within an hour or two.

Yes. Brows and lip is already on the menu as a pairing. For anything else, book the main treatment and mention the wax — if there is time in the session it can usually be added, and it is easier to answer once we know what you are booking.
