Waxing - Price List
Waxing is a method of semi-permanent hair removal which removes the hairs from the roots. New hair will not grow back from the waxed area for 2 to 5 weeks, the more regularly you have the area waxed the slower the hair will grow back and over a period of time there will be a reduction of growth.
All the basic waxing treatments are offered by Footluz Bodyluz suitable for both men and women however some specialist waxing is offered for women only.
In preparation of your waxing session, exfoliate and moisturise for two days however on the day of your treatment do not use moisturisers, oils or similar products on the area to be treated. The hair should be approximately 0.75 – 1cm long so that the wax can adhere to the hair effectively. This is usually a 2 weeks post-shaving growth for most people.
Benefits of waxing:
- Waxing lasts much longer then shaving (4-6 weeks)
- Slows down hair growth rate
- Keeps skin looking smooth
- Hair becomes sparse over time
After your first waxing you may notice some hair growth after one week, it can take up to 4 treatments to reach a growth cycle that gives the best results. Hair should not be shaved inbetween treatments. A regular waxing appointment between 4 - 6 weeks is recommeded.
For a more permanent solution to unwanted hair growth have a look at Electrolysis.
The Treatment

The area to be treated will be cleansed with a specially formulated pre-cleanse lotion, talc is applied to prepare the skin and wax applied in thin layer and removed with using a paper strip. Once the area is thoroughly cleared a soothing tea tree lotion/oil is applied to cool and help the skin to recover from the waxing treatment.
