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 a lot 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.

Every three to four weeks. Waxing follows the hair’s growth cycle, so coming back on a regular rhythm gives a better result than leaving it for months — the regrowth comes through finer, and each appointment gets quicker and more comfortable. Try not to shave in between: it puts the hair back out of sync and you start again from scratch.

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.
