Waxing is a form of hair removal that removes the entire hair from the hair follicle. Warm wax is applied to the skin and adheres to the hair. When removed, the hair is pulled from the root. Waxing is equally effective with light and dark hair with strength and speed of growth more important. It means you can go without tights or slip into a sleeveless top or a swimsuit without having to think about whether or not your hair free.

Our staff is highly-trained in providing quick, thorough and pain-free waxes, regardless of where they occur. Whether you’re looking to remove pubic hair, create the perfect eyebrows, have silky smooth arms and legs or just want to remove your back and abdomen hair, then with Prity you’re certain of an effective treatment.

You can always step up to laser or IPL to accelerate hair reduction but do remember that you shouldn’t wax in between these treatments as they act on the hair root which in waxing is pulled out. Shaving and depilation are suitable as the hair removal is only superficial – that’s why with these techniques’ hair reappears faster to come through.

Everyone’s pain tolerance is different, but you can expect a short, stinging sensation after the strip is pulled. If you are worried about being sensitive, taking an ibuprofen or aspirin about 30 minutes before your appointment should minimise your discomfort. Continuous waxing causes finer and less hair therefore waxing becomes less painful.

If waxing is done consistently, hair grows back slower, finer, and sparser. Shaving cuts, the hair off at the skin and the quantity and thickness of the hair stays the same. Shaving can also increase skin sensitivity and create a higher probability for ingrown hairs. Electrolysis and Laser hair removal doesn’t work for everyone and can be unpredictable and cost prohibitive.

At Prity’s we use 2 different types of wax. For the face and more sensitive areas of the body, we use a hard wax that shrink wraps and hardens around the hair and lifts from the skin creating a less painful removal. We use a more traditional soft wax for larger body areas such as legs, arms, chest, and back and it is removed by using a cloth strip. To complete the treatment, we apply our specialist Ayurvedic Rose Skin Soothing Oil, which leaves the skin soft, smooth and glowing.

If you’ve allowed your hair to grow out to the proper length prior to waxing, you can expect to be hair-free for a minimum of 1-2 weeks following your appointment.

Our charges are determined per service, not by amount of hair.

Bikini – hair will be removed that extends outside of the panty line or crease of thigh. Brazilian Bikini – a thin strip of hair will be left down the middle of the bikini area.

Hollywood Bikini – all hair removed including backside (some prefer leaving a small patch in front).

We recommend a patch test before your treatment to check your suitability.

Bleeding and bruising: There is always a small risk that some pieces of skin may tear during the removal of wax.  Subcutaneous bleeding (bleeding under the skin- bruises) is also possible for sensitive skin.

Redness and swelling:  This is the most common side effect to waxing.  The temperature of the wax combined with removing hair can take a toll.  This is normally very short lived and can be minimised with the application of a cold compress or ice after your treatment.  

Infections: This is a risk for those with conditions (especially of the skin) that normally leave them susceptible to infections.  Diabetic clients should be cautious or avoid waxing for this reason.

Ingrown hairs: This is a side effect of all forms of hair removal.  It is usually made better through waxing.  Clients with more sensitive skin are more susceptible to this.  

Pimples and dry skin: Waxing not only removes hair, but it can also remove the portions of the top layer of skin.  It is a great exfoliant, but it can also strip the skin of it’s important oils and leave it dry.  Overly dry skin can lead to increased oil production, which clogs pores and leads to breakouts or skin peeling.  

Your wax result will last longer if you don’t shave before. If you shave then all the hairs grow back at a different rate so then when you wax, even if it’s long enough, it won’t get every single hair. On stubborn hair using wax repeatedly not advisable. Tweezing or threading price will be extra than waxing price!
