Wax Hair Removal

Whether we like to admit it or not – ALL of us have unwanted hair… Hair removal by its very nature is a personal treatment – and the types of treatments available are far and wide… Wax hair removal can sometimes have a bad press and is easily associated with pain and anguish. This however, is simply not the case!

LHB have helped clients control and tame their unruly follicles for many years – and would like to impart these years of ‘hands on’ experience to eradicate the painful myths around this super effective hair removal option…!

Wax Hair Removal – Facts not Fiction…

Double Whammy

Waxing provides hair removal AND exfoliation…  it leaves skin soft, smooth and rejuvenated due to it removing dead cells from the surface of your skin.

Smooth & silky

Waxing removes hairs from the root, meaning that hair can take anywhere from 3-8 weeks to reappear.

Damage Limitation

Unlike hair-removal creams or shaving, waxing won’t cause cuts, pigmentation, or badly smelling skin. There are no harsh chemicals used for wax hair reoval, so skin does not suffer any damaging effect.

So Fine

Hair that grows after waxing is finer and softer, unlike rough / hard regrowth following shaving. Also, waxing won’t cause stubble that you always see one day after shaving!

No Pain No Gain

Really does not apply – professional waxing is more tingles than tears…
