Hot waxing uses resins and oils that are heated to form a runny consistency. This is applied evenly to the skin in the direction of hair growth. Fabric or paper strips are used to remove the wax and the hairs in the opposite direction.
This type of hair removal is suitable for the face on eyebrows, cheeks, upper lip, and chin (due to the coarseness of male hair beards cannot be waxed), wax can also be used on underarms, arms, chest, back, bikini and legs.
Benefits of waxing include no shadowing with hair regrowth such as with shaving; the root and the follicle are removed giving a longer hair free period. When hair reappears it is tapered and feels softer.
With frosted windows it is possible to have a private waxing treatment in the Brighton treatment room without needing to shut out any natural light.
