Absolutely flawless experience with Esmeralda. I am baby smooth, she even did magic getting deep ingrowns to pop out relatively painlessly and extract them (very satisfying to watch).

She's also a joy to talk to, I felt like I was catching up with a friend! It was my first time at Lux Wax and genuinely excited to see her again as I will definitely return.

Wonderful experience, probably the best waxing experience I’ve had. Oxana was very professional, thorough and talked me through every step of the treatment. The atmosphere is calming and I felt completely at ease. I will be back!!

I used to come to LuxWax a few years ago before I moved out of the area and always had a positive experience, the staff always welcoming and providing an excellent service.
After a negative experience at another place, I decided I would travel a bit further to come to LuxWax this time as I knew I could trust them and I wasn’t wrong! Great experience, Simona was so lovely, made me feel really comfortable and demonstrated great expertise. I would always recommend LuxWax and Simona! Thank you so much!!

Excellent service by Simona. I never like to get waxed but she made it all feel super easy and simple and fast! And she was perfectly careful the whole time and made sure every hair was gone. My first time here but I will definitely be back. Thank you.

Booked via Google Maps for Heath Street, but appointment was actually at another location not listed in their system. Had to take a £15, 25-minute Uber after arriving on time. Simona called saying she would leave in 5 minutes despite the mix-up.

When I arrived, she said my hair was too short (just under 1 cm) but rushed through the wax anyway. Then she tried to charge extra for Lycon wax, even though I’d already paid £48 (more than the listed £43 full leg with Lycon).

Only after calling Gail was the charge waived and a credit added. Overall: unclear booking system, and stressful service. Wouldn’t return unless they fix these issues. Given the great reviews of Gail at the Heath street location, I would give this salon one more try and amend the review.

I’ve just had my second visit, and I can confidently say I won’t be going anywhere else. Gail is amazing, professional, friendly, and she makes the whole experience so comfortable and easy. Her attention to detail and gentle approach really set her apart. The space is very clean. If you’re looking for someone you can trust for waxing, I highly recommend LuxWax!

Where do I even begin? Gail is an absolute gem! From my very first appointment, she made me feel completely at ease. She has a calming presence that makes what could be an uncomfortable experience feel like a total treat.
Every time I see her, it's consistent excellence — gentle, thorough, and always leaving me with a smooth, flawless result. I genuinely look forward to my waxing sessions now (never thought I’d say that!), and that’s all thanks to her.

Her space is always spotless, beautifully maintained, and smells amazing. Hygiene is clearly a top priority — no double-dipping, everything is sanitized and disposed of properly. It’s the kind of professionalism and care that’s hard to find.

I wouldn’t dream of going anywhere else. Gail is not just skilled at what she does — she’s a true diamond, and it’s always a pleasure being in her care.

The best hair removal I have ever had. Gail is not only an expert at what she does (waxing and laser for me) but she is sensitive and a pleasure to talk to. She makes you feel completely comfortable. I look forward to our regular appointments (which you can’t often say about waxing and laser sessions! 🤣)

I had a great experience from the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and at ease. The space is clean and relaxing—exactly what you want for a waxing appointment. My aesthetician Gail was incredibly professional, gentle, and detail-oriented. She made me feel comfortable throughout the whole process with flawless results.

I’ve previously been to other wax studios however Lux Wax is truly a step above the rest. The products they use are high quality, and my skin felt smooth and irritation-free afterwards. You can tell they really care about hygiene, comfort, and making every client feel confident.

If you’re looking for a top-tier waxing experience, this is the place. I’m officially a loyal customer!

All the reviews of how talented Gail is are 100% true. I’m very sensitive to waxing and she handled the appointment wonderfully. I’m very grateful to have found her and will definitely be using her services again!

I went to LuxWax for a wax and it couldn’t have been a better experience. Esmeralda was so sweet and welcoming, also made sure I was super comfortable the whole time. I was quite nervous prior in case I wouldn’t be able to handle the pain but honestly it was super quick and almost completely pain free! I found this place on Google and due to the amazing reviews I decided to check it out and I’m so happy I did because there’s nooo way I’m going anywhere else now. Best experience ever! They deserve all the praise honestly.

As a male client, I was initially a bit apprehensive about starting laser hair removal, but Gail made the entire process feel completely comfortable and straightforward. She’s professional, patient, and extremely thorough, taking real care to ensure everything is done properly.

What really impressed me is the honesty and integrity of the service — no pressure to add extra treatments, and Gail even treated small additional areas at no extra cost, just to make sure the results were even and effective.

The results have been outstanding. I genuinely couldn’t be happier and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the clinic to anyone considering laser hair removal. You’ll be in excellent hands.

After researching so many places to get my first wax done. I chose LuxWax because of the amazing 5 star reviews. I was worried about the pain initially as I decided to go for a Hollywood and armpit wax for my first wax. Esmerlada was so lovely, made me feel so comfortable and was very knowledgeable. My skin feels so smooth and my body confidence has come back. I will definitely be coming back and starting my waxing journey. Thank you!

    Electrolysis in Hampstead: Book A Consultation

    If you are considering permanent hair removal, electrolysis at our Hampstead salon might be the perfect solution. Our electrolysis specialists are available to offer expert advice on whether electrolysis is the right choice for you. We understand everyone is different, which is why we create bespoke treatment plans for each client at our salon in Hampstead.

    During your consultation at our Hampstead salon, you will be able to speak to our electrolysis experts and discuss any concerns you may have while we assess the suitability of this treatment for you. We will consider your skin type, hair type, skin sensitivity, and desired results.

    Take the first step towards achieving smooth, hair-free skin by booking a consultation today.

    Before Your Electrolysis Appointment at Our Hampstead Salon

    To maximise the results of your electrolysis session, we recommend a few simple preparation steps. Before your session, it’s best to avoid sunbathing and the use of tanning equipment or self-tanning creams.

    For the weeks leading up to your appointment, it’s also important to avoid any hair removal methods that pluck, wax, or use depilatory creams on the intended treatment area. This ensures that hair follicles are in the right stage of growth for the electrolysis to be most effective.

    Our expert team at our Hampstead salon is always on hand to guide you with comprehensive advice and to address any queries during your initial consultation to make sure you are thoroughly ready for the treatment.

    During Your Electrolysis Appointment at LuxWax Hampstead

    Upon your visit to our Hampstead salon, our team will ensure your experience with us is smooth, comfortable, and effective. The time required for the session will depend on the treatment area’s size and hair density, but generally, appointments will last from 15 minutes to a full hour.

    During your electrolysis treatment, a fine probe delivers a gentle electrical current to the hair follicles, specifically targeting the growth cells, and permanently reducing hair growth. Our treatment uses the latest, sophisticated techniques to maintain precision and comfort. You can always be confident that you will be in expert hands for the duration of your electrolysis session.

    After Your Electrolysis Appointment

    Proper aftercare is critical to maximise the benefits of your electrolysis treatment. Post treatment, it’s common to notice some redness or a bit of swelling at the treated site; however, these symptoms normally reduce within several hours.

    To ensure optimal protection for your skin after the session, refrain from sunbathing, taking hot showers, visiting saunas, and using swimming pools for at least one day. Our specialists at LuxWax Hampstead will offer tailored aftercare advice, which may include applying soothing lotions or gels and cleansing the area with care. Adhering to these recommendations will aid in maximising treatment effectiveness and minimising any side effects.

    The Benefits of Electrolysis Hair Removal in Hampstead

    When it comes to choosing a hair removal method that truly lasts, electrolysis is a standout option. At our Hampstead salon, it’s valued not only for its proven permanence but also for the precision and versatility it offers over other techniques.

    Here’s why our clients in Hampstead love electrolysis:

    Permanent Results

    Electrolysis remains the only FDA-approved technique for permanent hair removal. Unlike short-term fixes such as shaving, it works by completely disabling the hair follicle—ensuring that once a hair is treated, it’s gone for good.

    Effective for All Hair Colours & Skin Tones

    One of the key advantages of electrolysis is that it doesn’t depend on hair pigment to be effective. Unlike laser treatments, it works equally well on all hair colours—including blonde, grey, and red—and is safe for every skin tone, making it a truly inclusive option.

    Precise & Targeted Treatment

    At our Hampstead salon, electrolysis offers unparalleled precision, targeting individual hairs with exceptional control. It’s particularly effective for treating finer, more sensitive areas—such as the face, bikini line, or neck—where accuracy is essential for achieving natural-looking results.

    Suitable for Men & Women

    Our skilled electrolysis team in Hampstead can expertly shape and refine your hair growth to suit your preferences. Whether it’s defining the eyebrows, clearing facial fuzz, or treating delicate spots like the underarms or bikini line, electrolysis offers the precision needed to handle it all—especially in areas where other methods may fall short.

    No More Ingrown Hairs

    Electrolysis is a highly adaptable treatment suitable for all genders. Whether it’s removing thick facial hair, refining the neckline, or achieving smooth skin elsewhere, our Hampstead salon delivers personalised treatments designed to meet the needs of both men and women with lasting results.

    No More Ingrown Hairs

    By targeting the root and permanently preventing regrowth, electrolysis helps eliminate the risk of ingrown hairs. Clients at our Hampstead salon often choose it to avoid the irritation, bumps, and inflammation that commonly come with shaving or other temporary methods.

    Electrolysis Treatment Areas in Hampstead

    At Lux Wax, we specialise in professional electrolysis treatments for both men and women. Book a consultation to find out more about our electrolysis treatments at our Hampstead salon. Some of our most common treatment areas are listed below.

    Face & Neck

    Electrolysis offers a precise and lasting solution for removing unwanted facial hair. Its accuracy makes it ideal for treating delicate areas such as the upper lip, chin, neck, and cheeks, one follicle at a time.

    In Hampstead, we also see many male clients using electrolysis to shape their beard lines or sculpt the neckline—minimising irritation from shaving and helping to maintain a clean, defined look with ease.

    Upper Body

    Electrolysis is a reliable choice for permanent hair removal on the chest, breast, and stomach areas. These sensitive regions tend to respond well to treatment, and our Hampstead team can apply a numbing gel to ensure maximum comfort if needed.

    For those seeking a more lasting solution than shaving, electrolysis helps avoid common issues like razor bumps and ingrown hairs—leaving the upper body smooth, calm, and hair-free over time.

    Bikini Line

    Electrolysis is an excellent choice for achieving lasting smoothness in the bikini area, without the irritation or constant maintenance that comes with shaving or waxing.

    At our Hampstead salon, every treatment is customised to suit your desired shape and finish, removing only the hair you want gone, with precision and care for soft, natural-looking results.

    Hands & Feet (Fingers & Toes)

    For delicate areas where laser may not be as effective, electrolysis offers a precise and permanent fix—perfect for removing those stubborn hairs on the fingers or toes.

    Treatments at our Hampstead location are quick and targeted, with smaller areas often completed in under 15 minutes, making it an efficient choice for lasting, low-maintenance results.

    Legs

    If you’re looking to achieve smooth, hair-free legs without the constant upkeep of shaving, electrolysis provides a long-lasting solution. We usually recommend multiple sessions due to the larger surface area, the results are gradual, permanent, and well worth the commitment.

    Clients in Hampstead often choose electrolysis for legs to enjoy the freedom of smooth skin year-round with no stubble and no razor rash, just effortless confidence.

    Neckline & Hairline

    Electrolysis offers a stunning way to shape the hairline or tidy the neckline, removing stray hairs with pinpoint accuracy. It’s a low-maintenance solution that keeps the area looking neat without regular trimming or shaving.

    At our Hampstead salon, this treatment is popular with both men and women seeking subtle definition—whether it’s cleaning up the nape or softly sculpting the front hairline for a natural, polished finish.

    Electrolysis Vs Shaving

    Shaving may feel convenient in the moment, but it often results in frequent upkeep, irritated skin, and that rough regrowth that returns all too quickly. At our Hampstead salon, electrolysis offers a lasting alternative by permanently disabling the hair follicle.

    It’s a far more targeted approach than shaving, no patchy results, no razor rash, just consistently smooth skin without the daily hassle.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    is electrolysis permanent?

    Electrolysis is highly regarded for its effectiveness in permanent hair removal, being the sole method recognised by the FDA for safety, efficacy, and permanence. In contrast to laser hair removal, which was introduced in the year 2000 and whose long-term effects are still under observation, electrolysis boasts a well-established history of successful outcomes.

    does electrolysis hurt?

    The level of discomfort experienced during electrolysis can differ among individuals. While some may feel a sensation similar to stinging or pricking, the application of numbing creams is an option to help alleviate any discomfort.

    what areas can be treated with electrolysis?

    Electrolysis demonstrates versatility and efficacy across all body regions. Commonly treated areas encompass facial regions such as the upper lip, chin, cheeks, beard line, eyebrows, and the area between the brows, alongside regions like the breasts, underarms, and bikini area.

    how does electrolysis hair removal work?

    The process of electrolysis for hair removal involves the insertion of a small probe into individual hair follicles, administering a mild electrical current to eradicate the hair root, thereby inhibiting future hair growth.

    what is electrolysis hair removal?

    For more than 140 years, electrolysis has been utilised as a method for permanent hair removal. A skilled therapist inserts a minuscule probe into the hair follicle, applying a high-frequency alternating electrical current. This current heats the adjacent tissue, rendering the follicle permanently distorted and disabled.

    can electrolysis be performed on sensitive skin?

    Yes, electrolysis is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. Our electrolysis specialist will adjust the treatment settings to accommodate your skin’s sensitivity, ensuring a safe and efficient hair removal process.

    is electrolysis effective on hormonal hair growth?

    Hair growth impacted by hormonal changes, such as those that take place during pregnancy, menopause, or conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), can be successfully treated with electrolysis. However, multiple sessions may be required to achieve the best results, and maintenance sessions might be necessary if hormonal fluctuations continue.

    how many electrolysis treatments are needed?

    On average, 8 to 12 sessions are normally required. However, many factors directly influence the number of treatments needed, such as:

    • Electrolysis can only be applied to a hair if it is in the anagen (growing) phase
    • Hormones
    • Medication
    • Hair density and size of the area treated
    • Skin sensitivity

    Generally, treatments should be carried out in fortnightly intervals to ensure the visible hairs are in the anagen phase. As the treatments progress and the hair growth diminishes, treatment sessions will become shorter with longer gaps between sessions. Eventually, you will come back once a year for a “touch up” if any new hairs were to appear.

    how much does electrolysis hair removal cost?

    Check out our electrolysis price list to see how much we charge at Luxwax.

    does electrolysis work on all hair and skin types?

    Electrolysis is suitable for all hair and skin types. It can be used on any colour or thickness of hair and works effectively on various skin tones. It is considered a safe and permanent hair removal method for all individuals.

    can electrolysis be used for shaping eyebrows?

    Yes, electrolysis is an excellent method for shaping and defining eyebrows. It allows for the precise removal of unwanted hair, resulting in a well-defined and permanent eyebrow form.

    is electrolysis suitable for men?

    Absolutely, both men and women can benefit from electrolysis. To permanently remove hair or to treat problems like ingrown hairs, men frequently seek electrolysis for areas like the beard line, neck, chest, and back.

    It was my first visit to LuxWax and it exceeded all expectations. What a lovely salon. Extremely clean and a great vibe. Juliana was extremely professional and really friendly. Highly recommend for body waxing !

    Happy Customer

    Best wax I have ever had! Linzi was personable, professional, caring & welcoming. I had the ‘Full Monty’ with their own wax, which was painless and left my skin feeling soft & smooth. Linzi also gave me an aftercare package! Such a lovely and personal touch to a great experience. Couldn’t recommend Linzi and LuxWax more!

    Happy Customer

    I have also just started a laser hair removal programme for my bikini area and cannot recommend it enough! Really painless and so effective - I have seen results after just 2 sessions - I am so happy with the results and would highly recommend!

    Happy Customer

    They are professional, do a great job and are nice - a truly “often imitated but never equalled” great experience. I was looking to change from a salon in the West End I used to go to.

    Happy Customer

    The place was beautiful. Service was great, professionalism was a 10/10 I went for a wax. Every question I had was answered with detail. She made me feel so comfortable and gave me great aftercare advice. She was so professional and friendly I will definitely be booking again!
