LOVE this place! I found this beautiful salon just by walking past in Hampstead — and I’m so glad I did! I used to travel all the way into Central London for my waxing appointments, which was so time-consuming. Having LuxWax on my doorstep is such a game changer.
Mel was my therapist and she was absolutely amazing — welcoming, professional, and incredibly skilled. The waxing was practically painless (which I didn’t think was possible!) and the results were incredible. I felt completely comfortable and looked after from start to finish.
What I also loved is that they took the time to tell me about permanent hair removal options. After struggling for years with constant waxing appointments, I’ve now decided to start laser hair removal and electrolysis instead — and I wouldn’t trust anyone else to do it.
Truly the best of the best. Hampstead is lucky to have LuxWax!

Absolutely obsessed with my waxing + laser hair removal experience!
I've tried a bunch of places before, but this one truly stands out. From the moment I walked in, the space felt clean, calming, and super professional. The staff made me feel comfortable right away (which is huge when you're about to get waxed
The waxing was quick, thorough, and way less painful than I expected — they clearly know what they're doing. As for the laser hair removal.. GAME CHANGER. The technician explained everything step-by-step, checked in on my comfort level, and made sure I felt totally at ease the whole time. After just a few sessions, I'm already seeing a huge reduction in hair growth, and my skin feels smoother than it ever has.
No irritation, no rushed appointments, no awkward vibes — just amazing results and great energy all around.

I recently started laser treatment at LuxWax, and from my first consultation with Gail, I felt very well looked after. She provided extra care, answered all my questions, and reassured me throughout. Mel has also been fantastic during my treatments and very flexible with appointments. Highly recommended!

I honestly cannot recommend LuxWax in Hampstead enough!

I previously had laser hair removal at another salon and saw little to no results, so I was quite sceptical about trying again. But everything completely changed once I started my treatments with Gail.

From the very first appointment, Gail made me feel comfortable and confident in the process. She is incredibly knowledgeable, highly skilled, and clearly very experienced. She took the time to explain everything properly and tailor the treatment to me.

The salon itself is absolutely beautiful – clean, welcoming, and professional. You can tell they invest in top-quality equipment, and it truly makes a difference. I am now almost hair free, and the results have exceeded my expectations.

If you’re considering laser hair removal in Hampstead, LuxWax is the place to go. Thank you, Gail – I’m so happy with my results!

I have been using Luxwax for years, initially just for waxing and over the last 18months for laser as well. I cannot rate them highly enough. I have seen various therapists over the time I have been going there and they have all been great. More recently I have been going to Gail and Oxana. I had Mel today for laser and waxing she was excellent as well. They all have such attention to detail, they are efficient but also take it at your pace and check in with you to make sure you’re ok throughout. Not to mention, the results from the laser and waxing have been great. No reactions and lasting results. It is a beautiful salon. Very clean. Fab facilities. Even though I’m not as local as I used to be I keep going back, I wouldn’t trust anywhere else now!

I had my waxing done by Karolina and honestly she is the best and fastest waxer I have ever been to. She made me feel completely comfortable from the moment I arrived, explained everything, and worked with such confidence and precision. My waxing was incredibly quick but still very thorough and almost painless compared to my previous experiences.
Karolina is clearly very experienced and professional, and you can tell she truly cares about her clients’ comfort and results. My skin felt smooth and perfect afterwards. I would highly recommend her to everyone — once you visit Karolina, you won’t want to go to anyone else. I’m so happy I found her, and I know anyone who reads this review will love coming to her too. Thank you, Karolina -will be back soon! 😉

Absolutely incredible experience with Esmeralda! she is truly a perfectionist making the whole process surprisingly comfortable. Beyond her amazing technique, she's warm, personable, and made me feel completely at ease, it honestly felt like chatting with a longtime friend. It was my first visit to Lux Wax, and thanks to her, I'll absolutely be coming back. I'm already looking forward to my next appointment!

The salon is gorgeous! Karolina is the best - so kind, patient and knowledgeable. She really made sure I was comfortable, took the time to listen to my preferences and recommended the best style/tint for my brows. I’ve had lots of waxings at different salons and this was by far the best experience to date thanks to Karolina. Thank you, Karolina!

I started my permanent hair removal journey with Luxwax 15 months ago. I was unsure whether laser or electrolysis was the right answer for me. I had an exploratory telephone consultation with Gail and was impressed with her level of knowledge, complete honesty and professional specialisation. Gail advised me on pursuing electrolysis as a permanent solution and I can honestly say that I have been very impressed with the results. I was really worried about scarring and other possible skin damage that is generally reported as the downside to electrolysis performed by inexperienced therapists. Thankfully, Gail is so skilled that none of this has been an issue. In addition, Gail is able to confidently and safely work on larger surface areas at a high pace therefore maximising appointment time. Electrolysis does require commitment and consistency - Gail was great at educating me upfront and making sure I understood the practicalities involved - but the results have been totally worth it for me. My only regret is not to have started much much earlier in life!

Such a beautiful space and Gail is a complete PRO (and lovely too!). I have been seeing her for electrolysis since the summer and my facial hair has massively reduced. I trust her completely and have never had any side effects.

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.

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!!

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.

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.

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!

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!

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!

Frequently Asked Questions

Find our list of frequently asked questions regarding our waxing services at our Hampstead clinic below. If you can’t find the answer you are looking for, please contact us to speak to one of our friendly team members.

What is waxing?

Waxing is a popular method for removing body hair. It involves applying warm wax to the skin, allowing it to adhere to the hair, and then swiftly removing the wax, along with the unwanted hair, from the root.

Why should I choose waxing over other hair removal methods?

Waxing is considered one of the most effective and long-lasting methods for removing body hair. Unlike shaving or using depilatory creams, which only remove hair from the surface, waxing removes hair from the root. This leads to a smoother and longer-lasting result.

How long will the results of waxing last?

The results of waxing typically last between 2 to 4 weeks, depending on your individual hair growth cycle. Since the hair is removed from the root, it takes longer to grow back compared to shaving, where hair regrowth is more noticeable within a few days.

What is the temperature of hot wax, and does it cause discomfort?

The hot wax is carefully heated to a range of 52-55 degrees Celsius, which is generally considered a comfortable temperature for most individuals. To further enhance your comfort during the waxing process, we apply an oil that acts as a protective barrier between the wax and your skin, reducing any potential discomfort. It’s important to note that the wax adheres to the hair rather than the skin, resulting in minimal pain.

What makes Luxwax so effective?

LuxWax’s effectiveness lies in our waxes’ unique formulae that allow it to envelop the hair and tighten around it as it dries. This exceptional feature enables the hair to be removed from the root without causing any breakage, resulting in smooth skin and an extended regrowth period.

What's the distinction between Hot Wax and Warm Wax?

What sets hot wax apart from warm wax is its ability to adhere solely to body hair rather than the skin, ensuring skin protection and a nearly painless removal experience. Its gentle nature makes it suitable for individuals with sensitive skin, minimising post-wax sensitivity.

On the other hand, warm wax, commonly referred to as strip wax, operates on a similar principle. It is typically employed for larger areas and effectively eliminates all types of hair, including fine strands.

How long does a waxing session take?

The duration of a waxing session depends on the specific treatment area. Here are the approximate time frames:

  • Face: For treatments such as the upper lip, it generally takes about 10 minutes. If you opt for a full face wax, it may take around 20 minutes.
  • Upper body: Treatment areas like underarms typically take up to 10 minutes. If you’re getting your full arms waxed, it may require approximately 25 minutes.
  • Lower body: Most lower body treatments take up to 30 minutes.
  • Full body: If you’re looking to get a wax for your entire body, you should allow up to 1 hour and 45 minutes for the session.
Booking a treatment with pre-existing conditions

Please inform our team if you have any of the following conditions:

  • Diabetes
  • Epilepsy
  • Haemophilia
  • Red and tender scar tissue
  • Sunburns
  • Recent use of Accutane within the last 6 months
  • Currently undergoing skin treatments for thinning skin or blood
  • Any other conditions you believe we should be aware of
Can I undergo a waxing treatment while pregnant?

It is typically considered safe to receive waxing services once you have entered your second trimester of pregnancy. Additionally, we provide specialised Lycon waxes designed specifically for expectant mothers who are in their seventh month of pregnancy or beyond.

Can I wax on my period?

Periods are not contraindications and therefore we can go ahead with your treatment as normal. Please wear a clean tampon.

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!
