Comfortable & Personalised
We’ll let you in on a little secret: we’re all hairy sometimes. So relax, there is nothing to worry about!
Everyone’s hair removal journey is different. Our friendly therapists are aware of this, and they’re here to help you feel relaxed and at ease. We’ll customise your wax to suit your skin type, preferences and goals, whether you’re a regular waxer or it’s your first time.

We understand that waxing is a personal experience. That’s why we go above and beyond to protect your modesty. Our therapists are experienced professionals who deliver every treatment with respect, sensitivity and care.
Remember, we do this every day and have seen it all before.
Your Journey With Us
Before
Let your hair grow for at least 3 weeks after shaving or 4 weeks after your last wax, as these yield the best results. Shower before your visit and wear loose, clean cotton clothing for comfort.
During
The hot and warm wax we apply is made to only stick to your body hair, not to your skin. This helps protect the skin and makes hair removal virtually painless.
After
Avoid hot baths, swimming pools, perfumed lotions, deodorants and talcum powder for at least 24 hours post-treatment. Your skin may feel slightly sensitive, but this is completely normal and will settle quickly.
Why We Use Lycon Wax
As well as our standard wax, we also offer Lycon, our premium wax option. Lycon is the solution you’ve been searching for if you desire smoother skin for longer. Leading the way in waxing technology, Lycon has developed some of the most well-known waxing systems worldwide.
For a clean, painless removal, Lycon shrink-wraps all hair, even the shortest and most stubborn ones, using low-temperature hot wax.
This gentle wax is suitable for all skin types, even sensitive skin. Our clients from Muswell Hill love it not only for the silky results, but also for the added comfort it provides during intimate waxing treatments. Our experts carefully deliver a fully personalised waxing treatment that satisfies your every need.
Areas We Wax
Here are some of the most popular areas that we wax.
Bikini Waxing
Discover our no-nonsense bikini waxing treatments, which remove hair around the bikini line, just outside the edges of underwear or swimwear. They’re tidy, quick and confidence-boosting. Choose our “Bare Minimum” for a neat clean-up or go for the “Inbetweeny” if you’d like a little more taken off.
Hollywood Wax
The “Full Monty” Hollywood wax removes all hair from the front and back. It’s the smoothest finish possible, and a favourite for those who want to feel ultra-fresh and ready for anything.
Perfect for when you want to feel fresh and confident in any outfit – or nothing at all! Our wax specialists ensure every part of your wax is discreet and enjoyable.
Brazilian Wax
Ready to feel self-confident and smooth with a style of your choice? Our “Shape Tape” Brazilian wax is your go-to!
In contrast to a typical bikini wax, the Brazilian takes care of the front, back, and everything in between, giving you a smooth, perfect finish with intimate hair styling to suit you. No more shaving, no more stubble, just a sleek, long-lasting alternative to shaving.
Leg Waxing
Discover irresistible smoothness with our professional leg waxing treatments.
Our “Full Leg” waxing provides long-lasting hair removal, removing hair from the root and keeping your legs hair-free for weeks. We also offer a “Lower Leg” waxing option, concentrating only on hair growth below the knee, making it the perfect choice if you’re looking to show off smooth skin in dresses, skirts, or shorts.
Underarm Waxing
Say farewell to daily shaving and welcome smooth, flawless underarms with our bespoke underarm waxing.
A quick and simple treatment that leaves your skin smooth and stubble-free for weeks. Hair is removed from the root, meaning softer regrowth and fewer ingrown hairs. Waxing the underarms is essential for those who want to stop using razors.
Arm Waxing
Are you tired of shaving your arms all the time? For touchable, silky arms that last for weeks, select one of our “Forearms” or “Full Arms” waxing packages.
For special occasions, sleeveless styles, or simply to feel more comfortable in your skin, arm waxing is ideal.
Why Waxing is Worth it
Choosing waxing near Muswell Hill over shaving provides a range of long-term benefits:
Longer-Lasting Smoothness
Hair is removed from the root, so regrowth is delayed, meaning smoother skin that lasts for weeks, not just days.
Finer & Softer Regrowth
Regular waxing near Muswell Hill may result in the regrowth of finer, sparser hair. In contrast to the gritty stubble left by shaving, new hair is typically softer and less noticeable since waxing weakens the hair follicle.
Exfoliates the Skin
Waxing removes dead skin cells along with the hair, revealing radiant skin underneath. This natural exfoliation helps avoid clogged pores and promotes an even skin tone.
No More Razor Burn or Itching
Shaving can cause irritation, razor bumps, and itchiness as the hair grows back. By pulling hair from the root, waxing reduces skin irritation and minimises ingrown hairs.
Less Maintenance, More Convenience
Waxing near Muswell Hill reduces the need for touch-ups and daily hair removal time, with results lasting up to four weeks. Ideal for anyone seeking a low-maintenance beauty routine with maximum results.
Suitable for All Skin Types
Most skin types can benefit from the gentle and efficient hair removal technique of waxing. LuxWax uses high-quality wax formulas developed to avoid irritation and ensure the greatest results.
Waxing vs Shaving
Shaving cuts hair at the surface, meaning fast regrowth and rough stubble. Waxing removes hair from the root, giving you smoother skin that lasts longer, and looks better too. It’s the smarter, more convenient option for both men and women in Muswell Hill looking for hair removal that actually works.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find our list of frequently asked questions regarding our waxing services near Muswell Hill 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 the removal of hair from the root using warm or hot wax. It’s fast, effective, and leaves skin smoother than shaving. The wax sticks to the hair, and it’s swiftly removed along with the unwanted hair from the root.
Why should I choose waxing over other hair removal methods?
Waxing is regarded as one of the most long-lasting and efficient ways to get rid of body hair. Waxing eliminates hair from the root, as opposed to shaving or applying depilatory creams, which only remove hair from the surface.
If you’re looking for a more permanent alternative to waxing, we also offer Laser Hair Removal and Electrolysis for permanent hair removal.
How long will the results of waxing last?
Depending on your individual hair growth cycle, the effects of waxing usually last two to four weeks.
What is the temperature of hot wax, and does it cause discomfort?
Lycon hot wax is warmed to a safe temperature (52–55°C) and sticks to hair, not the skin. For further 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 remember wax sticks to the hair rather than the skin, making the treatment virtually painless.
What makes Luxwax so effective?
The efficacy of LuxWax is attributed to the special formulas of our waxes, which enable them to wrap hair and tighten around it as it dries. Smooth skin and a longer regrowth period are the results of this remarkable characteristic, which allows the hair to be pulled from the root without breaking.
What's the distinction between Hot Wax and Warm Wax?
Hot wax (used in intimate areas) grips only the hair, making it gentler. Warm wax (strip wax) is better for larger areas and removes even fine hairs effectively.
How long does a waxing session take?
The length of a waxing session depends on the specific treatment area. Here are the estimated time frames:
- Upper lip: ~10 mins
- Full face: ~20 mins
- Underarms: ~10 mins
- Lower body: ~30 mins
- Full body: up to 1 hr 45 mins

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 !
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!
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!
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.
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!
