Your Journey With Us
Before
For the best results, hair should be a minimum of 3 weeks from shaving and/or 4 weeks from your last wax. Wash or shower if you are planning to wax your upper or lower body, and wear comfortable, clean cotton clothing.
During
The hot and warm wax we use is designed to stick only to your body hair, not to your skin, which helps to protect the skin and make the hair removal virtually painless.
After
Your skin will be temporarily sensitive after waxing. Avoid baths, showers, swimming pools, and do not use talcum powder, perfumed lotions or deodorants 24 hours after your wax.
A Little More About Lycon Waxing
If you want smoother skin for longer, Lycon is the answer you’ve been looking for. Lycon is an industry leader when it comes to waxing technologies, creating some of the most renowned waxing systems in the world.
Lycon wax utilises hot wax (don’t worry it’s not too hot), to shrink-wrap even the shortest of hairs and remove them in one swift motion. Superior ingredients and application methods make Lycon waxing one of the best choices when it comes to waxing hair removal.
Lycon waxing offers a pain-free approach to waxing treatments and can even be used on sensitive skin. Our Lycon waxing treatments are not just about achieving smoother skin, they offer a chance to relax and unwind as our experts carefully deliver an entirely bespoke waxing treatment that meets your every need.
Areas We Wax
We are waxing specialists, you name it, we’ll wax it! Here are some of our favourites.
Bikini Waxing
Discover our no-nonsense bikini waxing with our “Bare Minimum” and “Inbetweeny” wax treatments. Bikini waxing removes hair around the bikini line, just outside the edges of underwear or swimwear, leaving the skin silky smooth and hair-free.
“Bare Minimum” is our straightforward bikini wax whereas “Inbetweeny” offers the benefit of a slightly larger treatment area.
Hollywood Wax
Get ready for the smoothest skin of your life with a “Full Monty” Hollywood wax from LuxWax!
This is the ultimate waxing treatment, leaving you completely hair-free and silky-smooth. Pure, long-lasting smoothness ensures that you feel incredible for weeks. Perfect for when you want to feel fresh and confident in any outfit – or nothing at all! Our wax specialists ensure every aspect of your wax is discreet and enjoyable.
Brazilian Wax
Ready to feel confident and smooth with a style of your preference? Our “Shape Tape” Brazilian wax is your go-to for ultimate bikini area smoothness!
Unlike a standard bikini wax, the Brazilian takes care of everything – front, back, and all the in-between – leaving you with a flawless, sleek finish with intimate hair styling to suit you. No more shaving, no more stubble, just long-lasting smoothness that lasts for weeks.
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 goodbye to daily shaving and hello to smooth, flawless underarms with our bespoke underarm waxing.
A quick, easy treatment that gives you weeks of silky-smooth skin, with no stubble in sight. Hair is removed from the root, meaning softer regrowth and fewer ingrown hairs. Underarm waxing is a ‘must’ for those looking to ditch the razor.
Arm Waxing
Tired of constantly shaving your arms? Choose from our “Forearms” or “Full Arms” waxing packages for smooth, touchable arms that last for weeks.
Arm waxing is perfect for special occasions, showing off sleeveless styles, or just wanting to feel more confident in your skin.
Benefits of Waxing for Hair Removal
Achieve long-lasting smoothness with luxurious waxing treatments from our hair removal experts. Waxing is a fast, effective means of hair removal.
Here’s why our clients love treatment at our waxing salon:
Longer-Lasting Smoothness
Waxing removes hair from the root, meaning you can enjoy silky-smooth skin for weeks instead of just days. Unlike shaving, which only cuts hair at the surface, waxing delays regrowth, leaving your skin feeling softer for longer.
Finer & Softer Regrowth
Over time, regular waxing can lead to finer, sparser hair regrowth. Since waxing weakens the hair follicle, new hair tends to be softer and less noticeable compared to the coarse stubble left by shaving.
Exfoliates the Skin
Waxing doesn’t just remove hair – it also lifts away dead skin cells, leaving your skin looking fresh, smooth, and radiant. This natural exfoliation helps prevent 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. Waxing eliminates these issues by removing hair from the root, reducing skin irritation and keeping ingrown hairs to a minimum.
Less Maintenance, More Convenience
With results lasting up to four weeks, waxing means fewer touch-ups and less time spent on daily hair removal. Perfect for those who want a low-maintenance beauty routine with maximum results.
Suitable for All Skin Types
Waxing is a gentle and effective hair removal method suitable for most skin types. At LuxWax, we use premium wax formulas designed to minimise discomfort and ensure the best possible results.
Waxing vs Shaving
While shaving only cuts hair at the surface, waxing removes it from the root, leading to smoother skin for longer. This means fewer touch-ups, softer regrowth, and a lower chance of irritation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find our list of frequently asked questions regarding our waxing services 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.
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?
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.

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 !
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!
