What’s the difference between hot wax and strip wax?

The main difference between the two is that strip wax involves using disposable strips to remove the hair, where as with hot wax, the wax is left to harden and then directly taken off.

Strip wax - is what most people think of when you mention waxing. It’s runny wax that’s applied in a thin layer using a disposable wooden spatula stick. Hair is then immediately removed by rubbing a disposable strip over it and quickly pulling it off.

Hot wax - is typically thicker in the pot and is applied thickly too. Your therapist uses a disposable wooden spatula stick to apply it. Over the next minute or so, the wax will harden slightly. Once ready, the wax is pull away and wax off in one entire piece. Hot wax is for waxing sensitive areas or thicker hair. Which is why the wax of choice for intimate waxing - Bikini/Hollywood/Brazilian waxes, underarm wax and facial waxing too.

It’s my Body and I’ll Wax if I Want To

We recognise that for many of our clients, having unwanted hair on certain body points is an extremely sensitive and emotive issue. Therefore, while we like to have fun with our business and our branding where we can, we also take the issue of hair removal extremely seriously. We take pride in the sheer professionalism that all of our therapist show and the compassionate, non-judgmental approach every single one of them takes to waxing.

Why should you wax, you may well ask?

The answer to that is very simple. It’s your body and you can wax if you want to! You should never wax, on the other hand, because someone else (or society) expects you too. And we’re not going to tell you that having a wax is cleaner, more hygienic, or give you a list of any other reasons why you should have one, because we don’t believe in that stuff.

This means that if you want it absolutely all off, we’ll take it all off. If you want to keep it all on and just have a little tidy up round the sides, that’s cool with us too. If you like your legs hairy and your underarms smooth, we can do that, and if you’ve got no problem with your moustache but want an Hollywood / Brazilian, then that’s what we’ll happily provide. And you can rest assured that whatever you have (or haven’t got) going on down there – or anywhere else – and whatever shape, size, or type you are, no one at Waxing Me Pretty will ever judge, balk or be fazed.

All we want, when all is said and done, is to help make you feel good about yourself.

Choose a skilled waxer. All salons offer waxing but not all of them do it well. An intimate wax should not be intimidating or painful. Go to a therapist who has had specific training - shockingly most therapists have had no proper training in intimate waxing.
