Waxing in Crawley

Waxing in Crawley
Waxing is a method of removing unwanted body hair and facial hair from the root. But the real benefit of hair removal using wax is because new hairs will not grow back in the waxed area for up to three to eight weeks. With repeated waxing, new hair growth in the waxed area is soft & fine, hair re-growth is less common & eventually may cease to grow back.  Fit Me Gorgeous hair removal using wax is for both men & women, including whole body waxing & intimate areas.

 

 

Our standard wax treatments use warm (strip) wax.  We also offer hot wax treatments for more intricate areas, such as eyebrows, top lip & for intimate waxing

Tips BEFORE Waxing 

PLEASE DO ENSURE your personal hygiene is of a high standard.
Your pain threshold is at is lowest during Menstruation, therefore, it is not recommended you undergo a waxing treatment during your Menstrual Cycle.
Lack of sleep & excess alcohol the night before your waxing is not recommended.
Your hair should be around 1/2 of an inch long in order for the wax to grip effectively. If your hair is too long, your waxing experience will be more uncomfortable.  Trim hair if necessary.
Make sure the skin is clean & there is no broken skin, scratches or bruises.
Firstly, start to exfoliate a few days before your waxing appointment.

 

 

Tips AFTER Waxing 

The treated area will be slightly tender for 12 hours or so.  You may notice some redness of the skin & have occassional tiny red blood spots.  Don’t worry as this is completely normal.
PLEASE NOTE – it is recommended you avoid hot baths, sunbeds, saunas, swimming, perfumed products (such as body lotion, shower gel, deodorants, etc) for 24 hours following any waxing treatment, specifically to avoid any harm to your skin. Remember to exfoliate after 24 hours from your appointment time has passed and thereafter on a regular basis.

WAXING TRUTHS & MYTHS

Waxing is now a very popular method of hair removal, but many myths surround it. Here we explain some common misconceptions…

Myth – Waxing causes hair to grow back thicker & darker
Fact – Waxing does not change the colour, thickness, or rate of hair growth. Notably it grows back with a fine point, which actually makes the look finer & thinner

This is the opposite effect to shaving which cuts the hair leaving it with a blunt edge. Hence why it grows back with a more prickly blunt tip.
Over time, waxing also reduces the coarseness of the hair as the follicle reduces, creating a finer hair.

Myth – Waxing is only for women
Fact – Waxing is for everyone

A wax pot does not discriminate as neither do I. Although waxing used to be deemed as a woman only thing, waxing has grown hugely in popularity for men

Myth – Waxing leads to saggy skin
Fact – There’s no scientific evidence to support waxing causes skin to sag

Skin elasticity is influenced by factors like genetics, sun exposure & aging, but not through hair removal using wax.

 

Myth – Being waxed is extremely painful
Fact – Whilst waxing can be uncomfortable, especially the first time, the pain is usually temporary & becomes easier & more tolerable with regular treatments

The pain is caused by the removal of the hair follicle, so with regular treatments this will ease.
Pain reduces with frequency as it is given less time to develop, resulting in a much less painful experience. We only use Hot Wax for intimate waxing, rather than the more harsh on-the-skin strip wax.
A good wax therapist becomes very adept at hair removal, because both technique & wax temperature are acquired skills learned over time. At our salon we only use top of the range products that minimise discomfort.

Myth – You can’t be waxed during your period
Fact – You can still be waxed during your period

We do ask that you pop a fresh tampon in prior to your treatment.
Your skin may be more sensitive due to hormonal changes but it doesn’t stop you from having a wax.
If you are prone to heavy bleeding, you just need to need to time your appointment to avoid times like this.

 

Myth – Waxing causes ingrown hair
Fact – Ingrown hairs can occur with any hair removal method, not just hair removal using wax

BUT I have learn’t during my long waxing career, that you are more prone to ingrown hairs if you do not leave enough time between appointments.
I personally recommend at least a 3 week hair growth between waxing appointments. This will also ensure that your waxing results in a smooth, fresh, blemish free appearance.
Proper exfoliation & moisturising can help prevent ingrown hairs. Additionally, professional waxing equipment & professional techniques carried out by a qualified therapist can reduce the risk of ingrown hairs, compared to an unqualified therapist or by using other hair removal methods.

Myth – Waxing leads to permanent hair removal
Fact: Waxing removes hair from the root, but it’s not usually a permanent solution

Ultimately, over time hair may grow back thinner & more sparse, but very rarely stops growing completely.
Although I have seen zero hair re-growth over the years, but only on a few clients.

Myth – You can’t be waxed if you have sensitive skin
Fact: People with sensitive skin can still wax, though they should take extra precautions, such as using gentle products & ensuring proper aftercare to prevent irritation

All of our wax is of a high quality, well known UK brand. We use both a standard wax & a sensitive wax designed for more sensitive skin.
If you do have sensitive skin, we will use Hot wax (non strip wax) on the face. For more intimate areas such as a Brazilian wax, we always use Hot wax, never strip wax. So rest assured you are in very safe hands.

Myth – Waxing can damage your skin
Fact – When done correctly by a professional using professional equipment, waxing is safe for the skin

It may cause temporary redness or irritation, but it shouldn’t cause lasting damage. Proper aftercare is crucial to avoid any issues.
Everything will be explained & any concerns you may have will be discussed during your appointment.

Myth – Hair removal using wax can only be done on long hair
Fact – Hair only needs to be about 1/3 inch long for waxing, which is typically about three weeks of growth

Your hair doesn’t need to be excessively long for effective an effective wax, quite the contrary in fact. If your hair is excessively long it can make your wax treatment fell more uncomfortable. It is always best to follow the recommended waxing guidelines (as listed above) & to trim the hair if necessary. But be careful not to trim your hair too short, as it needs to be long enough for the wax to get a grip.

With regular treatments, you will get incredible results that can last for weeks. I can’t tell you exactly how long it will take for your hair to grow back as everybody is so different. But on average every 4 – 6 weeks is ideal.

Understanding the truth behind these myths can help you make informed decisions about whether waxing is right for you. Having a better understanding can only help you have a better waxing experience if you do choose this hair removal method
