Waxing is a semi permanent form of hair removal.  If you find waxing painful why not try hot wax, it is less painful than strip wax (cool wax) and also less likely to cause ingrown hair.

WAXING ESSENTIALS
To get the best out of your wax, please read the following tips:

• Exfoliate and do not apply body lotion on the day of your wax.
• Ensure the hair is at least 0.5cm long.
• Do not have any heat treatments (sauna, Jacuzzi, sun bed, workout, swim) 4 hours before and 24 hours after your wax.
• Do not use any deodorants 48 hours after underarm waxing.
